If a man’s dating profile says he is “open to short,” “open to long term,” “casual,” and “friendship” all at once, read it again. That is not a man keeping his options open. That is a man telling you, in writing, that you are an option. And you keep falling for it. He is not undecided. He is unbothered. He has no intention of choosing, …
Why a Single Mother Deserves Father’s Day
Every June, the same script runs. Cards for dad. Posts about the man who taught you to ride a bike. Brunches and ties and “world’s best father” mugs. And somewhere in the middle of all of it sits a woman who did every single one of those things alone, watching a holiday celebrate a role she has been filling by herself for years. So let …
My Love Language: Acts of Service
I took the 5 Love Languages quiz and it told me what I already knew. My love language is acts of service. No surprise there. I am practical. I am pragmatic. When it comes to love, actions speak louder than words, and acts of service fits me like a glove. I do not get butterflies over a paragraph in my texts. I get them when …

The vibe. The cleanup nobody noticed. A woman. Every baby ever born came through a woman. We grow a whole human from nothing. Then we make the milk that feeds them. …
Maybe I’m Glad I Didn’t Get Ariana Grande’s Concert Tickets
So last year, Ariana Grande announced her tour and I was excited but hesitant. I wasn’t feeling the last album (only two songs did it for me), and on top of that, I had just gotten laid off. So I held off, thinking I’d maybe grab last minute tickets this year instead. Then she announced a new album dropping this summer, and honestly? I’m hoping …
What ‘Wanting to Be Chosen’ Is Actually Doing to Your Self Worth
The shift that changes everything. There’s a desperate, needy, or insecure version of you whether you are ready to admit it who was waiting. Refreshing his messages. Making yourself smaller. Auditioning for a role in someone else’s life and calling it love. That version of you wasn’t weak. She was just operating from the wrong script. So we shrank. We waited. We confused relief with …
Why Are You Really Having That Baby? (And No, Your Reasons Aren’t as Noble as You Think)
Let me start with the basics. I am a woman. Born a woman. And by biology, that means I came equipped with ovaries and reproductive eggs, patiently waiting for a single sperm to show up after what is, let’s be honest, often a two-minute main sex event.
