“We would have broken up anyway,” he said. I can’t recall exactly what prompted the statement; however, I remember feeling confused that it was diametrically opposed to the future plans we had made. Together. I couldn’t deny that there was some truth to what he said… in some ways we were great for each other, in […]

Some people have friends who tell them nice things… I have friends who tell me I’m steadily approaching my ‘expiration date’ (apparently 25!), and I ought to do something about it at my earliest convenience. According to them, expiration refers to limited marital prospects; in their words, “past that age you’re more likely to find […]

One of the things I love about doing the right thing is that it’s not stressful. There’s no second guessing, you don’t question if that right thing is going to have terrible consequences later. You’re free. Doing the wrong thing, well… that’s a whole different story. You never quite know when/how it’ll catch up with you. […]

A few months after the break up I remember having a conversation with this guy. Although I’m probably paraphrasing exactly what he said, I’ll always remember the essence of it because I hadn’t really thought about it that way: Him:*drops some line* Me: To be honest I’d rather get back with my ex than start […]

You never think it’ll happen to you until it does. I became…. a crier. Guys, I have never cried so many times, and for so long in all of my life. Letting go of someone that you’ve known for almost 3 years, and had been in a relationship with for just under 2 was not […]

So I’m no longer in the relationship that sparked all the blog posts in the ‘Relationships’ category. However, this particular sub-category contains blogs written during that relationship. These were actually posted under a different blog that I had at the time: Reflectionships. Reflectionships introduced me to the world of blogging, and sparked a desire in me […]

You know what’s funny? Prior to my last relationship I wasn’t all that bothered about being single. I was single and unbothered. Or at least that’s how I remember it… However, after the break up, I started to feel my singleness more acutely. I hadn’t planned to be single again and I didn’t like it. […]

They say “you can’t miss what you’ve never had”, right? But what if you’re constantly surrounded (real life, TV etc.) by the very thing you desire? You don’t have the luxury of “out of sight, out of mind”… but you do (conveniently) have a boyfriend who is equally as curious, and happy to oblige. To […]

I’ve dreamed about my wedding for as long as I can remember. The specifics have evolved over time, but one thing remains constant – I definitely want to get married one day. God brought something to the forefront of my mind recently that I often forget: I am already married. It’s a truth that applies to […]

At one point or another, you’ve probably been confronted by an angry parent or guardian demanding to know why you’ve done something silly. To which you mistakenly replied ‘because they said so.’ However, such a response probably evoked more anger, and an exaggerated comparison along the lines: ‘if they said jump into a fire would you do […]
