Where It All Started…

My story is pretty typical.

I earned a degree I never used. I was unhappily married, then I was divorced and unhappily dating. I traded a job I hated for another job I hated. I was treading water, just trying to survive, finding no joy anywhere I looked. I was wasting my life. Up and down, back and forth, but always unhappy. This slowly made me into a pretty bitter bitch. And all I ever heard was…

When are you gonna get married?

Why are you still single?

Don’t you want kids?

Oh, don’t worry. It could still happen.

The thing is - I didn’t want it to happen.

I didn’t want to get remarried, have kids, or be stuck working a trash job to afford a 30 year home loan. I wanted to sell all my shit, burn my fucking house down, and fake my own death.

So one day I said fuck it. I quit my corporate job to work part-time, started traveling the world alone, and began my quest to find the things that really make me want to live again.

I am still finding my footing, dating total dipshits, meeting the weirdest people, and making some epic mistakes along the way, but I hope you enjoy reading about my adventures, from raunchy and wild to heartfelt and honest, and maybe it inspires you to change your narrative too.

XOXO,
