I am not hiding my face behind my face when I say this: “I’m a lover girl in her 30s.”
I used to feel like I had to tone that part of me down. I felt that being soft, romantic, or openly desiring love made me seem naïve after all the heartbreak I have encountered. Society often tells us to be cautious, guarded and remain with a plan while strategizing.

Last Valentine’s Day, I was in the early weeks of a situationship unfolding. I thought I had something to toast to, but instead, I was left disappointed. Yeah, I am talking about no gift. No effort. Not even the smallest gesture of appreciation.

DMX said, “Let a dog roam, and he’ll find his way home. They always come back! Who is they? A man from your past popping up like he never left? Is he two steppin’ while, and sliding into your DMs, acting like he just wanted to say hey?

As I approach the second anniversary of my divorce this October, I've reflected on the journey I've traveled in the realm of love and relationships. Navigating the intricate dating world has been both exhilarating and daunting. It has been a delicate balance between my desire for connection and my fear of heartbreak.

In today's modern dating landscape, it's not uncommon to find ourselves entangled in situationships. Situationships can be defined as those ambiguous relationships that lack commitment, and clarity, and leave us feeling emotionally drained. Defined by inconsistent communication, intermittent intimacy, and a distinct lack of defined boundaries.
I am alone but not lonely on the night of Valentine's Day. This is the day of love, romance, and affection, so folks say. As I sit here on my couch, wine in hand, I can't help but reflect on the journey that led me to this moment of solitude.
Love has a way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it. It transcends time and defies all logical boundaries. But in a world filled with rules and timelines, we often find ourselves asking, "When is it too soon to fall in love?"
The holiday season is filled with festive decorations, cozy gatherings, and the spirit of giving. For many, it's also a season for romance, as the atmosphere encourages us to connect with loved ones, old and new.
There's no such thing as a perfect love story anyway. There can be a true love story that you can create for yourself first. It's time to take control and step into the spotlight as the main character of your love life. Here are some tips to help you become the leading role in your romantic journey:
It’s alright to be a person who loves love but sometimes avoids the potential of falling into it. I am surely not here to judge you. The idea of dating can be more daunting than the prospect of remaining single.
Relationships are a beautiful part of life that can bring joy, support, and fulfillment. However, not all relationships are healthy or nurturing. When toxicity seeps into a partnership, it can emotionally, mentally, and even physically drain us.
What does the rhythm of your own heart sound like? I imagine my heart to sound powerful now because just about a year ago it sounded like weathered beats on a bass drum off in a distance. My heart was low vibrational. It had been overly exposed to the elements of love, pain, deceit, and lust.
The human body is an amazing thing as well as being mindful of who you choose and how you decide to give them your body is too. Great sexual intimacy is one of the best parts of a relationship. There is something special about sharing passionate, pleasurable moments with someone you find attractive.
