Sharp as a needle ~ Scathing as a razor blade ~ Welcome to my world.
Sexuality (as a woman) has always been a difficult topic for me to explain. For the longest time, I didn't even know where I stood with myself on the spectrum: one day I liked guys, the other day I liked girls. My sexual preference fluctuated throughout my teenage years, even well into adulthood. It wasn't …

Although the book (and film) came out quite some time ago, To All the Boys I've Loved Before recently came on my radar. I'd watched the film months ago, but for some reason it came back in my mind. No idea why, considering I found the film cute, but breezy (and Noah Centineo isn't that hot)...but perhaps …
Today marks the first day of Pride Month. It is a month where the world celebrates LGBTQ+ people, their history, and their diversity. It is a time of the year where we remember the fight for equality in a heteronormative society, and we celebrate it with numerous Pride parades all over the globe. It's true …
If you were to hear the word "gay," "lesbian," "bisexual," or "queer," then I can safely assume that you have presumptions about what a "typical insert-label here" looks and acts like.

Bonjour! Ah, Paris...the City of Love...it's no surprise then that plenty of travelers-- couples or not-- come to this French capital to experience romance. From the elegant Haussmann architecture to the narrow, cobblestone streets littered with cute cafes and patisseries, there's the opportunity to bask in the city's beauty with a loved one. I'm sure …
Friday night in Paris. Of course, Paris is the love capital for many tourists. Couples, hook-ups, mutual encounters...there's this romantic air to the dense, smog-filled city, but anyone (even the most cynical) acknowledges this. After all, it's not called the "City of Love" for no apparent reason. It was my last night out in town, …

One More Night It’s white wine tonight just as much as you had the same glass (or three) the night we met. It could’ve been mutiny the way we felt for each other sitting by the bar watching beauty grind each other on the dance floor. But I didn’t care, didn’t expect …
Hello! Hope you're having a good Sunday. This week's feature will be a bit different, as it features a list of some of my favorite tracks from American singer Hayley Kiyoko. Also dubbed as "lesbian Jesus," Kiyoko is a great role model for the LGBTQ+ community, as many of her songs features a same-sex story …
...following the aftermath of their kiss... “So…” Hannah started as they were chopping up herbs. They were in the kitchen preparing a gratin to be served as the main dish. “So…” Lydia put down her knife, slightly annoyed at her cousin’s teasing. “What is it, Hannah?” she demanded irritably. “So… Jasmine, I see,” she grinned …
