Hi, I’m Bella.

I care a lot about being able to be yourself.

For me, a good relationship has friendship built into it. I want attraction and romance, but I also want inside jokes, ridiculous conversations, comfortable silence and someone I can genuinely have fun with.

This journal is about that side of dating, plus communication, boundaries, effort and everything I’m still figuring out.

It’s personal reflection, not a set of rules. I’m just writing down the things I want to remember.
