I’ve written about red flags before, but I recently realised it is time to write about abuse and how to recognise it. Someone asked me how I choose topics to write about. When it comes to topics like abuse and red flags, I mostly write because I hear horror stories from my girlfriends. I write […]
Adult Friendships – the Struggle is Real
There’s one topic I’ve been talking a lot about in real life and people seem to relate, it’s adult friendships – the struggle is real. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always had one friend I would stick by for most of my life. Someone I would sit with at all of my classes, […]
Letting Go of Timelines
If you’ve spent the first two decades of your life daydreaming about when things will happen in your life, letting go of timelines can be heartbreaking. Finish university by 23, get married by 25, have a first child by 28. Sounds familiar? Perhaps with slight variations, a lot of us have similar timelines. Maybe yours […]
Jackie Hill Perry – Gay Girl Good God Review
Jackie Hill Perry – Gay Girl Good God review is a review I’m a little intimidated to write. The topic and the content of it is controversial in the world where minority has become the loudest. However, I believe the book is an important and insightful read and should be spoken about. What is Controversial […]

Learning How to Set Boundaries
Learning how to set boundaries was one of my key lessons in 2022. I read books on boundaries, I talked to a counsellor about it, and I spoke to my friends about it. I did my best to learn not only how to set boundaries, but also how to implement consequences once those boundaries are […]
Red Flags in Christian Dating
I’ve spoken about red flags in romantic relationships, but as a Christian, I thought it was time to also talk about red flags in Christian dating. Picking a partner is one of the most important decisions we’ll make in life. The person you choose to spend your life with will either support you or bring […]
Red Flags in a Romantic Relationship
It’s time to discuss red flags in a romantic relationship again! I’ve mentioned how to recognise them before and wrote a list of 9 red flags. However, even then I knew that I could go on and on and it was simply too triggering to keep going. Before I start, let’s get one thing straight. […]
Recovering After Sexual Abuse
This isn’t an easy topic, but neither is recovering after sexual abuse. The healing process will take time, effort and ideally outside support, but it is absolutely possible. I’m not writing this from the perspective of a professional. I’m writing it as someone who’s gone through it and felt every emotion that comes with it. […]
Questions to Ask on a First Date
First dates can be really nerve-wracking, so I’ve compiled a list of questions to ask on a first date. I have to be honest, I haven’t dated much. Or, to be even more honest, I’ve gone on dates with two men and both of those turned into serious relationships. But, I learned a lot in […]
