Bio
I write and have done so all my life. I'm not entirely certain how compelling my writing is, but three months ago I made it my career; a fairly brave move I would say. I'm making it work. I'm indomitable.

The Cautionary Nature of My Love Life
I never seem to learn. In some ways, I feel annoyed at being able to pinpoint the unhealthy aspects I allow in a relationship. But then, in other ways, I don't really mind because I am who I am. I am unlikely to change without receiving a whole lot of [necessary] therapy. I find myself in a squeezing and suffocating position of seeing an issue, drawing correlations from my past; and knowing the root of my toxic behaviors, and why I allow others to treat me poorly. Even more frustrating, I can pinpoint the same facets in my lover with ease. With a compassionate spirit, I sigh and nod wisely. My sensitive feelings hurt, I cry as I also play therapist: "There, there, I know you lash out because you fear commitment; and you fear commitment because your mother withheld nurturing love until she was strong enough to do so, which means you feel love is conditional and you fear that once you allow it in, it may be pulled away."
