Letter
To my dearest best friend in the whole world: This letter is to remind you of your worth and how very much you are loved. From when we were nothing but silly teenage goofballs, you were my person to hold me up. My person to laugh with. My person to cry with. You were and still are a very important person in my life.

Let the One Be Your Choice
For as long as I could remember, I've always been told when you meet the one you'll know. However, at the end of the day, I believe we choose who we want our one to be.

Friendships
As a 22-year-old woman (blegh that sounds weird. I feel like I relate more to girls than women), I have gone through a lot of friendships and breakups and I understand that they can be really hard, especially at school in a friendship group filled with girls. We are bitchy, jealous and hormonal (gosh I sound like my mum), but don’t you worry I’m here to tell you exactly what to do. Okay that’s a lie. I’m going to tell you about my experience and my views on it, and if I help just one person I'll know it’s worth it.

Life After Love: Part 7
SERENA I was up to my last can of shaving cream apparently. I shook it until I squeezed every drop out and threw the can inside a plastic bag before heading back up to the beginning of the homemade slide.

Over the years that are far beyond us now, things were taken for granted. Even back before smartphones we had devices or other distractions from life, but it wasn't anything like the extremes we face today among one another.

What Does It Cost to Be a Friend?
What does it cost to be a friend? Five dollars? Ten dollars? Or, maybe $1,000,000? Fact of the matter is that we cannot pay for everything in this world with a green piece of printed government paper. The answer to this question is not measured in dollar signs, but in certain actions. In reading a book titled What is Worthwhile by Anna Robertson Brown Lindsay, I discovered an answer to this question that I feel must be shared. In the book, Lindsay states that the cost of friendship is:

Blinded By Love
The emotion, love, is one of the worst rollercoasters I've ever been on. It's like going on Kingda Ka with the worst hangover: The ride only last about three minutes but it feels close to a lifetime. Once the ride stops and the seatbelt unlocks, you puke all over yourself. All you can think of is that maybe all the "liquor" that went into your system the night before, was really worth it.

How to Prepare for Love
If you're struggling to find a suitable partner, or if you keep attracting the same types of people that just aren't right for you, then it's time to take a big step back and go within. Oftentimes our subconscious mind has been programed (through our upbringing and experiences), and this "blueprint" is what is pushing love away from you. These blocks need to be removed before you can find true love. You owe it to yourself and to your future love to do the internal work that is necessary in order to find real, lasting love.

Best Way to Keep Long Distance Relationships Alive
From experience, as a young woman dating someone whose nights were my partner's daytimes, I've been through it all. On top of it, I've learned the best lessons from it that I couldn't have ever imagined. I learned to establish trust, patience, and to show more sincerity to make up for the lack of physical touch and the caressing that most men desire from their woman.
