I’m Still Standing...
I did not sit down to write this. I sat down to breathe. This post is very unexpected and is more of a personal release of energy for me and less of a debatable topic. I began writing before I even knew what the headline would be...I put pen to paper and it just felt right. Halfway through writing the title hit me, “I’m Still Standing”. Those three words hold so much power in my life. This black woman has been on the battlefield from a young age and I will admit that I have s

Domestic Violence On Men In Relationships....
We need to talk about something we rarely make room for. Men, abuse, and the silence that sits heavy between the two. In the past few months, I have been an avid listener to so many stories from men who have been a victim of domestic abuse/domestic violence. Shocking right?! Is there a difference between Domestic Abuse and Domestic Violence? Let's take a look at the meanings. What is Domestic Abuse? Domestic abuse is defined as an incident or a pattern of incidents where beha

Recognising Emotional Growth in Relationships
When I think about emotional growth in relationships, I often reflect on how much my own connections have evolved over time. It’s not always about grand gestures or dramatic changes. Sometimes, it’s the quiet moments, the subtle shifts in understanding and patience, that reveal the deepest growth. Have you ever paused to notice those small but powerful signs in your own relationships? Recognising emotional growth is like tuning into a new frequency - one that brings warmth, r

A Love Letter To Myself
Dear Me, Before you do anything else today, before you pick up everybody else's weight, sit with me for a minute. Just us! I know the past few months have not been easy and I know there have been days where your mind has felt heavier than your body could carry. Days where the weight of responsibility, expectation, disappointment, overthinking, and exhaustion sat quietly on your chest while the world around you kept moving as if nothing was happening. And still… you got up. I

Micromance: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Of Love In The Little Things
Little gestures, but is anyone really present? Remember when love was loud? Roses on a random Tuesday, handwritten letters and poems, and dramatic airport chases like something straight out of a movie. Now? Now it is a TikTok sent at midnight because it made them think of you. A text that says "home safe" after a night out. Your favourite chocolate bar appearing from the corner shop without you ever asking. They call it micromance. The quiet, consistent little ways people sho

Independence or Isolation? When Protecting Your Peace Pushes People Away...
“I’m protecting my peace.” We say it like a full stop. The ultimate relationship disclaimer. End of conversation. For the last week I have been scrolling through Instagram, watching post after post about independence, peace and healing, and something started to niggle at me. Are we actually doing the work here? Are we really healing? Or have we just found a prettier word for hiding? Don’t get me wrong. Boundaries matter, healing is necessary, and apace is sacred. But I have t

A Letter To My Forever Love
I thought I knew everything there was to know about love before I met you. What was I thinking? I was a damn expert in the good, the bad and all the ugliness of a relationship. How silly of me. It has been a while since I posted anything, and yes, I have been writing, but nothing lit a fire in me enough to share it. So I did what I always do when my soul needs speaking for. I let my pen take the lead. I struggled with how to say this without giving away too much of us but her

Are Women Cheating More Than Men in 2022?
Well, What a week!! Let me set the scene for you. We all know the worst nightmare is catching the person you love being disloyal. But the question I put out this week, are women cheating more than men in 2022, left my ears burning and my lips dry. I got chewed up and spat right back out by my fellow male counterparts. Of course I did. The men jumped on it fast and quick to swear blind that women today are 100% more disloyal. We could go back and forth for months debating this

Four Reasons Why A Loving Relationship Is Good For You....
Who is your favourite human? Go on, picture them. The first face that floats into your mind before your eyes are even properly open in the morning. The one you call to share your good news, your silly stories and your daily gossip. Hold that person in your mind, because this one is about them. We move through so many kinds of love in a single day. Our partners, our children, the co-worker who gets us through the shift, even a kind stranger on the commute home. These little mo

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Welcome to My World We all have a story. This one is mine, and it is about to become a home for yours too. My name is Sash, and I have loved writing since before I understood why. At sixteen I read a book called ‘UGLY’ by Constance Briscoe, closed the final page, and thought to myself, one day I am going to write my own. That book is still a dream I am chasing. But I realised I did not have to wait for it to start telling the truth, so here we are. This is where I explore the
