About

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.”

    Wow. I really really like your blog design. I’ll get around to reading your first two posts later (only had time to read the most recent today) but I’m looking forward to hearing about your adventures!
    Have a look at my blog if you get a chance (it’s fairly new as well) and I’m going to add yours to my blogroll if that’s okay.

    How did I not know about your website??? We’re living parallel lives (only I’m the suburban housewife version of you!) Can’t wait to read more of your blog!

    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.

    Thanks for being a part of my morning routine.

    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!
