Confessions of a Late Bloomer Part 11 For a long time, I thought love was supposed to feel like butterflies, that quickening, that rush, that tingle in your gut that made it hard to breathe.

First Kiss, Last Straw

Confessions of a Late Bloomer Part 3 I had my first boyfriend as a freshman in high school.

Dating Disappointments: Embracing Rejection

Recently, I went on a date that didn’t quite spark. We gathered to enjoy live music, a backdrop of vibrant energy and rhythm. It was probably one of the most beautiful dates I've ever been on.
