Craving: Acknowledging My Desire for All-Consuming Intimacy

Hello

Last year, 2024, I experienced the love of God and a full range of emotions. Since then, I’ve been a sea of a woman, feeling, analyzing and searching for meaning and just...more. My love life is in shambles, I’m (reluctantly) 2 years abstinent, and I’m in a weird space of both loving and resenting my parents. At 31, these are things I thought I’d already mastered, experienced, seen and felt. But I was soooo wrong. I’m literally just getting started. Day by day, I’m becoming more and more fond of womanhood but its hard. I'm in such a bittersweet space. Anyway, its all so hard to hold in so I decided to create my own little corner of the internet and share it with you. My digital junk journal and semi diary, in the hopes that you see yourself in my words and don't feel so alone. Stay awhile, come bloom with me. Xoxo Alexandria Dominique, the Belle in Bloom
