It’s been about seven months since I’ve written my last blog post (I’m so sorry, I don’t know how we got here). Oh yes I know how… I went through a “breakup”, dealt with major anxiety because of grad school, and ended up in a treatment program in order to better manage my depression and …
Shygirl & Dating
So I know it’s been a REALLY long time since I wrote a blog post but that’s just because I haven’t really wanted to sit down and actually write something. But I promised my therapist that I would write a blog post so here it goes… Many of my older blog posts have been on …
Shygirl & Self-Sabotage
In February I wrote one of the hardest blog posts as I detailed my first relationship and how much of an impact that it had on me and unfortunately still has on me (I believe it will get better in time), but I wanted to reflect on how it has affected me… A few years …
Bear with me it’s 2 a.m.
Yes, it’s actually 2 a.m. right now. I was woken up abruptly by a dream that I thought was real which isn’t really surprising as this happens a lot. Lately I’ve been having a lot of anxiety provoking dreams related to past relationships and this one that I just had literally woke me up from …
Was it really just Valentine’s Day?

Ready
I am ready. “Ready for what?”, you may be thinking. I am ready to love and to give my heart to someone. Yes, yes I know this may sound dramatic but this is how ready I am, haha. One of my best friends would always make fun of me and say something like “Erin, you …
… you thought!
We’re not even two weeks into the new year and I already have a new blog post for y’all in the Shygirl & Relationships series. I’ve realized that my writing is the most authentic when I write about things in real time or when I am reflecting on them so here we are… A little …
Can you imagine?
So there’s only one more day left in 2018 and I am emotionally drained. You may ask why I am emotionally drained and the simple answer is, guys. During this time last year I went on a couple of dates with a guy and I didn’t know where it would go but I knew I …
I am enough, even if he doesn’t think so…
As much as I would like to have a “thank u, next” vibe for the past relationships/ and situationships I’ve been in, I’m sorry to tell y’all that I am SO far from that vibe. However, in 2019 I am planning to work on that, but until then I am going to gradually share bits …
