Why am I chronicling my life via the story of my dating disasters and my failed marriage, leading to my journey to my amazing current husband? (May not pass the Bechdel test)
I think your story will be interesting and beautiful to read. :)
Also, when I knew you (back at the DMC in Valdosta), I always thought you were so stylish and pretty. However, I absolutely identify with not being able to see that in yourself until you're older. <3
As my Great Grandmother Eva used to say, “you can’t put an old head on young shoulders.” And others say “youth is wasted on the young.” It’s a shame that when we are young and vibrant we spend so much time thinking we aren’t and being crippled with insecurities. I think people thought I was confident outwardly but I wasn’t. Thank you for the compliment, lovely. 😘 You and L were the cool older girls and seemed so bonded in friendship already. ☺️
A beautiful and vulnerable read, thank you Elaine! Relationship journeys & the personal growth that unfolds within them are so fascinating. Excited to follow along your journey! Also, your grandad sounds like a legend <3
Thanks so much for reading, Lizzie. 🫶🏻 My Grandad was a legend ❤️ (thanks) and I certainly learned a lot from all my dating disasters (with a few successes in there). 🤔☺️😅
And the story begins x
Heh! Thanks for following along, beautiful friend.

Glad you are doing this. I’m excited to read it!
You are a writer, through and through, Elaine! You write from a place of such openness. 💛
Omg! Thanks for reading my post, Evelyn. 🤩 Loved The Hundred Loves of Juliet and can’t wait to work my way through all your books. 😍🫶🏻🥳
