You don’t want a relationship, but you use the people around you to get all the benefits of one without having to make the same commitment.

Go inward. It sounds counterintuitive, but sometimes you need to dig into your psyche in order to be okay getting out of your own head.

Breathe. Seriously. Just breathe.

Yes, I write about myself. I write about my life. I write what I know.

I cannot shake that nagging desire for a partner to share in my adventures.

You are a creature of love, light, and kindness. It’s not a bad thing, but it certainly makes life tougher when the stars do not align in your favor.

I am not here to be what some man thinks he wants. I am here to be appreciated by the man who knows that he wants me.

The world has an image of the perfect girl. It saturates our social media feeds. She’s lovely, but in a natural way, with a softly flowing mane of hair and pearlescent white teeth.

I know how precious it is to find a man who knows who he is, what he stands for and what he wants.

Sometimes when I’m really comfortable with a person, I end up teasing them mercilessly. I think it’s funny but I’ve definitely been known to cross the line.

Now I revel in the ease that platonic male companionship brings. There’s no need to worry about impressing anyone. There are no emotional stakes; I don’t have to fear rejection or heartbreak.

I can promise you that knowing me will only make you better because I am a quality human being. I am loyal and I will always be here for you as long as you are honest and straightforward with me.
