Christina Vue
Hi, I am Christina Vue and by no means a relationship expert or do I claim to be one. What I do know about relationships is that they can be the best or worst things. I am so thankful for my friendships. I have amazing friends and they are part the reason I was able to survive my last relationship. The bond with my siblings and especially, my sister, Francesca, is why I didn’t disappear into depression or self-loathing. Yes, my last relationship messed me up, but I am here today to say that everything will be ok.
Francesca and I decided to start this blog because we want to share our experiences with others. We were fortunate enough to be born as sisters and so when we both went through breakups at the same time, we were there for each other. There were countless nights where we would talk about our past relationships, the struggles we continued to have, and our fears of the future. In my sister, I found someone who truly could relate to my heartache and understood me in ways that others could not. We were both broken.
As you will learn, our experiences were different but the lasting effects of our past relationships created this deep understanding of one another. We hope that if you have experienced trauma in your relationships that you will find our blog as a safe place where you can reach out to us and know that you are not alone.
Over the last couple of years, I started dating again which is a huge step for me. At first it was just to make sure I wouldn’t freak out, which of course I did. This year I have been going through a lot of changes in my life. My grandma passed and I became unemployed all within a couple months of each other. The crazy part of me decided I would try to date again and I continue to push myself. What I’ve learned in this short amount of time is that I do want to be in a committed relationship and that is scary for me to say.
I hope that you continue to read our blog posts and find some comfort in them. We understand that our experiences may be different, but those feelings afterward can be the same. I was lucky to have someone so close to me that could relate and help me navigate my way back to sanity. I hope that our blog can help people who feel misunderstood.

Relationships are never easy and sometimes they can make you feel like you are crazy. But without them you can’t grow and become the best version of yourself. Whether you are struggling to end a relationship or trying to survive a break up or opening yourself up to dating again I have been there. Have you ever felt like everyone around of you is sick and tired of hearing about your relationship issues? Have you ever felt alone, like no one could possibly understand what you are going through? I’m here to tell you that you are not alone and you don’t have to be.
In my blog posts you will read about my holistic take on life and relationships as well as my personal insight on the lessons I learned along the way to help me move past heartbreak. Through this blog my hope is that we all learn from each other and use our past and present relationship setbacks and triumphs to grow together.
I’ll skip all the pleasantries and get to the point. Who am I? Well, my name is Francesca Vue. I am a loving and compassionate sister and friend. I consider myself spiritual but not quite religious.
When I care for people, I care deeply. I’m not the type of person who would ever wish something bad or harmful on anyone. I am considerate and tend to always think about how my actions impact others before myself. Sometimes I can be overly sensitive because I’m an emotionally driven person. I do things based off how I feel versus what I think, and I have no apologies about that.
Family is extremely important to me. I’m the fourth child of five children. My siblings are a large part of the reason why I have survived thirty-one years of life. They have picked me up when I was at my lowest and I have picked them up when they have been at theirs. I wouldn’t give them up for anyone.
I’m going to give a special shout out to my sister, Christina, who is also going to be blogging on this site with me. I moved in with her over six years ago when we both were going through significant relationship break ups. We didn’t realize it at the time but needed each other. The end of my relationship marked a long journey of true reflection and healing and there definitely were really dark times on that road. I wouldn’t have navigated my way out of the darkness without her.
I am inviting everyone who cared enough to read this to take a peak into my continuing journey to becoming the best version of myself. There have been and will be bumps on the road, failures and successes, and good and bad days. Also, I want to hear about your journey so please feel free to share thoughts and stories of your own with me.
