Brené Brown said, “When we deny our emotion, it owns us.” Do we still feel like ourselves in the deepest states of our vulnerability?

Do you ever have those moments that remind you that you are so shamelessly a woman?

November 7th. 2023 - My great grandpa Eloy passed away at 96 years old.

I’ve seen a lot of friendships and relationships play out in my lifetime, both my own and the people around me.

These past few weeks have felt like I was on cruise control for the entirety of it. Running at a steady 60 mph, on a straight, endless road that leads to somewhere bleak. Unknown and unsure. I don't know if some planet was in retrograde or what, but seriously, life kicked my ass. It was the day of the eclipse that everything seemed to turn around.

Let me preface by saying this: open relationships are not for the weak, or the monogamy dreamers.

The weather is changing, and I can feel a breeze. Something I forgot would feel so good. The breeze always comes when you least expect it.

For the past couple nights, I have been sleeping like a goddamn baby. Our new apartment has been so kind to us, and my boyfriend and I are acclimating well. We love the life we are building here. But last night was the first night in the one week we’ve been here that I was up all night, tossing and turning. I dreamt he had cheated on me.

Allow me to set the scene. I was sitting at my desk, at my job, like one does, high pony intact.

In approximately 11 days, my boyfriend and I will be living in a new apartment together.

Today I have an interesting topic to chat about. It’s not something I talk about often, but it is something that crosses my mind every now and then. Do I want kids?

I want to introduce you to the online community Austin Music Love, and the person behind it, John Filippone.

So I'm starting this segment here that I'll do once a month called “You asked, I Answered!” where I respond to anonymous written submissions.

Warning!! Spoilers Ahead!!

On Saturday, July 22nd, Elie Slater performed live for the very first time at Ϋomme Studios in Downtown Austin. Here was the line-up for the night:

I came out to my family when I was 16 years old as bisexual. I was lucky enough to be accepted the way I was, with open arms, and inevitably, answered a lot of questions.

I wanted to share some of my poetry & prose from the deepest pages of my journal.

Women make up over half the human population, so why is it that in most cases, especially in the corporate world, are we practically forced to work through our bodies constant changes?

Lately, there’s been a lot of things changing, what feels like very rapidly. I have lost track of time again, and that scares me. Things and people around me are growing & aging, in time that's only passing.

I don't care what anyone says, it is every single girl's deepest desire to just be unconditionally loved by someone else. Someone who really knows you, and the things that keep your heart beating. Someone who loves your flaws and holds them in their hands.
