Talking about the matters of the heart is a sore task right now. To be quite honest, if given the choice of writing or not writing about it, I’d choose the latter. Writing about it just drains me of all the other energy that I may need for doing other more practical things. However, I believe my story can help others so here I am — writing. One of the things that I’ve realised the past few days is on the subject of giving one’s heart to someone. Risky business, that it is. But all of us take this risk at some point in our lives, right? I reckon it’ll be best if at least I share my thoughts in the hope that it will help others in the future. Though I know that in love and everything that involves the heart, there’s... [Read more]

“What many people don’t realise is that, should their soulmate change into the perfect ideal required, they both will be seeking different partners! Think about it carefully.

Realising that it has been actually 10 years or so that I’ve been in the whole dating scene has made me come up to one conclusion. I’ve been holding onto little girl notions of what love is all about. “I still often see myself as the same little girl who followed her dad around like it’s the only and most important thing in the world and nothing else mattered.” — Sasha Manuel, SashaManuel.com When I wrote that in the about page of my new photo journal, I didn’t realise... [Read more]

A few days ago, a friend and I got into chatting a bit and he decided to talk to me about trust, communication and relationships. It’s fun to learn that there are men out there who go through this sort of thing and it doesn’t just happen to women.
