Thank you for finding me…

There are two halves to every whole. Two parts to a personality. Two sides to every story.

We all know how it feels to filter your personality to fit a situation. Professional you versus home life you. First date you versus five years into a romance.

I am no different. When I began this journey, I felt the need to choose which side of me went with my new name. By drawing a line & keeping part of myself separate, I assumed I would be happier or healthier. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

The side of me that I tried to keep locked away would attempt to sneak out, always craving a chance to play, laugh & explore. Compartmentalising this life wasn’t working. I was holding back, & cheating my lovers out of the chance to see me in all my glory.

We all need an opportunity to embrace, indulge & share both sides with someone who is equally open-minded & adventurous. I now aim to create this experience for everyone who steps through my doors.

These qualities still exist as two halves; one cannot exist without the other. Choose which side you meet today, & have the other next week. Alternatively, you don’t have to choose. Why not have moments of both? I excel at reading the energy you bring & melt seamlessly between the two, spontaneously sliding up & down the scale as it suits us.

I only have one request. When we meet, promise that you will bring your genuine whole self. With me is where both halves of you have a chance to shine, in the same way I do now.

I wish I had learned younger – as I’m sure many of you do too – that life is too short not to be yourself.
