Like most women watching Bridgerton with clutched pearls and pink bunnies, I wondered whether such level of visual romanticism was hitting my head either like a dose of ecstasy or fentanyl. To my modern, male friends, shows like Bridgerton led to higher expectations that eventually led to the female death of “relationship” reality. Yet, to me, and …

Now that I’m a dog owner, I hate it when people say men are dogs because, frankly, dogs are incredible. They are generous, loyal, clear in their communication, and unafraid to display their love. I have yet to meet the man who does that. check out my TikTok @daddyrecovery YT/IG: @diandrareviewsitall Read my truth at www.daddyrecovery.com…

To my father, he was just an open deadbeat, but, to me, he was a crushed dream. Any girl, with an abusive father or even ex, looks to movies and tv to find those feelings that never happened for them. We watch Bridgerton to see what it is to have an emotionally vulnerable man be strong, sweet, and careful as much as caring with your body and heart.…

It is always strange to catch a friend or lover talking about you because, rarely, have I caught anyone speaking behind my back, kindly. It makes sense, though. Love is promulgated. You can see when someone genuinely likes another, and you, probably, do not even need to ask. True love will speak its truth. For many years, I was the only one in love…

My father raised me to believe that my safety lied in making men feel safe with my intelligence . I was too smart for them and playing dumb protected me from either their visceral nature or their eventual, physical exit from my life. It was strange to know my father saw me like a game: one he could manipulate like my mother, in terms of turning our…

¨You are obsessed with reciprocity,¨ he declared scarfing down his pizza with no breathe or chew. He was on a diet that he, consistently, broke through junk food binges but made up for with heavier work-outs. He was looking great and feeling so good that he started to put my body down: acting as if I could eat as much as him. Yet, if I did, I would…

I still remember how much he smiled before, suddenly, he grimaced like a man that had eaten too much sugar and felt his stomach, abruptly, rumble. It was as if he became, Icarus, before my sun and just crashed like a Greek Tragedy before me. ¨Something wrong,¨ I asked. ¨Nothing… I … ugh…. I have to text my wife,¨ he said looking at me as if I neede…

Usually, Happy Hours share the same cast of faces and the common guest stars.

Part of the magic of children is how wonderfully ethereal they are, unbeknownst to them. I was a wealth of virtues my father never had or, at least, had lost long before I came into his life. I was sweet and sparingly smart. I had a good sense of humor that even adults enjoyed. I loved to dance, sing, and be friends with as many people possible bas…

When you get a good guy friend, especially straight, it can feel like a miracle. The platonic love is almost richer than the romantic one because it shows you the safety of emotional connecting with your opposite, especially when you have learned how that ¨opposite¨ can be physically and mentally dangerous towards you. Benito was one of my guys fri…

It is kind of trippy to be entering your 30s realizing you never had a home. My 20s was spent battling health issues, traveling the world, and doing concert reviews.

When you define yourself as pain…. You become it. My mother had a lot of pain in her life, especially with my dad but she really did try to do her best and to get to her better, despite him and all. THAT is why I reserve forgiveness for her. My mother made mistakes but my father made graves. He buried people because his soul lived underground, and …

My father gaslit me so much, I cannot even go pass a smokers´ sections anymore. I, literally, should tattoo flammable on my ass. For my father, gaslighting was the Reverse-Uno of psychological abuse and one of his favorite tools. You could not tell him he was bad, if anything, he was just flawed or lost, and you were an asshole for not seeing that.…

Nerdy, fit, and gorgeous in an Aaron Taylor Johnson kind of way, he was the first hot man that I said, ¨You know what I deserve you!¨ He liked my personality, loved my body (even the flabby parts), and thought, somehow, together they equated beauty. It was terrifying and exhilarating. Finally I was getting what I always wanted, and I felt oddly thr…

My father smiled, at me, after 10 years of not seeing each other. I was nervous and excited because what if he was a better human being?

While I never felt it was my fault my dad did not love me, I did feel it was my jo…

When I think of Ursula or Telenovelas Villains with a familial bent, they always end up badly.

In theater, a ¨filler¨ is someone, usually a crew member, who stands in place of a character as the the director and rest of the cast learn and plan the staging and lighting of a scene.
