What If the People We Trust Aren’t Safe?
I’ve been binge-watching Law and Order lately. I don’t know why me and SA crime stories are so intertwined in this strange fascination. It’s not that I enjoy seeing what happens to the victims. In fact, I cry so hard for them. Sometimes I even have to pause and catch my breath. But I keep…

Maybe I Don’t Belong Anywhere (and Maybe That’s Okay)
As I was on the bike home, I started thinking about whether or not I belong anywhere at all. It’s weird. I was born in a small town, but my life has always existed somewhere between that and the city. It’s like I’m always floating between two worlds. Can I even say I’m a city…

Love, Doubts, and the Choice Not to Have Kids
I know for a fact that I don’t want to be a mom. It’s not something I’m unsure about, and it’s not something I’m saying just for now. It’s something I’ve felt deeply and repeatedly. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love kids. In fact, I think I’ll always love kids, maybe even more than…

Trying to Date Again (But Not Really)
I just got back on a dating app. Somehow. I’m not really sure what made me do it. Maybe I was bored. Maybe I wanted to see what was out there. Or maybe I just wanted to feel something again. But the weird part is, being on there actually makes me not want to date…

Am I Rusty or Just Healing?
Okay so first of all, hi. I know I’ve been quiet for a bit (a whole week, which is like forever in my world), but I’m back now, and I’ve got a lot to say. And FYI, I wrote this around last week. I had a weird dream the other night. Not gonna lie, it…

I Am the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me
I just watched a stupid movie called “Ricky Stanicky” on Prime Video. It was okay, not something I’d rave about. But near the end, there was this line: “Erin’s the best thing that ever happened to me.” And out of nowhere, a tear rolled down my cheek. My brain instantly asked, “Has anyone ever felt…

Spontaneous Love Thoughts Coming Your Way
Okay, so this one wasn’t exactly planned. It’s one of those random thoughts that just popped into my head, and I figured, why not write about it? I’ve been thinking a lot about love lately, how it looks for other people versus how it looks for me. So, here I am, sitting down to share…

What If I just…Learning to Love Myself in the Chaos
Let’s talk about something real. If you’ve read my blogs before, you probably already know that writing is my way of sorting through the mess in my head. Sometimes, it turns into something deeper, like a song. And that’s exactly what happened here. This wasn’t planned, wasn’t even thought out. It just came out one…

What I Thought My Mind Was Telling Me (Or Maybe Not?)
Dreams are such strange things. Sometimes, they feel like they’re just little random flashes in your mind. Other times, it seems like they’re trying to tell you something big. It’s something you need to hear. Yet, you don’t always want to face it. A few days ago, I had one of those dreams. It was…

Letting Go, But First, Let Me Write a Damn Song About It
Alright, let’s talk. If you’ve ever found yourself typing out a love song or let’s be real, a full-blown emotional monologue on your phone’s notes app, then you get it. You’re tangled up in your own head, overthinking every little moment, reading into every word, convincing yourself that what you’re feeling is either the start…
