This will be the first in a series of posts about my experiences with dating apps. In this one, I want to focus on the reasons why I, personally, am not interested in a person based on the information provided in a profile. Now, based on the app, that information may vary. Tinder provides minimal… Continue reading 11 Reasons Why I Swipe Left
This blog could be real short. Just take the advice written in the title and live it, breathe it, bathe in it. However, titles are usually meant to be expanded on so I’ll do the same—with my much-earned experience in the subject. Also, despite the title being geared toward ‘men’ this topic easily applies to… Continue reading Don’t Let a Man Cramp Your Style, Literally
I am thirteen, squished in the back rows of the bus on the way to middle school, when I hear the song for the first time. We only have two turns left until we park and climb off for another day. I am in the seventh grade. In the mornings, I buy two chocolate chip… Continue reading Taylor Swift as Greek Chorus
I’ll be the first one to admit I’m not the best at following through on my goals. So when I said I was going to take back my identity post-breakup, I didn’t expect too much from myself. After all, I’m busy with grad school, have a habit of falling back into bad habits real… Continue reading Party for One: How Am I Doing?
I was not looking forward to Valentine’s Day this year. I haven’t spent the holiday alone since 2013, and that was the ultimate treat-myself day. For the last five years, I was part of a couple on the Most Important Day for Lovers. We didn’t always celebrate it in the most romantic way, but… Continue reading All the Single Ladies: Valentine’s Day 2019
My best friend of twelve years has said more than once I tend to lose myself in relationships. He pointed this out with my high school boyfriend and, to his credit, he pointed out the warning signs in the early months of dating The Captain (and there’re comments to prove it on my old… Continue reading Lost Girl: Taking Back My Identity Post-Breakup
The Captain and I have been together for 1,208 days and—until recently—the longest we’d been apart was ten days, and that was in 2014. We live together, run errands together, and spend a great deal of time together. However, it was beginning to catch up with us as we’d started being described as an “old… Continue reading Oceans Apart: Three Weeks Without The Captain
On Wednesday, The Captain and I celebrated our three year anniversary. We didn’t really do anything fancy or super special, but that’s kind of the new normal for us now. All we did was go out for dinner at Olive Garden, treat ourselves to some wine, and have a delicious meal together and reminisce… Continue reading The Captain & I: Three Years of Little Things
I love resolutions. I love goals. I love New Year’s Eve when I can say goodbye to another year and look forward with wide-eyed hope to change and success in the future. Does that always happen? Not really. This year I made a long list of resolutions because I figured if I had more than… Continue reading I Find My Lack of Resolve Disturbing
The Captain and I have been together for three total Christmases now, but this was our first official one as an engaged couple and the first that I did not spend with my family. So it was definitely different, but not bad. It made me realize and appreciate the holidays even more than usual and… Continue reading Christmas with The Captain
