So I’m sitting here catching up on my readings for school. When I am here alone, I allow my itunes to keep me company. And since I’m the only one who gets to choose the songs, I’m never disappointed by the songs on my playlist that play at random. (if you’re ever curious about...
If you’re single*** and you aren’t choosing to be single, there are several possible reasons for this. What I do here is observe the current dating landscape and trends, examine all the ins and outs, report my findings, analyze, and share my advice or possible solutions if they exist. I’ve been doing this for...

Hello all my Christian lovelies. If you hadn’t noticed by now, I am not a Christian woman. As a matter fact, I don’t identify as a member of any organized religion nor do I subscribe to any religious dogma. Just in case you were wondering, no, I wasn’t raised by wolves. Unlike me,...
