When is enough enough? — My predominant feeling is … tired. I’m just tired. Also defeated. The hits just keep on coming, and I’m tired of overcoming them. Sometimes, it feels easier just to stand there and let the blows fall, hoping one will knock me out completely. I’ve always gotten back up after being…

What Your Long History of Toxic Lovers is Trying to Tell You

What if you’ve been thinking about this all wrong? — When someone questions my admittedly terrible dating history, I am tempted to challenge the assumption that I’m the problem. After all, why should I be held accountable for other people’s questionable behavior? …

Perfecting the Art of Letting People Leave Who Don’t Love You

Here’s your hat, what’s your hurry — I’ve always known that I can survive alone. For a little while there, I just didn’t want to.

Are you ready for this? Here’s what really happens … — I love the early morning quiet of a weekend to myself. I’m a single mother. I don’t get a lot of quiet mornings.

The Terrible Price of the Un-Lived Life

I’ve never considered myself fearful. Even as a child, I was borderline reckless with my bravery. There was no tree I was afraid to climb or height I was afraid to go to. If someone told me I couldn’t do something, I was definitely going to try to do…

6 Clear Signs He’s Intimidated by You

“Of course I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in.” ~Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie — The harsh reality of gender inequality is that women are held to a double standard. We are expected to be polite at all times and to smile even when we don’t feel happy to maintain a pleasing countenance. We’re held to the standard of a 1950s housewife while maintaining full…

Are you okay with being his contingency plan? — Let’s be honest: Unless you’re playing the field yourself, you probably don’t want to be someone’s option.
