Exes and Oh's: Part 22
SERENA Baytown was merely a twenty-two-minute drive from Pasadena, but it might as well have been a different coastal state all on its own. The small businesses in Town Square were charming but still held typical pop shops of goodness. I was shopping for some decor for one of the houses I was renovating at the moment, and I needed something that wasn't an antique piece. Although the farmhouse look was something Texans favored, it just wasn't my style. I needed a fresh look, something that hasn't been done before. Which was why when I saw Red Daddy's Furniture Store awning, I smirked, knowing I just had to go into a store with a name like that.

Zumanjaro
For my birthday I took Jared and Sylvia to Six Flags. After going on the Spinning Dragons, we walked to go to the Zumanjaro, the tallest drop tower in the world. We waited in line for around thirty minutes laughing about how scared I was. Sylvia was clearly scared but she covered it up with her usual "I'm not scared" personality. We got on, Sylvia on the right, Jared on the left, and me in the middle. When it shot up I was surprised to look down and see that my straps came loose. As I started to slip out, Jared and I grabbed onto each other but our grip wasn't strong enough. "I can't hold on. I-I'm sorry. I-I can't!" Realizing he couldn't for much longer, I decided to do one thing that I had never had the courage to do. I would kiss my crush in my last moments. He already knew, I mean he asked and when I tried to lie he could tell so I told the truth. He didn't care and told me what I already knew. He was gay. It was never going to happen. Yet I knew I was going to die so I might as well do something. "Before I let go, will you do one thing?"

My First Lesbian Relationship Pt. 5
So I left off in part four with my fiancé landing her Starbucks job. This was literally the greatest thing at that time for her. She wasn't herself with everything that had happened in the past few months. My fiancé finally found the light at the end of the tunnel... BUT it was a struggle.

The Shocking Truth That Co-Dependency Stems from Emotional Abuse
Did you ever think a person could be so heartless and evil and yet you would fall for them? Codependency is a surefire way to generally get stuck in a narcissist's web. By being a good, loyal person it's easy to get blindsided and trapped in their web of strategic yet deceitful tactics.

Someday, Not Today
There is nothing left. We have lost and our existence will be mourned by those who have come to love us. The rain comes down to wash away the fires, and to let us see clearly, that we no longer have a place in this small world we all desire to possess.

How I Got Over My First Real Friendship
She was it all. She was my long lost sister, mother, and best friend all in one body. We knew everything about each other, we spent everyday with each other, and we never let our attitudes get in the way of it. We were the typical best friends anyone could think of. We had matching tattoos together. We even picked each other up to go to Walmart together and then go home.

Can You Be Gay and Straight at the Same Time?
The human experience is incredibly complex, and something that we fail to accurately define no matter how hard we try (and we do truly try to define everything.) As a society, it can sometimes feel as though we have embarked upon an endless pursuit of meaningless, redundant labels to explain every thought and feeling human beings have. However, for some people labels are an incredibly important part of their experience, and that can offer an insight into parts of themselves they previously didn't know how to understand. Labels can serve as the explanation people feel like they ought to have for their behaviour. In such a restrictive society, labels can actually allow for the self-expression a person would otherwise have felt uncomfortable with.

Exes and Oh's: Part 21
MARLEY Freddy was being discharged from the hospital today. Just in time for Thanksgiving, which was only a few days away. There was still a lot to do and people to invite. I've only gathered half of the ingredients I needed and the rest I'd be getting from Danny's farm. My first stop was my office, to pick up the packages I was expecting. I had ordered a brand new camera with brand new lens and I wanted to try them out during Thanksgiving dinner.

Exes and Oh's: Part 20
SERENA "Michael?" I called for him as I exited the hotel bathroom, holding onto my stomach from the nausea that had been plaguing me all week. I felt a fever coming on and felt like we should go back to Pasadena until this flu passed but he was nowhere in sight as I looked through the spacious living area of the condo. Casa Del Mar was a beautiful retreat and I would've taken advantage of this mini-vacation if the weather looked like it would cooperate. I could see the clouds clustering together in the sky from the floor to ceiling windows, as the thunder crackled and the rain began to fall.
