Are you alright with a slow burn?
It is no secret that the best first date I ever went on was exciting – homemade dinner at midnight, accompanied by a great bottle of wine, kitchen singing, and a personal drum lesson. That “relationship” was full of passion- it was thrilling, fun, lively. I felt so happy! Even now, when I speak of this first date, my face lights up. Unfortunately, it also ended as quickly as it started – despite the amazing chemistry, after a few months, we realized we were on different pages. We don’t talk now.

What do you hear when I say 'good night'?
I've suffered from insomnia for long enough. I am afraid of the darkness. And most of my dreams are crazy. For me, sleeping doesn't always mean a pleasant thing to do. It is ironic that I hate night time as much as I love the beautiful sunset right before it gets dark.

Love
Love the word that every person wants to hear and feel in one way or the other. There are many different types of love; love for yourself, your family, your spouse or significant other, your children and your friends. We think we know what love is, but do we really? We imagine from a tender age what our future love will be like. From fairy tales to books to movies on television. Our views of how love should be is changed and sometimes warped.

Twin Flames
You've probably heard the story of twin flames. Its the biggest rage right now. Unfortunately, with any new fad, comes misunderstanding. One of the most challenging things about a twin flame relationship is that there is absolutely no way to confirm it, other than the feelings in your own heart.

When There Is No Question He Is THE ONE...
I literally came home to this gorgeous beautiful bouquet of colorful flowers the Friday before Mother’s Day!! Wow! Totally unexpected and for the first time in my life, a man that I am intimately involved with successfully surprised me! Did I mention that earlier in the week, I slept through our lunch date and he had ordered us a heart-shaped pizza?! And he wasn’t even upset I missed our date! He understands I have a demanding job, even more so now that we are two months into the COVID-19 pandemic, and my exhaustion finally got the best of me...I slept through the alarm that was going to lead to such a romantic night. Well clearly I suck and well clearly, he’s a keeper!

Being A Hopeless Romantic
I have been in love with love I believe since I was in the womb. A natural born hopeless romantic if you will. I didn’t ask to be this way, but obviously the love Gods didn’t care how much I felt like I could’ve been better off, without that character flaw. Yes I said character flaw. Now I’m nowhere near being the “I don’t want to love anymore” type, but I won’t lie that feeling washes over me just about everyday. I grew up being a dreamy child, who believed love was candy, flowers, and poetry. And I believe it still is… my favorite romantic film is Loves Jones for God sakes. I became an overcompensator when it came to love, completely genuine, but it didn’t matter. That’s how I knew not everyone deserves what I give and what I see.

Waiting
He sat in the small café, looking out of the rain covered window at the cold, grey, miserable morning. His mug of tea sat growing cold in front of him. A scattering of crumbs were all that was left of his toast. He could have easily had tea and toast at home, but this café was an escape from the loneliness that his house imprisoned him in. He watched an old lady trying to cross the street. She trod into a big puddle after being overwhelmed by the noise of the heavy traffic. He thought of her as an old lady, but she was probably not far off his own age. It was funny how he still thought of himself as a much younger man. Only his failing body was a constant reminder of the cruel reality behind his false self-image. Old age had crept up on him while he was too busy doing other stuff to notice, and had robbed him of his health and vitality. As he watched a young lady help the elderly lady to cross safely, a song came on the little radio that sat at the end of the café counter. It brought to an end, the monotonous torture of some political debate between the DJ and an arrogant local councillor, of whom he had never heard.

Don’t Buy The Lemon
Love is a funny thing. We think we know exactly what we are doing until we realize we don’t. You know, you meet a guy/girl and they seem so perfect. Until the “honeymoon” phase is over and then you realized “what was I thinking”. Some of us are lucky enough to not constantly go through the roller coaster of settling for the face value of a partner. This is for those that are wondering “why do I keep dating losers”?

An Open Letter to My Husband
Before you, I thought it was normal to feel inadequate in a relationship. Before you, I was so used to being spoken to in a condescending tone. Before you, I thought “real love” included putting up with emotional abuse. Before you, I had no idea what “real love” was.
