Gaslights Illuminate Manipulation
I wish more people understood what it feels like to believe they are truly losing their minds. I mean this in a very literal sense. Not that I want people to suffer like I am suffering, but just that they understood that the obvious solutions aren't always as easy as they may seem.

When Love Is Not Seen But Felt
"I can do this. I can do this. I can do this." Was the mantra I had repeated to myself in my head from the entire hour I spent getting ready for the evening, all the way up to until I pulled up to the restaurant in the backseat of my taxi that had picked me up outside of my apartment. I was hoping that the car ride would've settled my nerves but the moment I walked up to the front door my anxiety had completely amplified.

Vanilla Bean & Cherry
Are we akin cherries? We may reside in the world on our own-- or be connected to another by a long, thin stem. Many admire the pair, however, the one that ventures alone is just as sweet. Each has a hard center that keeps it strong and whole. However, in the end, each will vanish eventually. Do we bother to stay grasping to the other or do we seek the sweetness of being unfettered?

Thunders Down Under
My moment of absolute embarrassment dates back to long before the date even started. I met this guy at one of the most popular gay clubs in West Hollywood during a drunken night. He was tall, lanky to be exact, had shaggy, brown hair and very intriguing brown eyes; he was very much the type of guy who would catch my attention opposed to his surrounding buff pole dancers and muscular, blonde Adonis. His name was Nate. We spoke for about ten minutes before he had to leave to the next bar with his girlfriends. We exchanged numbers and texted for a few days before deciding to go on a date. It was on the day of that I started to get really excited and texted my best friend, telling her all about Nate. In the heat of the excitement, nervousness, and anxiety, my stomach started to act out in a completely opposite manner of its usual sluggishness, prompting me to run to the restroom as my bowels contorted inside me. Eleven minutes later and four knocks to the bathroom door of that coffee shop, all I could think was “Thank God for the air freshener the owner provided for guests!”

My last first date
That is it! I am tired of horrible dates. What does a girl have to go through to find THE ONE?!! For God to really get me to pay attention, he made this date one never to forget. I know I asked for a sign, but good grief, I had no idea what I was in for when I accepted my last first date.

Bardot Contre Merlot
He was someone whom I had met on The Internet and had come to crave meeting up with again and again and again. Today, at the last moment, we made plans to get together later this evening. I didn't want this date to be regular. It should be extra pleasant, romantic, full of intrigue.

The Perfect Date
Sta After being chronically single for five years and having not been on any kind of outting that slightly resembled a date in two, I was reluctant but enthusiastic about having dinner with a guy I'd met on Facebook eight months earlier. Tyimbe St. Mitchell. This brother was fine. Poised. Ran his own business. TSM Trucking and Transportation Services company. Which he had recently expanded. Only one previous marriage, yielding two beautiful children. Polite, spiritual, soft spoken, he painted for fun, mostly nature scenes, ran a few marathons over his lifeline and he was a home owner. We talked for hours and he faced timed with me every night before going to bed.

Trust But Verify!!
This is my warning to all the women in the world who are dating losers. Ask yourself a question: How would you feel if your daughter was dating this man? I'm there now! December 26th 2013 I married my husband and became a step-mother to his beautiful daughter. I have never had any children with my husband but my step-daughter is the center of my world. All I can think about is how I can protect her and teach her everything she needs to know. She doesn't like me sometimes because I'm much stricter on her then her father is. I am the enemy right now but I am okay with that. The day is coming when she will understand me.

1:20
1:20 My phones ringing, butterflies filled my stomach, I have been waiting for this call. “Hello?” I whispered “hello beautiful, meet me at Tides, 6 oclock.” He whispers back in his raspy voice. Thats all I wanted to hear, a time and place. Im getting a tingling feeling through my entire body a throbbing sensation planning out scenarios of this soon to be encounter. Hes so mysterious and intriguing, I cant help but wonder what hes thinking. This has me thinking what will i wear? I dont have time to get my hair done, my nails are horrible! I sit and take a deep breath, what i am is more than enough. I sink a little deeper into my chair and stare at the clock, its slowly ticking away.
