Better Days

I don’t know if I’ll ever be completely “cured”, but it’s been great to finally have the tools and support I didn’t even know I needed for so long. 

Here are some of the best ideas, tips, and lessons I’ve learned during my visits to the doctor and sessions with my counsellor:

Cool Runnings

I’d never really wanted to experience winter. I’m a tropical island girl, through and through. To illustrate my preconceived opinions about winter, I quote a particular film about Jamaican bobsledders: You mean winter, as in ICE? You mean winter, as in igloos and Eskimos and penguins and ICE? I’m going to take a hot bath, I’m getting cold just thinking about all this ICE.

One Decade

Today marks ten years since my last committed relationship ended. Just three days after a romantic Valentine’s Day date, my last boyfriend and I ended a nearly three-year-long relationship.

“Bo-Bo”

There is a reason why this city has inspired so many artists, books, movies, songs, and stories. Its history is rich, vibrant, passionate, raw, and unashamedly romantic. As much as I initially hesitated to say it, Paris really does live up to the hype.
