The Narrative of a Newlywed

Does anyone remember (or has read) this little piece I wrote several years ago?

The Narrative of an Early Bloomer

So, up to that point I had written some posts that may not have raised eyebrows but were definitely topics that weren't being discussed in a proper context. Then Early Bloomer was posted and never had I been more scared to publish anything. Thankfully the response was positive and overwhelming and the knowledge that I was not alone in issues regarding my sexuality, the emotional damage that was done due to purity culture, the horrific double standards (within my own family; what a shocker) and the Christian community's blatant disregard for young women who are scared and confused regarding love and intimacy and their own bodies.

A year later I wrote a follow up: The Narrative of a Christian Feminist, which delved deeper into, once again, the double standards for males and single females within the Church. This also received exceptional positive feedback. 

So now we've gotten through the preamble!

H o s p i t a l i t y

After almost a year of marriage I have discovered two certain arts that I never thought that an introvert like me would ever have, but they certainly go hand in hand. Cooking and hospitality. Growing up I hated cooking. I never had the time and patience for it and well...I didn't really have the best of instructors either. However, after I got married, I knew I was going to get over my despair of cooking or else my husband and I were going to starve.
