With time and after a few tearful phone calls, A and I have reached a stage of calmness, acceptance and positivity. Here’s his recent letter to me (you can read his first one here). As with the previous letter, A has given consent for me to post it on the blog. Dear H, First of…

“She Calls You ‘Casper'” – Guest Blog
*Guest blog* In January, my darling friend wrote a beautiful post about the stories we formulate in our heads with potential partners. Here, he talks about learning what we want from a relationship and getting to grips with ghosts. Recently, I’ve had to come face-to-face with a part of my dating life I didn’t want…
Him and Her
The curve of her stomach The softness of her thighs The intention of her touch The memory of her kiss And the thought of her clit. The bike oil on his calves The hirsuteness of his chest The roughness of his handing The reality of his touch And the thought of her clit. Photo by…
Unravelling
The inevitable has come to fruition, And everything else is tumbling inward at an alarming rate. I’m unravelling. Will screaming help? Not really. Will crying? Temporarily. How will I fill the void you’ll create in your absence? Photo by frank mckenna on Unsplash
Do I Wanna Know?
/Do I wanna know, if this feeling flows both ways?/ Yes, I do want to know. It’s killing me not knowing what’s inside your head. The messages you give off are so conflicting. /Sad to see you go, was sorta hoping that you’d stay…/ We have so much fun when you stay. Please don’t leave….

24 Things I’m Grateful for at 24 Years Old
We had a fun weekend. I’m feeling capable in my job. My friends are fabulous. My family is supportive. I still haven’t cried over you. I haven’t heard from you. How predictable. How telling. The summer is starting to fill up with adventures. Someone is teasing me, giving me hope. False hope? Who cares? My…
A Letter to My Ex
Dear You, The summer was confusing. I missed you and you confessed you still loved me. We nearly met up to see if we could rekindle things. We didn’t meet – thank God. Being friends wasn’t going to happen, was it? At least not yet. And anyway, I was seeing someone (admittedly I wasn’t as…
Casually Falling into Bed Together
I like a guy; we get on really well as friends and have loads in common. We’ve been flirty for a while and he confided in a friend that likes me. We were out a few weeks ago and ended up in bed together. Last weekend we were out in Brighton with friends. He challenged…
The Grey Area Between Love and Breaking Up
Recently, I was talking about my relationship with a friend. She identified “the grey area” between loving your partner and breaking up with them. It’s when you’re not in love with that person anymore, but the thought of having sex with them doesn’t physically repulse you. A perfect summation of my current relationship status. The…
