free. at. last.

  I didn’t know that I wasn’t free. Not until tonight. It’s 11 months to the day since my breakup with M, my longest, most significant romantic relationship of my life. In a moment of not-all-togetherness, I texted her. I am heartbroken, I told her. And, no, this is not me asking for you back. I…

A Girlfriend on Each Continent

If I could truly have the life that I wanted, this is what I’d create: a girlfriend on each continent. Obviously, that means I’d live the life of a traveler. Ok, maybe not Antarctica. Well, if Antarctica, then I’d probably only see her once every two to three years (which, if she lives in Antartica,…

Going with Nothing

My sleep pattern has been crazier than you can imagine. Lately, I go to bed around 5am, and I get up sometime. As I don’t have a regular job, it depends on if there is something I have to do. If not, I get up around 12 or 1pm. Which is crazy!!!! Because then the…

Why Broke Men Shouldn’t Date

  This post is for the guys–the broke guys. (You know who you are.) I confess.  I’ve been guilty, myself. As a “creative” type who grew up believing that society should support ME to support IT, I was never very motivated by money. Give me time. Give me freedom. Those were my mantras. Well, that was…

The New Sexy: Women Over 40

I’m 41. Until recently, when a woman over 40 checked out my dating profile, the first thought that popped up in my head was “too old”–and then I quickly moved on. I would literally think, “Why is she checking me out? We’re not even in the same generation.” No lie. I shared this revelation with my friend, Heather, who’s in…
