Hello, have we met? I am a sexually active asexual (sometimes), aromantic woman in a romantic relationship, and a proud, child free (not) mother of three. I am single…ish. Only my partner of twelve years, my intimate friendships, my play partners. But I check “Single” on my tax form. Or I used to, before I …
you are worthy of being seen, heard, felt, loved of feeling secure, protected, helped, supported of waking up to happy thoughts once in a while of falling asleep, knowing someone’s got you so you can let go of having enough food, a safe place to live, and means to mend a broken 💔 or body …
Someone recently equivocated loyalty and commitment in a conversation. Or perhaps they didn’t mean their words to be taken in that manner. Regardless, it’s not the first time I’ve come cross the idea that Loyalty=commitment Romance and Commitment. “I want someone loyal to me, someone who knows how to commit.” Romance is often portrayed in …

There’s this scene from Bojack Horseman with the titular Bojack gazing into his publicist, Anna Spanakopita’s, home. She’s making dinner.

I’ve heard that a million times. “You’re too nice!” Said to myself (in regards to what I do for others) and to others (in regards to what they do for me). I never know if it’s supposed to be a shocked utterance, an insult, or even a compliment of sorts? It often comes from a …
I feel sorry for Kamila Valieva. Judge me for that if you like, but I am. I hate that she’s fucked, all because she listened to the “wrong” adults in her life. Of course she’s fifteen. It’s not her fault. How could she have known better? (Please, I know she was fifteen and I’m guessing she …
Not tomorrow, not in a week’s time, not in the distant future. Not what can we do to bring change in a year, in ten years, in our lifetime. But what can we do today? I have, as many of us do, plots and conspiracies. Theories and ideas. Brilliant, intricate masterminded ambitions. …but not all …
