I Didn’t Always Go for Assholes

September 1, 2021September 1, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

First of all, my hubby is the kindest. I'm so blessed to have found him. He has such a sweet heart and is so sensitive. Reminded me of my dad. Does he criticize me more than my dad? Ya! But what can we do. We've been living together for 6 years and raising a kid … Continue reading I Didn’t Always Go for Assholes

In Others, We See Ourselves

August 31, 2021November 28, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ 1 Comment

There is a teaching I learned first in the name of the Ba'al Shem Tov. Then years later I heard it again in the name of another teacher/master of a different faith. The teaching goes like this: When we see faults in others, it is really our own faults we are seeing in them. Like, … Continue reading In Others, We See Ourselves

My Kid, My Calling

August 19, 2021August 22, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

In the summer of 2014, when I decided to stop chasing men and start chasing my dreams of becoming a mom, I committed myself to being the most reliable professional I could be, which for me meant making sure I consistently got to work promptly. My first nutrition job after grad school was in a … Continue reading My Kid, My Calling

I Bleed Melted Crayons

August 16, 2021August 15, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

You shot a dart Through my heart And now I bleed But my blood isn't the viscosity That it seems It's thicker And less quicker It's multi-colored dark Not red alone Ever since you hung up the phone I feel my entire future blown I'm downtrodden, sad Full of despair The things I used to … Continue reading I Bleed Melted Crayons

You Got This!

August 8, 2021August 8, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

“Ok, let’s go somewhere else.” Did that group of four women just leave the area at the very moment I arrived? Holy, shit! My worst fear has finally manifested! And it only took 35 damn years. Of course, my first reaction was to second guess my recent actions...Was it the F bomb I dropped a … Continue reading You Got This!

Projected Intimacy

July 27, 2021July 26, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I challenge I had when dating was that whenever I would share my writings with the guy, I felt closer to them. Even if it turned out they didn't read it in the end, I immediately felt close just by merely sending it there way. Why did I connect to easily? Was my soul reaching … Continue reading Projected Intimacy

Will We

July 27, 2021October 13, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Will we still sense each other when our love is extinguished Will the scent of our love take time to diminish Between lust and love it’s hard to distinguish Maybe the love was real but it wasn’t enough Maybe the love was fake and to that I say “Tough”Cuz I’m broken without you as I … Continue reading Will We
