This is for all the people who are irritated by the cliches that people in relationships think are advice. All the: "you'll find them when you least expect it", "work on yourself", "put yourself out there". I am here to explain the "bad" advice that everyone gives before I get in a relationship. Yes, you… Continue reading Hidden and Protected: Something Feels Different

A Crush by Any Other Name
When my alarm went off this morning, I lay there for a snooze and wondered if you'd be at work today. If you weren't going to be, I could snooze once more then throw on my uniform and grab coffee before running out. If you were, I would need to get up... I would need… Continue reading A Crush by Any Other Name
Breaking a Toxic Cycle
One of the best things about being a girl has to be the way we share about the guys we like. I always love telling and hearing about the cute moments. I told my friends I was talking to this guy, he was picking on me about the way I say "taco" and I would… Continue reading Breaking a Toxic Cycle
im-Patiently Waiting
I am a month away from being 25 and I have never been in a real relationship. Sure, I've flirted and been on a few dates here and there. I've gotten close to guys, seen their vulnerabilities and shared my own. I have showed my big personality and waited for the initial novelty to wear… Continue reading im-Patiently Waiting
Mixed Signals
I have been annoying my family and friends with my drama about a guy that I had once liked and now wanted to be a friend. I am no longer upset, but it isn't yet talked out of my system so buckle up. He was a crush that I found to be a sweet friend.… Continue reading Mixed Signals
Shhhhh, I’m Trying to Forget You.
What is it with former significant others timing? They leave your life, wait for you to get settled in your life without them again and then, and only then, they contact you. Think about it, if that text came in 2 days after the break-up you may have gotten back together. I mean, there is… Continue reading Shhhhh, I’m Trying to Forget You.
The 5 things I’m looking for in a partner
Honestly I don't know why I am writing this. I am not delusional enough to think that my perfect guy is going to read this and somehow find a way to me through this (like so many of the romcoms I love). I guess it is just for my thought process and to know what… Continue reading The 5 things I’m looking for in a partner
Tinder Detox
So, as you may or may not have read (and if you haven't you can read it here) I deleted tinder about a week ago. And really, I don't miss it. For the most part... What I didn't really expect was the feeling of needing to detox from it. I guess I could have weened… Continue reading Tinder Detox
Deleting Tinder
In the near 1 year that I had Tinder I matched with 374 guys, messaged about 50, gave my snapchat to 4, my phone number to 2, and met 1. I downloaded the app last August on a whim and deleted it the same way. And if you're like tinder, you want to know why.… Continue reading Deleting Tinder
What Planning Vacations has Taught Me.
I have struggled with timing in my life. I always want to do everything PERFECT but I also lack patients and I want everything done FAST. I unfortunately get crippled by the inability to do both together sometimes resulting in me not doing anything at all--and my fear of failure has definitely kept me from… Continue reading What Planning Vacations has Taught Me.
Wanted: A Godly Husband
Dating as a 20 something in 2019 is weird. We are all trying to maintain our looks and our social life while simultaneously growing our professional lives--oh and try to get some sleep in there too. Whether you've dated a lot before now or not one thing is certain... if you're trying to find a… Continue reading Wanted: A Godly Husband
Girls Aren’t the Confusing Ones
I've grown up with a lot of guys. My brother and his friends, my best friends, they've always been people I relate to. All through my teen years I listened to my guy friends complain about their "crazy girlfriends" or how the girls they liked were so confusing and they couldn't figure out what they… Continue reading Girls Aren’t the Confusing Ones
Dating a Disney Villain
Most of my life I have been pursued by less than ideal guys. I have a large chest and long hair and generally that's all it takes to be the subject of some unwanted gawking. And recently (per my other post) I joined tinder. I have literally met 1 guy out of the near 400… Continue reading Dating a Disney Villain
I Tindered…
I consider myself somewhat old fashion. I have hopeless romantic ideals, but as a rom com and country music fan I really didn’t stand a chance. My favorite movie is Deadpool after all. All that said, I recently downloaded tinder... yeah my eyes rolled at myself too so don’t feel too bad. At first I… Continue reading I Tindered…
