Who Needs Help When You Can Open a Jar?
One day, I tried to open a jar of pickles. I was just standing there in the kitchen, twisting it with all my strength. I tried for almost ten minutes. I didn’t want anyone’s help because I really believed I could do it by myself. I kept thinking, “No, I don’t need anyone. I got…

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…

Mad Men Made Me Mad (And That’s Probably Why I’ll Keep Watching It)
So, I just started watching Mad Men on Netflix yesterday. I know, I know, it’s a really old series. I’ve actually known about it for a long time, but I never really got around to watching it. All I knew was that it’s about advertising and marketing, and people always say it’s a classic. And…

Learning I’m Not Hard to Love Was My Biggest Fight
I used to think I was hard to love. Or maybe I was just too much, or not enough. I’d be the one who blamed myself first when anything went wrong, especially in my love life. It was easier that way, right? To believe that the problems came from something inside me. Maybe I thought…

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 Don’t Need to Understand Everything and That’s Okay
I accept the fact that sometimes I don’t need to understand anything. And that’s new for me because I’ve always liked to analyze everything. Sometimes that’s a good thing, but lately, I’ve come to a conclusion, maybe not everything needs to be understood. And weirdly, that makes me enjoy life a little more. I don’t…

Sick of the Same Old Power Struggle
I have been watching Jubilee a lot lately. I just realized how much I enjoy hearing people argue. Not in a toxic way, more like, it’s a space where people actually speak their minds. But the more I watch, the more I feel like some men just don’t want to accept the fact that women…

Being a Woman in a Misogynistic World
Sometimes, I have to remind myself that good people still exist. Because let’s be real, the world feels like a constant cycle of bad news, bad people, and bad vibes. And when it comes to men, I have to remind myself even more. There are good men out there, sure, but damn, when you live…

What to Do When You Miss Someone?
I’m someone who always misses people because, duh, I’m a lover girl. But it’s not just that, I think I’m a nostalgic person in general. Not in a sad, miserable way, but in a “wow, that was a good time” kind of way. I just miss the feeling, you know? But lately, I’ve been wondering……

Solo Date, A Few Things on My Mind
Two days ago, I decided to take myself on a date. It had been a while since I went out alone, and I figured it was about time. At first, I was nervous, so much so that I ended up calling a couple of friends just to hear their voices. As soon as I hung…
