  • hi boos 🫶🏾,
    i really wanted to open up the dialogue in exploring the rawness and honesty of what it looks like to fully embrace all of your singleness. what does that look like when you're not actively dating or engaging in casual encounters? what does it look like as a lover girl who loves to romanticize her own life, but isn't receiving romantic experiences from others in her life?
    anywho, we're back from Arizona safe and sound. I'm so excited to be juicing with my new Nama J2 Cold Pressed Juicer! Prepare to be sick of me, okay? Alsoooo, not this being my first time going to the Farmers Market since living here in Atlanta for like 7 months now LOL.
    The new nails are giviiiiinggg and I love them! 🧚🏾‍♂️💚. Shout out to the girrrls who voted for my new nail set via my Instagram stories. Of course, new Oner Active gym sets means we doing new sh*t in the gym too, lol. I promise the back is gone be ouuuttttt this summer y'all!!
    anywayssss, i hope your week is going amazing! take care all ways, always. enjoy! xo ❣️

    I'm going to respond with what might be an unpopular take. As a single, 30-something-year-old woman, I hear you. It gets lonely and frustrating for sure. However, I would caution against further "experimentation" and focus on rest and an extended fast. Hear me out. In my 20's, my desires were seemingly more intense; but over time, I noticed that the more I reduced stress and prioritized rest, the less anxious I was over those desires and what to do with them. Adding extended fasts into the mix changed everything. That doesn't mean the desires went away. It just means I gained more self-control in this area and a more healthy view of my sexuality. My experience with "experimenting" left me feeling empty (mostly sad and depressed) because what I truly desired was companionship, and self-pleasure didn't give me that. Once I fasted, I was able to connect the dots and decided that "experimenting" wasn't right for me. The only time I ever thought about it was when I was stressed out, tired, or isolated; so my new response became rest - both physical rest (sleep, fasting) and active rest (going for walks, spending time in nature, etc.), plus engaging in more fulfilling outlets (serving others, pursuing passion projects, etc.). Just my thoughts.

      THIS! I wanted to comment about this but wasn't sure how to put it. I think it's that way for most women but people keep saying it's normal, it's normal, it's normal but honestly it leaves you feeling depressed and lonely. I hope she reads this because she's wants connection not just a big O and no amount of romanticizing it will change the low after the high. Your suggestions are great.

      thank you for your comment. i don't feel any feelings of anxiousness about these desires not being met. i've done plenty of fasts from both s*x and mas*ur*ating. when i am feeling in the mood to want to have a big o, from my personal experience, it's not because I am stressed, tired or isolated. believe it or not, since working out more consistently, those desires for big o's have actually skyrocketed. same when i was very consistent with pilates. bottom line, no matter how much one does their best to minimize stress and rest as much as they can there will always be some thought or desire for intimacy (non-inclusive of s*x).
      this also leads me to how touch deprivation is a real thing. fulfilling my passion as a content creator, going to therapy and all these things shouldn't be a substitute for the natural feelings and desires we have as humans. i truly believe that they all should co-exist.
      yes, fasts can be helpful and can be necessary, but i would caution to not define them as a fix all to curb/diminish the honest desires that one has. ❤️

    25 and living alone and single and myyyy goodness. I don't know if I love it or hate it. I love being able to do things for myself, take care of myself, feed myself and just eat and watch what I want when I want. However, sometimes I get into bed and I'm filled with this deep sadness that there's no one next to me and it just EATS at me until I pass out. I'm trying my best to embrace the season by hanging out with my girls, seeing family, taking up an online course, cooking for myself, joining home cell, and all the things and it feels great until it doesn't. IDK. I hope one day I can be 100% okay with being alone like the ladies in the comments.

    29 here and single. I absolutely love and admire yours vulnerability to even talk about something this intimate but yet so real. I find myself still struggling with not enjoying it for my own pleasure but as something as a stress reliever or to put me to sleep. I also don’t look at your page as glorifying living alone and being single. But it has helped me become more comfortable with being alone and learning who I am than going back to past situations and finding the beauty of being alone until you find that one. Keep doing what you do girl. Will always support ❤

As a fellow Scorpio, I definitely understand digging deep into self love and self exploration and self pleasure. It’s almost like I can’t allow myself to get “there”. Thank you for bringing this conversation to the forefront because it definitely needs to be discussed. I wish you much success on your journey of finding out what that looks like for you! ❤️

Not what I planned at all.. you couldn’t pay me to say it was going to turn out like this. Also, dealing with the realization that my 30s were my last chance at motherhood is tough. I had a plan. It did not work. Not settling is a lonely ass road. Looking forward to my 40s I just wanna get the hell out of my 30s👸🏾✌🏾

It's so interesting when I see women cringe and get embarrassed about this topic but are having sex. There is definitely a disconnect.

    heyyyy girlie 👋🏽 new subbie here! this is the second video i’ve watched of yours + all i can say is WOWWWW! can we be besties? lollll nah but this convo is def one of those big ones- especially one that i think we should have more with our homegirls and even the older generation of women. we’re always told to enjoy our single season.. but nobody tells us really HOW to outside of those solo dates and what not. i’m also a wellness content creator and find myself stuck A LOT when it comes to that topic. but, we’re finding our way 💕 with that “big o” convo- a BIG thing to remember is your breathing. what thoughts are you having? what judgements are you placing on yourself? what are your expectations? i think it’s important to discover that especially while abstaining because sometimes another person distracts us from the answers. also try switching up your toys. i watch cocktales and they are really open about these types of convos with women and it’s also pretty damn hilarious. anyways, i hope you find what works for you! this was a beautiful video and i’m looking forward to more relatable content 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

    girl you really opened up and i love it because I am going through the same thing! I think it is amazing that you opened up because people are really afraid to be transparent over common things but it's understandable. Romance can be found everywhere! I also like to talk to my therapist about these things too!

    Okayyyyy Amani! I love your transparency in this vlog. I agree that casual seggs is not the business. Learning your body is the best way to help you form a more intimate connection with yourself. Once your mate comes along he will see you in tune with your body. ❤

    I did not know about the Atlanta farmers market!! I've spent my life going to DeKalb or Buford Hwy, since I'm never willing to tussle with weekend market crowds. I can't wait for warmer weather and more opportunities -- my first spring in Atlanta in 14 years!

    You didn’t ask us,but… some ideas for our mature discussion. Put on the type of night clothing you would wear for someone else. Also maybe a fast from toys. The body gets conditioned to “finishing” a certain way.
