About

After ending a toxic, long-term relationship in early 2020, I was forced to look inward and really decide how I was going to proceed with this next chapter of my life. What began as simply writing down my feelings, transformed in to a full blown memoir of my life.

Reflecting on those difficult years allowed me to understand myself better. I see, now, why I did what I did. Why I made such poor romantic decisions, and how I ended up where I am – a single, happy, 30something ready to conquer whatever else life throws at her.

That being said, pandemic dating has been interesting. Imagine being trapped in a horrible relationship, only to break free two months before another plague? The Universe really wanted me to do some soul searching.

Now, though, a couple years in to this new normal, I’ve begun to accept my true self. I’m more conscious of the choices I make, and I try to be more self aware. (Which just means, I’m not in denial anymore about my horrible taste in men)

I never would have expected I’d be posting my deepest secrets online for strangers to read. But through my healing I realized, maybe something I went through in the early chapters could help someone else who’s struggling? Maybe people will relate to the the mis-adventures of my new single life, and could find as much humour in it as I do?

At the very least, this blog has become an artistic expression of how far I’ve come in my life. Thanks for joining me on this journey.

Reflection of 2024

It’s that time of year again. The period between Christmas and New Years where time ceases, and we tend to question our entire existence. Reliving every little thing we’ve done over the past twelve months, good and bad, and planning to do better next year. As if the ritual of taking down last year’s calendar …
