Ugh. The title to this article speaks to an entire chapter of my early 20s. I was the queen of the back and forth, particularly in one quasi-serious relationship. It always starts off so innocent and simple; you grow a relationship, planting seeds of trust and respect, it sprouts into mutual friendship, adoration, and then … Continue reading »
One of my favorite sites, MadameNoire, has an intriguing article that a friend and I recently discussed. The article, 14 Different Types of Relationships You’ll Experience Eventually, lists all of the various types of relationships an individual will have before settling down with “the one”. I’m assuming the author is simply listing the possibilities, and not … Continue reading »
Aloha means hello. Aloha means goodybe. Aloha also means love. I never knew this until I traveled to Hawaii. The last one that is. How can the same word hold such different meanings? Or does it? Hello, Goodbye, Love. Sounds about right, actually. You meet, you fall in love, and you either stay together or … Continue reading »
…..then you ain’t doing something right. That’s how the saying goes right? Or as comedian Katt Williams so hilariously stated, “Feel free to hate on me!” Being that my last blog was about the pure goodness of people, I’m going to try to keep this perspective positive, but I admit it may go left at … Continue reading »

I’m known to “live in my own world” as my friends and family would say, so I subconsciously opt out of people-watching quite often. It’s not that people don’t interest me, they do. Each person’s idiosyncrasies are quite fascinating to discover. … Continue reading »

I want to practice what I preach. Yesterday’s post was near to my heart, and resonated with those around me who can relate. For that, I am grateful. Therefore, I’d like to explore forgiveness further. But, before I go on and on about myself, I want to point out a whirlwind story of forgiveness that … Continue reading »

Yea yea, it’s Valentine’s Day. Great! Or not so great, if you’re one of those people who hates being single. I’ve been single, coupled up, kinda coupled up, dating, bitter, irritated, overjoyed and ambivalent on Valentine’s Day in the past. But since it falls right after my birthday (the best day of the year) I … Continue reading »
There Is No Such Thing As A Fake Person Can I just say that I am loving this article? What I enjoy so much about reading Thought Catalog is the authors’ insight and no-bullshit approach to writing. They literally write down (eloquently and humorously) their organized thoughts. Funny thing is, I relate so closely to many … Continue reading »
