& All Swiped Out
You shouldn’t be able to shop for a soulmate the same way you find your next pair of shoes. — Me (In a recent conversation with my best friend) Recently, I was thinking about online dating again and as tech savvy and innovative as I consider myself, I just can’t get down with it….
& 11:11
It’s 11:11 and instead of making wishes I’m up smiling thinking about the art that’s gonna be bomb when I’m done processing the hurt you put me through …again. I thought we were done with the back and forth the junior high games… Why can’t you make up your mind Why are you so freakin’…
& Bound to Be
I do not remember life before writing. It’s always been a constant in my life. Growing up I was always drowning in a sea of books. The Braddock Carnegie Library was our afterschool program and our summer camp. During the school year they helped us with our homework and in the summer they taught us…
& Chess

& Butterflies
I only know how to love you, even if you don’t want me to… After all these years you still give me butterflies in the deepest pits of my stomach. Your rare smiles make the corner of my eyes curl. I can still see the young man I met years ago every time I stare…
& Tinder, Love and Comedy
Today I deleted Tinder for the third time in the last whirlwind of a year. Tinder was an experiment and a lazy effort to put myself out there to explore what else the world had to offer while I was taking a break from my junior high sweetheart. An article in Cosmo intrigued me about…
& I Don’t Know How To Girl
Growing up with two brothers (and two step-brothers), I’ve mostly been the only girl! I got the best of both worlds. I had every Barbie that you could imagine yet I would still take my brother’s WWF figurines and stomp my feet crying until they let me play flag football with them. I was a cheerleader yet I…
OMG It's Just Daé
