Dating post-divorce, when you really have no idea what a loving, healthy relationship looks like, is a ride. Especially when you've committed to doing it with your eyes open. I have spent the last three years trying to understand what healthy love and self-love is and how to achieve them. It is coming through practicing emotional intelligence, meditation, and through heaps of therapy and self-help reading. Those have given me an understanding of attachment needs, trauma, and the correlations between my childhood and how I act now. Applying that knowledge to what I was doing with men has made for the hilarious, enlightening, depressing, romantic, hopeful, raunchy, and spiritual writings here. This collection of poems and stories embodies self-acceptance, feminism, freedom, body image, a journey to self-love and a whole lot of learning.
