To Honour and Obey
After the marriage proposal, the happy couple immediately started calling all their friends and family spreading the good news. It did not quite play out that way for me. Picture it.

An opened letter to my almost-boyfriend

Choosing Happiness
Picture it! It’s an early Sunday morning, the quiet humming of the refrigerator is the only sound I can hear, and the scent of strong brew permeated my cozy apartment. I’m sprawled on the couch in my birthday suit while savoring my all-time favorite dark roast coffee with one sugar while twiddling my toes and…
