I Almost Forgot That’s Not Love
There’s a unique kind of heartbreak that comes not from fighting, cheating, or even falling out of love—but from feeling invisible in the very relationship you call home.

The Rules of Poly Relationships
Polyamory is often described as “loving more than one person with the full knowledge and consent of everyone involved.” But that simple definition barely scratches the surface of what it takes to build healthy, sustainable poly relationships.

The Quiet Sacrifices No One Sees
There’s no manual for this kind of love. No checklist. No performance review. No paycheck. No clock to punch out from. Just the quiet, constant ticking of your child’s needs, and your own slowly fading voice in the background.

eHarmony vs OurTime
At 48, reentering the dating scene felt more like a brave expedition than a leisurely stroll. After nearly two decades of marriage and a few years of self-rebuilding, I found myself sitting in front of my laptop googling, “best dating sites for over 40.” That’s how I stumbled across eHarmony and OurTime—two platforms that cater to people like me but in vastly different ways. I’ve now tried both, and here’s everything I wish I’d known from the start.

The Weight of Generosity
I never imagined that one day, I would become the safety net for everyone I love. As a little girl growing up in poverty, I dreamed of escaping scarcity—not becoming the person everyone leaned on once I did.

What Women Actually Look for in Marriage Material
(Spoiler: It’s not abs or an Instagrammable smile) We’ve all heard it before: “He’s tall, dark, and handsome!” as if that’s some kind of cosmic recipe for a lifetime of bliss. As if the mere combination of melanin, bone structure, and gym membership dues can hold together a mortgage, two kids, and a joint Netflix account without someone eventually crying into their wine. (Hint: It’s usually the woman.)

When a Gift Comes with Strings Attached
There’s something magical about receiving a gift. The flutter of excitement, the feel of shiny newness in your hands, the sense that someone thought of you and wanted to make you smile. It’s one of the oldest love languages in the world: the act of giving.

Empowerment or Exploitation?
When I first stumbled into the world of financial domination—or findom, as it’s affectionately and sometimes controversially called—I was enthralled. Here was a world where women could wield power, demand tribute, and build empires from their personalities alone. It felt empowering, radical even. But as I quickly learned, not everything marketed as “empowerment” in this space is built with good intentions.

Dear Girls Who Just Turned 18: Don’t Rush to Be Sexy Online
I know, I know—you’re finally 18. The floodgates are open. You can legally buy that skimpy lingerie from that ad you’ve been saving, set your Twitter bio to “18+ 🔥,” and open an OnlyFans account with a swipe and a selfie. You’re technically an adult. No more waiting, no more blurred-out Instagram stories. Your DMs are suddenly full of people promising “easy money” or “content collabs.” And maybe your friends are doing it too—posing, monetizing, blowing up, and raking in cash for looking hot on the internet.

Findom Is Not a Side Hustle
Every so often, someone stumbles into the world of financial domination while looking for a quick buck. Maybe it was a viral TikTok that glamorized being a “cash-draining goddess,” or a tweet thread boasting about a $300 tribute from a “wallet with a pulse.” Sounds easy, right? Just slap on some red lipstick, post a few thirst traps, and the money starts rolling in?

What It’s Really Like to Date a Man Twice Your Age
When I first told my friends I was dating someone older, they assumed he was ten years older—fifteen at most. Then I said it: “He’s 52.”

I Married the Rich Man. My Sister Married for Love.
My mom always said, “Security first, love later—if it ever comes at all.” She’d say it with the certainty of someone who had learned the hard way. And I, being the obedient daughter who watched her trade her dreams for survival, took it to heart. She’d been married to my father—an emotionally absent man who, while not rich, had “enough” to put food on the table and keep her dependent.
