Fall at your own risk.

Just a warning to any of my current or potential suitors.
I love you all, I do – but I’m not sure if you’ll get me in the end… because I am not sure about what I’m feeling, I can’t be. I have a son. I have to be very, very careful with my heart. I [...]

A letter to my future husband.

This could be a letter to no body. To the air. To the moon. To whoever is listening. Because I may never get married again. But I just felt like writing a love letter to somebody … so why not him?
He who is a distant figment of my imagination but maybe if I start [...]

Baggage check: I won’t let myself fall in love.

I left my phone charger in California. And after one day with no interruptions and no friends to run my emotions by … I realized how nice it is to be disconnected. So I didn’t buy a new one. Now it’s been five days of phone free bliss and a lot of time to reflect. [...]

Oh me, oh my. The sparks are flying.

Remember what crush butterflies feel like?

Just when I thought I was safe…

Six weeks ago I had reached a point of complete contentment with being single.
Over the past year and a half I have been looking, searching for someone. There was a pattern. I liked a guy. We hit it off. I scared him off. My friends told me, “You’re calling him too much.”
