I'm sitting at work and I have music playing and "You Matter to Me" from the musical Waitress comes up next in my shuffled playlist. When I saw the play, I sobbed during this song. Mostly because I was meant to see the play with my boyfriend and instead was seeing it with my little… Continue reading Considering the stay

Was it all smoke and mirrors?
Well folks, it seems I can never learn lessons the easy way. I fell for the oldest trick in the book, post-painful break-up - the old "let's be friends" line. My ex and I had been chatty lately and he and I agreed to be friends, which felt okay. I have been in a really… Continue reading Was it all smoke and mirrors?
It’s bigger than us
I am a die-hard fan of The Hills and now of The Hills: New Beginnings. Both shows are famous for using some beautifully poignant music for each scene or big moment in each episode.

It’s just realizing… Continue reading Falling into the arms of friendship

I'll go to work, come home, work out, make dinner, and then watch some television with my family. I suffered a major heartbreak at the tail… Continue reading Ghosted by my 31-year old boyfriend

Does being a woman automatically make me a mother? I'm already a mother to a 2-year-old Maine Coon cat. Isn't that enough? Later on, I started thinking about what might happen if my boyfriend and I do get our act together and settle down. I don't know that I have the wife gene either. What if settling isn't actually what I want? What if that's just the lie I have been telling myself because it's expected of me?
