Self Love in your Native Tongue
During times of true insecurity, you’d call yourself shy. I was so young then, all I could do was disagree in my loud, high pitched voice. I had that American confidence you were so proud to see. Looking back now, I realize it was false. Those clouded judgements on yourself were because you were a…

Missed Connections – Love Nonetheless
Sometimes, when I’m utterly bored, or lacking a particular zest in my own love life, I look for that in others. Like in the “Missed Connections” category on Craigslist. Record and proof of that familiar, fleeting feeling towards a complete stranger. The beauty I find in so many of the entries, is that they’re not…

Although the conversations amongst my female peers weigh heavily with the imbalances of the masculine and feminine, this thing sparked a revelation. A young woman in her 20’s shared her thoughts and perceived blessing to be…

A. Love
My Dearest Love, It only makes sense to refer to you as “Love” in these letters, and maybe even in our waking day. Firstly, because you shared with me once that it is how you see yourself in your mind’s eye. Secondly, because of the romance that you’ve brought into my life. You have not…
