I trusted you to take good care of the heart I was guarding. I trusted you to love me and not hurt me the way others have. I trusted you to prove me wrong about everything I thought I knew about love. But you failed. You couldn’t reach my expectations. But you didn’t give up […] More
Sometimes for you, a simple hug speak louder than words. You actually hate when random people touch you. You can’t stand people being close to you on the train. It feels gross. But you’re crazy affectionate to the ones you love. You show all kinds of affection only to people you’re attracted to and can trust because […] More
When it comes to conversations about religion, my story is simple. I used to be religious about Jesus until I found a relationship with Him. It sounds strange because it is strange, but it’s the truth. I grew up going to Catholic school, wore the uniform, said the ‘Our Father’ prayer every morning, and had […] More
People who meet me for the first time often think I’m either cold hearted or heartless and I could understand why because I’m not the most expressive person. I barely talk a lot about the personal things and I’m socially selective when it comes to making new friends. And when it comes to dating, it […] More
We tend to feel older than we are. Aquarians are usually labeled outsiders for their outside-of-the-box way of thinking. Most of us have grown up without friends and have experienced bullying.

We all know love isn’t something you feel, it’s something you do. Love is an action word, a choice to stay through all the hardships and pleasures. If you depend only on your feelings to know whether or not you’re in love with someone, you won’t be in love for very long. It’s pretty much […] More
I don’t know how to message or text at the right times, I don’t know how to seem like I’m interested but not really at the same time. I don’t know whether or not I’m being clingy, and I certainly don’t know how to have the right conversation on a date e.g. what to say, […] More
When it comes to a relationship, there are three things that truly hold it together: communication, love, and commitment. It’s easy to say that the most important thing out of these three is commitment because trust is something we really value. Commitment is foundation. It’s what reassures us that the one we love is here […] More
With all the negativity in the world, it’s hard not to be a debbie downer. If you’re a millennial 20-something year old, you probably take a look at your life daily and go, wow, this is sad. Your social life is netflix, your dating life is a series of unsolved mysteries, you're kind of a […] More
Though divorce can be a traumatic experience, it can change you for the better: I’m more reflective about myself. When you go through divorce, you go through many changes from moving to a new home to having new step relatives. They change you in a way that you’ve never known before. Which is why I […] More
Ludus is one of the Greek words for love but it doesn’t actually mean love. To be a ludus lover is to not take love too seriously. To love without a sense of commitment: They act like they’re committed to things…but they barely go through with it and that also goes for your relationship. They’re […] More
“Oh screw beautiful, I’m brilliant! You wanna appease me, compliment my brain!” – Cristina Yang The older I get, the more I realize beauty is fleeting. The more someone calls me beautiful, the more it no longer has meaning. Because I’m more than just my beauty. I’m more than my selfies and the likes on […] More
