I have realised something about some of my past “let’s call them flings” – well other than them being disappointments – they were indecisive as hell, in one way or another. There’s a delicate balance to be found in handling a strong woman, and as strong as we are, we don’t want a man we can walk all over. I’m a feminist and proud but I … Continue reading How To Get A Man? Question 4: Go With The Flow Or Take Charge?
I’m gonna out myself as a literary nerd and report that my ideas began with D.H. Lawrence and his novel “Women in Love”. This book was assigned as a part of my English Literature class in high school and my young mind being the sponge that it was, soaked up the theories that the author suggests and somehow continue to resonant with me today. Most … Continue reading Together, Yet Separate: My Perfect Relationship

I am a reader – always have been – one of my first memories is about learning to read (great story for another time). Being a reader makes me look smart and I like that – I am smart – I’ll admit it and I take great pride in it. Growing up, I’ve always been the smart one – even when I wanted to be … Continue reading Confessions Of A Reader: How Mills And Boon Corrupted Me
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. Most people will easily recognize this quote as the very first lines in of the novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. One of my all time favorite novels I must say, who doesn’t love Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, despite their flaws, … Continue reading Prisoners Of Socialization
With the idea of being brutally honest and no longer hiding from myself – I share the following. Just something else, I thought I had gotten over but only managed to bury. I wrote this after not speaking to my mother for about 2-3 years and learning that she had a brain tumor. Diary Entry – February 19, 2008 My soul, my spirit is … Continue reading Resentment
There are times when words seem to bubble up inside me and start to ebb and flow inside my skull like the ocean’s tide. It’s times like these that I must pause and try to capture this sliver of emotion. So today, the duality of womanhood has suddenly blossomed in my subconscious – my own in particular. I can recall saying to an ex-boyfriend, When I … Continue reading No More Broken Hearts
Valentine’s day that most hated of days for single people – even if we don’t admit it to ourselves. It’s the day when the world screams at us, for being pathetic and alone. Our over commercialized world won’t let us ignore it, with their gift ideas and pre-packaging everything for two. Even the most unromantic of us, feel compelled to procure the usual chocolate or … Continue reading Valentine’s Day Falls On A Friday This Year – Kill Me Now
I saw the title of my post in someone’s status message this morning on Facebook and it has stuck with me all day. What a profound sentiment but how the hell does one do that? Another clichĂ©Â comes immediately to mind when i think of this predilection – “the first cut is the deepest”. After that first brutal heartbreak only very few of us manage to … Continue reading Love like you have never been hurt
Modern society teaches us ‘how to be lonely’ – in essence, how to be content by ourselves. We are empowered, embolden and utterly accustomed to receiving numerous forms of fleeting gratification. We have so many things to keep us busy, so many bright distractions and dazzling displays. All in an effort to mask the fact that we rush through our lives utterly … Alone. The worse part … Continue reading Lonely
