The love I deserve exists because I exist.

I’m tired of hearing men say that women are asking for too much. All I ask is for what I know I can provide; I only desire to be loved the way I love. Why on earth would I settle for less?
Love is a lost art. Love is a lost art.
I recently had someone invite me to “read togeth I recently had someone invite me to “read together” on a first date and, personally, I thought it was off-putting. A first date should be for getting to know each other.

But I was curious about other people’s opinions, so I asked around and responses were varied… and sometimes shaming. Some people did *not* like that I didn’t go on this date.

So, I thought we should talk about the idea of shaming women for saying no, and how common this has become.

In my opinion, anyone who understands the facts should, without a doubt, be pro-choice. You can’t say you care about life and allow so much suffering to take place. 

Life is so much more than conception. You can’t say you care about life, when that life is confined to embryos, and ignores the lived reality of mothers and children everywhere.

Fitting spirituality into your day-to-day life may be easier than you think. Spirituality doesn’t have to be complicated, it can be as simple as spending time in nature, or taking a few mindful breaths.

How you fit spirituality into your daily life depends on what spirituality means to you.

I wrote this a couple months ago, and it’s only become more accurate 😩

Media literacy is important, as is studying history. If we do not learn from our mistakes, we are doomed to repeat them.

Decided to test out my satirical writing skills wi Decided to test out my satirical writing skills with this one while exploring the much misunderstood concept of sex positivity.

If you’re a woman on dating apps, I’m sure you’ve seen men boasting about being “sex-positive” on their profiles. And if you’re anything like me, you roll your eyes and swipe left immediately. 

It’s not that being sex-positive is a bad thing — it’s actually great. However, the type of men who display this on their profile, likely have little understanding of what it actually means. It’s simply an attempt at pandering to women while announcing their desire for casual sex.

Love is more than commitment. . . Love doesn’t r Love is more than commitment.

Love doesn’t require a label to be true. We spend so much time focusing on where a relationship is going that we forget to be present — to see the relationship for what it truly is.

Love is so much more vast than romance proclaims. If love requires forever, I don’t know if I know love at all.
I often hear the term “trauma bonding” used to I often hear the term “trauma bonding” used to mean bonding over shared trauma, however, that’s not what the term means. Trauma bonding is the emotional bond experienced by the victim in an abusive relationship. It’s the reason why they stay.

It’s incredibly important we use this term correctly as its misuse can perpetrate systems of abuse (such as asking why victims don’t “just leave”) and trivialize the experience of victims.

Our worth lies in so much more. . . So much of wom Our worth lies in so much more.

So much of women’s worth is placed on getting married and having children, so women often end up settling. Sometimes they feel they don’t have the time to wait for the “perfect” man, so they accept what they have only to end up disappointed.

They place more importance on societal expectations than their true desires and then feel like they fail when things don’t live up to expectations. However, there is no one-size-fits-all mould for how to live a fulfilling life.

For some, it could be marrying young and having a family. For others, staying single and focusing on their career. Or even, meeting your soulmate later in life but never marrying or having kids. Or, in the case of this poem, divorcing, taking on the challenges of being a single mother, and getting back into your dream career.

The key to living a fulfilling life is to do what feels right for you, not simply what society expects.
Does free will exist? Or are we just products of o Does free will exist? Or are we just products of our environment?
.
.
I recently took a philosophy course, and one of the main lessons that stood out to me was whether or not we have free will. I actually think the arguments that we don’t were far more compelling.

Our choices are dictated by society, how we were raised, and the past choices we made. Seldom, if ever are our choices completely random, and if they were random they would lose all purpose and meaning.

But if our choices are already determined, does this give us a moral obligation over them? Do we hold responsibility for these predetermined actions?

This is where I believe an element of free will comes into play. I do believe most of our choices are predetermined, and that many people never question this. They never stop and ask themselves, “What if there was another way?” They don’t question societal norms, the way they think, and what they believe. They just take these at face value; they live on autopilot, all their decisions already decided for them.

But what if you stopped and questioned your conditioning? Questioned the way you were raised and all that you’ve been taught. If you broke the causal chain, could you then make different choices?
My newest Substack post is up!! I recently watched My newest Substack post is up!! I recently watched Joker: Folie à Deux and had *many* thoughts. 

This post explores the movie’s themes and how they relate to men today. Through issues of class, patriarchy, and toxic masculinity, we cover how men become like Joker and what can be done about it.

Deep down, we’re all the same. . . So many of us Deep down, we’re all the same.
.
.
So many of us are afraid to truly be known; we’re afraid of being hurt by those closest to us. So, we put up our defences, we shut people out. But deep down, all we really want is to let people in. We want to be known, as much as it terrifies us, and that risk of being hurt is always worth it. 

If we never let people in, we never really live. Connection is what binds us, and gives true meaning to what it is to be alive.

I’m so sorry to all of you who live in the States. I was watching from Canada, hoping for a better outcome. Just know that this fight isn’t over, there’s always work to be done and this election just showed us exactly how much. Love is always the answer. This hatred will only get them so far.
Some crimes never serve time. . . This poem stemme Some crimes never serve time.
.
.
This poem stemmed from the thought that many emotional abusers never face repercussions for their actions. Especially when the abuse takes place outside of marriage. With no legal bounds in place, people can get away with a lot. Physical abuse is easier to prove, but emotional abuse is simply your word against theirs. 

There aren’t any laws in place that protect people from this type of abuse. It allows monsters to walk among us, and as long as they do no physical harm, there’s nothing we can do to stop them.
