  • Kiss and Tell

    I have been thinking about this story for a whole month now. I would have gladly let it go if it didn’t keep popping into the forefront of my mind and driving me insane. I can’t stop thinking about him. Can’t stop thinking about his buff chest and broad shoulders.…

  • It’s a Millennial Thing

    “Millennials, are you okay?” I had to start with that because I’ve seen that meme, joke, and question shared more times than I can count. Millennials (Gen Y, born roughly between 1981 and 1996), have been in a constant struggle to find their place between the disciplined Baby Boomers and…

  • Navigating the Urban Jungle

    Within the past week, I had to go into town. What should have been a 20-minute walk ended up taking me about 45 minutes, walking from one end of town to the other. I generally dislike going into town, and when I do, I try to avoid certain streets or…

  • Dear Future Daughter

    You are loved. You are cherished. Don’t let anyone make you feel like you are hard to love. And it will happen. It has happened to me too. People always try to beat you down. The world will come at you in all ways possible. Don’t let them in. Do…

  • Kinky Bucket List

    Early this month, I came across a blog and the writer had written her list of kinky things she’d like to try. I was impressed not just with what she wanted to try out, but also with her courage to pen them down. And so I reached deep within me…

  • My Dear Natural Crown

    For years, I tried to shape you into something you were not, believing the world would find you and me more acceptable that way. I hid you under scarves, under hats, And for months and months, I straightened you, plaited you, braided you just so I wouldn’t have to deal…

  • Dating Dilemmas

    There’s nothing that has been more confusing to me as today’s version of dating. “You look like an interesting person. Let’s hang out.” Like on a date? Am I coming to meet you as you meet your other friends? Is it a platonic tea / coffee date or a potential…
