Love, Lust and Life is a memoir and journal in which I share all parts of my life. On LL&L, nothing is off limits or considered taboo. When people constantly try to keep their feelings and thoughts inside, the effects can be tragic: depression, addiction, insanity or suicide. Everyone needs to be able to express their whole selves without self-censorship.
Love, Lust and Life is a blog that I started in August 2008 on Wordpress. At the time, I felt really frustrated with my life and most of my relationships. I used to be an open person, able to talk about most things with most people. I found myself not investing my heart in most of my friendships because I no longer felt respected; later, I stopped opening up to my family because of a perceived lack of acceptance and support. Eventually, I made a conscious effort to not talk to anyone about anything that would leave me feeling vulnerable or criticized. This left me feeling lonely and disconnected.
The initial purpose of the blog was to share the things I have learned in my life with whoever was interested. As I started to write, I discovered that I had things that I needed to share and get off of my chest first; I will use this blog as an opportunity to heal some hurts that are holding me back in life. I decided to have themed days so that I can make sure that I keep the blog balanced and to make it easy to find topics that interest you:
- Spiritual Sundays: scriptures, relationship w/ God, moral and ethics.
- Mental Mondays: mindful awarness and mental health
- Talented Tuesdays: culture, hobbies and entertainment
- Wellness Wednesdays: health, exercise, recipes, and confidence
- Taking Care of Business (TCB) Thursdays: blogging, goal achievement, finance, career and education.
- Freaky Fridays: hot topics, scary or traumatic events and sexual experiences
- Saturday Love: relationships with friends, family and marriage
I hope this sounds interesting and encouraging. And I'm not too proud to beg: please leave comments. I really want to know what is interesting, relatable, boring, or poorly written. If you want to share advice or recieve advice, let me know that as well.
I am looking forward to getting to know you. Thank you.

I know all about feeling frustrated and boxed in. It's quite a journey when you start discovering things about yourself and truths about God. Blessings to you! I look forward to reading your posts.
I'm learning that you have to commit to telling the truth about yourself before you get to know of who your really are. Thank you for reading.
