It's me, hi! Thank you so much for stopping by. Before you go ahead snooping around you should know a couple of things.

 

This is a disclaimer really for the sake of those who do know me in real life, because some of the stuff here will likely be really dark. Like if you stumbled upon it without knowing me you'd have a really different impression of me than you would if you met me in real life. Which isn't to insinuate either versions of me (online or off-line) are inauthentic. I am choosing to share my life, experiences, thoughts and opinions simply because I want to impart my words of wisdom upon you all.

 

I love loving things and this site is a celebration of that. If you know me in real life you know I will literally do the most. So like I am really excited to talk about things I love here; things that aren't just confined to romantic love. We forget how important it is be well rounded people and not be defined by the boys in our lives (we've all been guilty of it, yes me too). I have previously succumbed to ALL my thoughts and conversations become about the boys I was into at that point in time. Ugh.

 

Thinking back I don't think that was a particularly good use of my time, I am sure my friends that have had to hear about them would agree. I have also been on the other side of it, where I realised a whole lot of my female friendships were based exclusively around conversations around men. It isn't really surprising, that those friendships didn't last or at least have been reduced to acquaintances. But I digress. The point is now I actively want to be a full dimensional human being and talk about the things I like and love that aren't related to the men in my life.

 

I take a lot of pride in being the therapist friend, the makeup artist friend, the book recommendation by tropes friend, the will let you cry on her sofa at 3am friend, the Swiftie friend, the  will exclusively text you in paragraphs friend. I love Taylor Swift. Tales of unrequited love and stories that make me weep. Smut too. Very important. But the books that make my chest heavy before the main characters have even kissed are my favourites.

 

I've always been the therapist friend. I'm not aware how it started, but for as long as I can remember, I was counselling my best friend with her boy problems in year 4, or mediating some petty squabble between others. I also have the most messed-up sleeping schedule, so if you need a pal at 3 a.m. after everyone else has gone to bed, you know you've got one in me.

 

I have always felt deeply. Maybe it is a Libra thing, maybe it is an older daughter in a brown household thing or maybe it is just a me thing. I am not sure, but the point of the matter is whenever someone needs some advice or maybe just to cry out their problems, my couch has always been open for them, with a fluffy blanket on the cold dark winter days, some chocolate and the warmest hug and sometimes some introspective words from my journal <3

 

Sometimes I am really funny. Emphasis on the SOME. Other times I am funny but my friends [do I really even have friends?] don't get my pop culture references. Maybe they aren't cultured enough for that? I don't know my friends are pretty cultured but my interests are very niche. So I am gonna come here dump my thoughts in this little corner of the internet and go back to real life.

Here is a little window into my mind enjoy!

Love Yourself,
