I used to believe in fairytales. I used to believe when Disney said that the couple lived happily ever after, well, then they did. I believed the ending of Pride & Prejudice when Elizabeth is sitting there in front of her newly inherited mansion of a home, blissfully happy with Mr. Darcy (her new husband).… Continue reading No More Fairytales

When A Godly Man Pursues
For the longest time I’ve known that the man I would marry would pursue wholeheartedly. There would be no holding back as he would realize my value and jump through hoops to capture his prize. And for the longest time that did not happen. Even in past relationships, I did not experience what the depths of my heart was… Continue reading When A Godly Man Pursues
Matters of the Heart
His interest took me by surprise, but I’m remaining open. I’m uncharacteristically trying my hand at the less extreme side of thinks.

To My Friend on Her Wedding Day
Dear Tierra, I can’t really remember how we met although I know it was through a mutual friend. I definitely remember when I first saw you I couldn’t take my eyes off of you. You were beautiful. I wondered “wow, that girl is so pretty”. But it wasn’t until we did Amy’s book club and we were… Continue reading To My Friend on Her Wedding Day
Musings on Settling…
I sat across from my friend of 7+ years on her comfortable, homey sofa and tried to ignore the figure sprawled out on the floor at our feet. Her boyfriend, who was intently watching some sort of cartoon (Batman maybe?) on what I assumed to be her laptop, was not even worth conversing with in my opinion.… Continue reading Musings on Settling…
The Perfect Gentleman
Saturday night he was a little late, but it was my fault b/c I kept changing our meeting time. It had been 2 years since we last seen each other and he had been on my heart lately. I knew we needed to connect and hang out so finally I took him up on his offer to take… Continue reading The Perfect Gentleman
When Being Single Teaches You How Amazing You Are
I never dreamt I’d be single this long. In fact, I was engaged with the intention of being married by the tender age of 22. Now I’m 30. I’ve had a good run at the single life. I’ve discovered there is really more to life than having a relationship (who would have thought?). I wouldn’t… Continue reading When Being Single Teaches You How Amazing You Are
