• Life After Miscarriage (LAM)

  Part 1 (Almost nothing about the actual experience of miscarriage) It’s been so long since I’ve written, I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out how to get into this site. A lot can change in a year, I guess. It’s 3 AM, and I can’t sleep, even though I’m tired as hell. Life is…

• Extinguishing Expectations

  Lately, I’ve been focusing wholeheartedly on untangling the preconceived ideas of who I think I should be, the things I think I should have, and the things I think I should be doing from the realities of my current opportunities. What is normal, anyway? Seemingly, the idealistic version of ourselves is created internally through a…

• A Mother Unrealized

  In explaining my life and who I am with my initial post, I mentioned that I found myself pregnant at the age of 20 – an age when I hadn’t yet begun travelling the road of healing. I met J’s dad at my new job, and we instantly clicked. We were together for a mere…

• Who is Love? (Pt. 2)

  “I’m Really in Love with Two People” “Who is Love?” is intended as an investigative series in which I attempt to analyze the idea of love and sexuality and where they intersect in someone’s life. And at that intersection – inspect the impact on how we use our experiences to formulate our personal identity. My…

• Self Worth + Identity

  I wear a mandala chain around my neck that reminds me each day that, “I Am Worthy”. ❤ Recently, I wrote at length about growing up in a home where my identity was prescribed to me from birth as being worthless. As children, we are born into this world completely innocent, totally void of knowledge,…

• My Heart is Open

  मेरा दिल खुला है Mera Dil Khula Hai In a recent post, I talked at length about the how and the why of being single over the last 7 years… it’s been a journey of self-discovery, loneliness, growth and most importantly a lesson in understanding the importance of vulnerability. A few months ago, I was…

• Conscientiously Falling in Love

  I constantly tell people how long I’ve been single. Mostly, because I had no idea I would end up being single for this long — 7 years. I’ve been single for 7 long years. Now, there are some caveats, if I’m being honest. One of them is a two year caveat, actually… but the thing is, when…

• Who is Love? (Pt. 1)

  “Summum Bonum” Summum Bonum I was actually peeing when a monstrous epiphany hit me pretty hard – I was sitting there wondering why girls are taught to care so much about their reputation when it comes to sex when I realized that somewhere along the way, the advice was simply twisted.  It is important to…
