Whether you're solitary by choice or simply unlucky in love, being single is complicated.
P for Pregnant
Hello, and welcome. I haven't had the easiest life. 4 years Ago I was almost murdered. I have done a LOT of work to get to where I am today. I have an 8 year old son who is my absolute world. Everything I have done in my life has been so I can be there for him. So I can provide for him the things he needs to develop into a strong healthy young man inside and out. So let me just say that being Single and Pregnant was not by choice.

“THAT HOE OVER THERE”
There was a girl, and we’ll call her “Kim”.... Kim, like most twenty something year olds wanted a boyfriend, like she really, really wanted a boyfriend and being in a relationship that resembled an Instagram post with the caption “COUPLE GOALS” underneath, seemed to motivate most of Kim’s actions within her everyday life .

The rush chasing someone brings you
Let me say this in the beginning, the chase I am talking about here is romantic. The majority of the time people tend to chase someone out of pure infatuation. I am sure, a lot of people will disagree with me here, but hear me out.

The Psychology Behind Successful Attraction
Do you ever wonder how someone starts a relationship with somebody that is less attractive than them? Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking how a mismatched couple got together, or maybe you’ve wondered why someone with model looks doesn’t always date a person with similar looks.

The Glass Wall
Everyday I trudge to work past a window shielding one slice of chocolate cake from the world. I am always dirty, tired, and overburdened by equipment, but the slice of cake reminds me of a haven somewhere lush and green. The glass window is smudged at the level of a child’s face and hands, and the cake sits atop a crystal cake platter with a long neck so that every side of the slice but the back is visible.

Single Life
What does being single mean to you? Speaking for myself, it has definitely shifted over the years. Years of searching for “the one”. As if that is what life is all about. It was my number one goal above anything else whether I wanted to admit it or not. I’m a romantic at heart, that’s for sure. The idea of “one true love” or finding my “soulmate” or my “twin flame” or whatever you want to call it, was like a dream to me. I felt as if I were to find my person that everything else would fall into place. I guess at the end of the day it falls under the cliché of you have to be full on your own before you’ll be truly ready to love someone else. I’ve always known that and it wasn’t like I was necessarily looking for someone to complete me but subconsciously I was convinced that once I found true love then everything else would just work out. Almost like that was the first step. And maybe you can blame it on societal pressure, the town I grew up in, the way I was raised, yada yada, but all I can hold account for is me. Our perceptions are our own responsibility, It takes work. Deep, ugly, unattractive inner work to become aware of these patterns and the space they are taking up in our lives and souls.
