Grateful for this podcast. Knowing that heartbreak doesn’t “see” color, gender or titles. Grateful for the hearts and vulnerability that are shared with me on this platform.

Dear Self by Billy Chapata - Flowers on The Moon

Have you ever written a letter to yourself?

Hello, I know it’s been awhile!
I have been in a bit of content rut - not knowing what to create and produce for you all.
What is your title? When you hear me say that, do you automatically go to your career title?
I tell a short and funny story I went through in college where a guy loved my title and it made me feel insecure in a way. Are we bound to our career titles? No, we should not be. Let me what your answer of title is or what your thoughts are on this short but sweet episode!

Oh to be young and in love. What makes young love so beautiful? The innocence and pureness of what the thoughts of love are or could be? The feeling of not yet knowing what heartbreak or heartache is? Some people may say that young ones are too young to know what real love is. Maybe they are the ones that do know because they have yet to know the bad side of it. Can young love pan out?
In this letter, Joseph (names have been changed by the request of the writer) fights for this young love to work out. He hopes that soon one day Jolene will see how much they are meant for each other. How he has speculations that this could just be young and unrequited love.

Probably the most random episode to date.

Someone recently told me about Chocolove Cholate and how it comes with a love letter (it’s really a love poem) in all their chocolates. I thought that was the cutest idea, so I bought one to share with you all. Not only is the cholate delicious but the poem is such a unique surprise addition to it. This would be such a cute idea to give to someone on Valentine’s day or any day!

This was not sponsored. I really love chocolate and reading letters/poems!
