F^ck the Three loves
Over our course of life, we come into contact with many people. All of which have a purpose. Some more important then others. Some are meant to teach us lessons and some are just meant to come into our lives for a good laugh. Over the course of our lives we have many relationships as well. Some will hurt us, some won't. Some will make us happy and some will make us crazy. Sometimes we'll even fall in love with people. With that being said there are 3 loves that could happen over the course of our lives each with a special meaning and purpose.

F*ck Growing Up
Growing up is one of the things we all have to do unfortunately. We all have to go out in the real world and somehow succeed. We have to somehow make a life for ourselves. We have to somehow go out in the world and put all the things that we learned in school into context. We have to leave the comforts of our saftey net and go out in the real world. This can be equal parts exciting and terrifying. It can be exciting because you get to get out of your parents house and have some independence. There are alot of exciting parts to growing up. But as there are exciting parts there are also terrifying parts. And that's what nobody tells you. They don't tell you that you have to figure it out on your own. They don't tell you that school didn't prepare for the real world. School just taught you math,science and all that. They don't teach you how to live in the world. They give you skills for a job and that's it really.

Open Letter to Anyone with Panic Disorder.
I'd like to start off by saying this to anyone with Panic Disorder: I hear you. I have Panic Disorder myself. I've woken up in the middle of the night fearing for my life. I've freaked out while driving, eating, showering and doing other basic activities. This like all other Mental Illnesses are invisible. It's not a cold, you can't tell someone has it. You can't just tell someone to rest for a week and hope they feel better. It's a daily battle. It involves adjusting your life, making it as unstressful as possible, and you still have them sometimes. Do people realize how hard it is to simply survive with a Mental Illness? Those that have one do, but those that don't have no idea. I wouldn't expect them to. I wouldn't want them to either. I bet we wish they could help us, I bet we wish they knew what to say and how to make us feel better.

F*ck Patience
I will be the first to admit I'm the most impatient person probably to walk planet earth. While I like to joke about being the most impatient person I've ever met. I'm coming to realize that being patient is actually sometimes a good thing. And as much as I hate waiting for things; (Especially food) I'm learning that maybe I need to be more patient. I'd like to take you back a little bit to a few years ago when I became single. I was absolutley broken and I couldn't see an end to the pain in sight. While it was the BEST thing for me to end that relationship I was still impatient about the pain ending.

Is Monogamy Natural?
We've been taught from birth that out in the world is that one special person who we're going to spend our life with. We've been taught that they're going to be our best friend, partner in life and someone who will love us until death do us part. We've been taught that they'll be everything to us and vice versa. Sounds absolutely lovely doesn't it? Having one person to love and cherish you all the years of your life. Having a best friend you can confide in when things get rough. All of that sounds amazing. While that could be the case for some people. They may in fact find that one special human and they may be perfectly content. That's great!

F*ck the Five Stages of a Breakup
Let me start by saying Breakups suck. There really is no other word to describe them. They hurt and they will for a long time. I cannot tell you how long it will hurt for nor can I tell you when you'll feel better. But what I can tell you is that you'll have to go through what is known as the Five Stages of a Breakup. They suck. But it's necessary. You have to go through each one. Why? Because they all teach you something different. And in the end you feel whole again. So what are these five stages?

F%ck Giving Up
Giving up is something we've all struggled with at some point. Whether it's a job, a person or even a relationship. Whatever it is we've all struggled with it. I know I have. Why do we want to give up? Is it because we're impatient? Is it because we're being held back by someone or something. Or are we just scared? What I mean by that is that we all have challenges in life to tackle and things that will shake us up. We have to go through things that will make us stronger. When things get hard we sometimes get tempted to give up. We sometimes want to just forget it because we expect things to be simple and a clear straight forward path. But that's not life. Life is not a straight forward path. Life has valleys and hills. Things do not happen in a streamline. We expect things to just happen without challenges and setbacks. That's not realistic.

F*ck the Rules
Rules are everywhere huh? It seems like there are rules about everything. Rules about how we should dress,act, eat. You name it there is probably a rule about it. Rules have there place in the world. But when it comes to certain things like how we dress, eat, love, all that stuff; frankly rules should be done away with. My personal philosophy is that as long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else go for it. Do whatever makes you happy. Do whatever you're passionate about and whatever motivates you to be better in all areas of your life.

Sorry Texas
Dear Texas, When I heard about what happened I got very sad and my heart broke. I cannot imagine how you feel. I'm not sure I want to know honestly. But I do know this. I know that things need to change for real, I know that we need to keep people safe. I know this isn't funny and never was. I know that people need to do something to make sure this never happens again. I'm so sorry that this keeps happening in the world. I would never want to raise kids in a world like this. I'm so sorry to all the kids who have to deal with this and be scared of going to school. School is supposed to be fun and you're supposed to play with your friends and make fun memories. Not be scared for your life. I cannot understand why someone would think that terrorizing a school would be okay. I cannot understand why someone would think that terrorizing anywhere is okay.

F%ck Mental Health
Mental Health is just as important as Physical Health. It should not have a negative connontation to it. As someone with High Functioning Anxiety, Depression, Panic Disorder and complex PTSD. I can certainly attest to the struggle of Mental Illness. Those with Mental Illnesses are not broken, disabled or unworthy of a happy life. I'd like to pull back the curtain on what it's like to live everyday with Mental Illnesses. There are so many things we have to cope with everyday. Let's talk about High Functioning Anixety to start with: You see someone who is detail orientated and hardworking and always on time. What you don't see is someone who is so afraid of messing up even slightly that we have to be detail orientated. Someone who is so afraid of being a minute late that they're always on time. For fear of getting in trouble. You also don't see someone who feels like they HAVE to work all the time otherwise we feel useless or not doing enough.
