Confessions of a Love Addict is a blog about the journey of learning to love yourself -even when you’re totally single. It’s about keeping hope, gaining confidence, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. It chronicles the life and lessons of a NYC 20-something who is learning to love herself for who she is, single or not, and aims to help other women believe in the beauty of depending on yourself for security and love. It aims to show women that it’s okay to be upset, to be disappointed, to date and have relationships that don’t turn out how we think they should.
And above all, it encourages faith in finding that most perfect relationship that we’ve all waited for. And no, not the one with Prince Charming or Mr. Right or Mr. Sexy Pants.
The relationship that makes you fall in love with yourself. Because it is only then -when you accept yourself for who you are -flaws and imperfections -that you can ever have the love you deserve and dream of having.
So to all the single ladies who hate being single (and it’s okay to admit that) -pack up a pair of great shoes, your favorite lip balm, and take a nice long look in the mirror. Love starts inside of you.
“She packed up her potential and all she had learned,
grabbed a cute pair of shoes,
and headed out to change a few things.”

You have a lovely blog! I have read through several posts and I’m really looking forward to reading more.
The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is make my morning coffee and sit in front of my laptop thoroughly elated to read a new post from you.
I admire your honesty and your eloquent style.

Hey!
First off, your blog on There are men? Great read! Better yet, am on that journey too…of falling in love with myself, and learning to like who I am, without apologies. Thought it was odd to be doing that in my late twenties, but I have never felt better! Way to go gal and keep up the blogs, it’s awesome to see the writing on the wall (even after hearing it over and over) Thumbs up!

I absolutely love this. You ooze confidence, power and eloquence inspiring and uniting other women. I love it! You may want to check out my blog for new book Mr Wrong, “a humorous and insightful exploration into why some women continually attract Mr Wrong and negative relationships and how to set out on a posirive path to “Mr Right.” Here you can find some excerpts, views and opinions from both men and women as well as stories from other women. You may be interested in my latest post “Chapter 2-Start With You.” A lot if what you say he certainly resonates!. I would,love to hear your views. Keep on inspiring and aspiring x
I really loved every word!… And I really agree with learning how to love yourself with “flaws and imperfections” before looking for love outside. Just then you’ll know exactly what you want and deserve. Really inspiring!.. Will definitely come back! :)
(Hope you read some of my writing in http://iwantbaby.com/blog/ !! I’m kinda new in all this… )
Oxytocin. Our feel good drug, released with the big O. I saw a Dear Abby type Q & A asking about “Will I ever meet Mr. Right if I have casual sex with other guys” ?
The answer was no. By having sex with guys the woman does not really like, she is disengaging sex from love, plus spending time with the wrong guys. One has to save sex for the guys you are crazy about and you want to love. Otherwise you teach yourself to not want sex with guys a woman should marry. And you know that won’t fly. This psychologist said to save sex for relationships, making those few who make it that far a lot more special.
