Introduction

I want this blog to be authentic, honest, raw and relatable. I was stuck on writing the “About Me” section and truthfully, I revised it five times before I convinced myself that I would finally stop obsessing about it! I just couldn’t find the right words to say.

I decided to lay it all out there, completely feeling vulnerable. I wanted to be as transparent as possible so I hope that this was accomplished.

Welcome!

Let me give you a tour…

I wanted to share some entertaining materials to read and watch. There’s Netflix pick of the month and two books that helped me figure people out by studying their thoughts and how the brain process differs from male to female. These materials definitely helped me understand others and myself. I don’t kow what's wrong with me but I live for these things! I am so intrigued by the brain and its uncontainable, inexplicable, intricate, elaborate filtering system of information and how each is so unique and special. It's just mind boggling to me!

I also have two special Q&A features since I don’t claim to be an expert or anything, I made sure that collaborating with people was A MUST! Every month I will feature an eligible bachelor in my #MCM column which stands for Man Crush of the Month, introducing male models, actors, athletes, fitness icons, etc. I wanted this to be as honest as possible; I want these featured men to not tell us things we want to hear! Think of it as having an older brother or male best friend giving you love advice in order to get the male prespective. I know that most of us aren't lucky enough to have these sources so if you're one of those, I specifically had you in mind!

Feel free to tag your #MCM as #ManCrushOfTheMonth on instagram and I will have my people call their people and hopefully make it happen! ;)

Another Q&A section is specifically reserved for professional love, life and relationship coaches and authors only. This is probably what I’m mostly excited about because of all the knowledge that we can all learn together from these features. I'm super excited!

I have been writing poems and some other materials over the years and I will share some of those too! Next month’s episode is actually written by the #MCM himself. A supermodel from Los Angeles, who happens to be a poet as well. You’re going to have to tune in to see for yourself.

On this month’s blog I’m sharing my “Travel Bucket List”. Some I’ve already seen and done. If your anniversary is coming up, maybe you can steal some ideas for your perfect getaway. You're welcome! :)

Writing is my outlet, my therapy, and my escape from this busy world. These are just my thoughts said out loud. I’m naturally inquisive so I figured - why not share this information to the world? Someone else may benefit from them, maybe save you from a heartache and provide you some clarification. In reality, if “How To’s” really worked, why haven’t we figured out relationships? Why is the divorce rate so high in the U.S.? Why are so many people unhappy in their relationships? Why do we have issues with relating, infidelity and abandonment? Truth is, we all experience these feelings regardless of sex, color, proffession, culture background, social status, etc.

Truth is, life is not black and white. Some nights are blue. Sometimes pain is sweet. Sometimes you feel alone in the arms of the one you love. Sometimes you realize a little too late. Sometimes the rainbow appears in the absence of rain. Sometimes life just fucking happens without apologies. But life, my friend, is sweeter when shared with another soul. Someone you love, someone you hate, someone you hate to love or love to hate. Here's the catch, you have to be able to "RELATE" (Hence, "RELATIONSHIP). You have to be able to tell your partner that she/he gets on your nerves without offending them. Tell them that you love them regardless. Tell them that you will figure it out. Tell them that he/she is worth the sacrifice and vice versa. Tell them that you're sorry. Tell them that they are forgiven. Tell them that you can make each other better. Somehow, the root word of "RELATIONSHIIP" is simply forgotten, then people throw their own broken meaning in the mix, confusing the hell out of each other.

This is my platform to connect with people and why do I choose love, you ask? It's simply because I love “LOVE”! It’s so mysterious, so powerful that it can provoke life and death (sad but true). It’s a double-edged sword. It’s something you can’t put a price tag on (temporarily, sure! Maybe), It’s crazy; it can drive you nuts. It’s reciprocal. It gives hope. I can go on and on about it, but honestly – no words would ever be enough to describe it.

For now, we’ll let it be.

This Thing Called Love.
