Since we were little girls, we’ve been taught to dream of happily ever after. We play house and hope to live out the fantasies we have about ourselves trying on our dream dresses, saying “I do” in front of our friends and family, and going on to live our fairy tale with the love of…
I’ve been in three relationships my entire life. The first one being my high school sweetheart, who wasn’t a sweetheart at all. We were just two very young kids who did indeed love each other, but didn’t know how to do it properly. My next relationship three years later, although premature, was with who…
As Christina revealed to all of us last week, she’s gone through some drastic changes in her personal life over the past month or so. I’ve been here to personally witness all of the transitions that she’s made going from an LA girl running her business, to moving her life to Houston to build a relationship,…
I want to begin by saying, it is not your responsibility to fix anyone. Not your boyfriend, or best friend, or mother. When it comes to those we care for, many of us will bend to the point of breaking in order to fix a problem that was never ours to mend. I don’t…
I have few friends for good reason. I’m not opposed to making new ones, nor do I necessarily feel like I need to. My relationships are always built with Quality > Quantity in mind. I don’t require much from my friends other than for them to be who they are because the choice of friendship…
If energy is contagious and we are continuously giving and receiving it, what would you be OK catching? I was once involved with someone that I adored for the wrong reasons. I desired to have him in my life, yet our interaction made me constantly question why. He meant no intentional harm, but there was…
“I would really like to see a post on your take on “sugar daddies” or just the overall taking money from men. Do you think this is something that should be shunned upon? What’s your view on the quote “you have to pay to play”? I myself am a hardworking female but I don’t mind…
I have a confession. I, Courtney.. Am a very cutthroat person. I have a very difficult time tolerating anything outside of what I don’t want to deal with. I’ve accepted that regardless of who I choose to be with, I will have to deal with things I don’t like, things that annoy me and maybe…
When I created The B Werd, I did it solely with women in mind. I craved a platform where women like me could unapologetically express themselves, what they stand for and what they desire out of life and I hope I’m doing a good job with that so far. But, every time a male reader…
Since I was a child I’ve had the same characteristics, confident, demanding, witty, persuasive – a dominant personality for sure. I figured out how to get the things I wanted a long time ago and my mom will vouch for that. I had a vision for how I wanted my life to be, and that’s…
I was scrolling down my Facebook feed before bed (a useless guilty please of mine) and stumbled across a video clip of Kevin Gates being interviewed. Now Kevin Gates is without a doubt a product of his environment, but he’s also proven to be very aware of societal issues as well as seemingly intelligent. He…
For those of you who know me, you’ll know that I’m a very independent thinker. I don’t want anyone telling me how to think, why I should be thinking that way, or why it’s the right thing to think. I’m very much so an Alpha female with an A-type personality, so I rarely budge. It has…
I saw a quote on Instagram (where some of my greatest thoughts are provoked LOL) that read “girls always trying to rush you into a serious relationship like we didn’t just meet in 2002” and I won’t lie, it got a good laugh out of me. But realistically, it’s not very funny. There’s actually nothing…
A couple of months ago I was having drinks after work with some girlfriends when we were approached by an older gentleman making small talk. He goes on to ask us what we do – me, working in PR, my friend working in the surgical field and my other friend working in nonprofits. Respectfully, he’s…
I was recently scrolling through my bookmarked articles and ran across one I’ve had saved for years called “Fuck Yes or No” by Mark Manson. In this post, he talks about a gray area that occurs in most early stages of dating where feelings and direction are unclear or one person is much more interested…
