Bold Opinions Bad Decisions
How I went from being single for 6.5 years, to meeting someone off a dating app and forming a successful connection, and everything in between. Timelines are fake. Your 30s are real.
Fuck Dating Apps, Fuck Being Single, Oh Wait
Dating apps are both a blessing and a curse. Being single is both a blessing and a curse. I started my Tiktok four years ago to discuss both, and in the process learned a whole hell of a lot about who I am, why I was single, and how to successfully be single, and embark on a new relationship after being single.
1. Why This, Why Now
While I have talked ad naseum about being single online, my main purpose is to create a community that relates over the shared fact that timelines are fake, we’re all on a different timeline; whatever you’ve experienced, someone else has too; and, sharing stories and experiences helps us all to learn, grow, and feel less alone.
2. Community
I’m starting this as a place to be raw with thoughts about my 30s, getting older, the challenges women face to conform, as well as relatable stories and experiences throughout this journey, and recommendations from what has helped me. I have a podcast [Bold Opinions Bad Decisions] that tackles a lot of these topics, but something about the written medium allows for deeper and more vulnerable discourse. I don’t have to speak on the spot and can let thoughts and ideas flow through me. Also, the written medium allows others to have conversation about these topics.
3. What You Can Expect
I will be posting free content on a weekly, if not daily basis, and open to discussing any of the aforementioned topics about women, aging, getting older, trauma, growth, fertility, abortion, shame, confidence, as well as the experiences I have had with each including my Etsy witch and crystal era.
4. So What Are You Waiting For?
5. What I Need From You
To truly make this a community I need to know what topics you want me to discuss in depth. Nothing is off limits. What, as women, are we scared to address? Scared to acknowledge? Afraid of? Constrained by? What experiences define us? Make us who we are?
