Why Communication Is Key in a Relationship
Good communication is the basis of any healthy relationship. Whether you are talking or listening, both are equally important. Men and women communicate in different ways, but it’s clear that for any relationship to work we need to find a common ground. Communicating happens not only through words but by body language and tone of voice as well. As human beings, we have a basic need to connect with others. In fact, true intimacy comes from revealing your "true self," which is done through proper communication.

Her Pain
Intro: Harsh words are like bullets; no matter what, they can still leave a painful injury. And sometimes, a "sorry" is not enough to heal the wounds you leave. She’s fed up with not being good enough. She’s fed up with being made to feel ugly. Fed up with feeling unwanted. Let me take a second to remind everyone she is not an object. Rather, she is a person who cares, has feelings, and has a heart. Tired of being made to feel like an idiot on how she acts, feels, or when she says anything. So she is keeping her mouth shut, feelings to herself, & staying alone. Better that way, according to her.

Jake, Who?
I thought I was going to have a lot more to say about Jake over the course of time. Turns out he was just another disappointment. I've been told that people change over the course of time, but I didn't know that someone so amazing and so nice could turn into one of the biggest disappointments in the span of 3 years. We've known each other since we were 14. We dated for 2 years before we called things off after starting college. Now that we're older we tried to give things a second chance, but he's so different now. It breaks my heart. How could someone so genuine and so honest become so tainted and emotionally unavailable after one long-term relationship? He dated someone for almost 3 years after we broke up, and he obviously loved her with everything he had because it's been one year and he's still not over her. I just didn't want to believe that when we were talking. After coming to this realization, I recognized the fact that I only loved the 18-year-old version of him I once knew. Who he is now and who I have become was not going to work. On Sunday night I ended up calling him and asked for 5 minutes of his time. I made it quick and simple.

The Story of a Former Catfish
There are times that I look at myself in the mirror, and I absolutely hate what I see. I look at my dry skin (that STILL manages to break out somehow), my glasses, my weight, my stringy hair, dry lips, and I'll nitpick at myself. I'm constantly changing the way that I look due to all of these insecurities. I'll change my makeup style, layer it on heavily with bright colored highlights, smokey eye, etc, or I'll have a completely natural look. I'll get new glasses that hide half my face so that, at least in my mind, people can't see how hideous I actually am.

There's A Moon Out Tonight
sDear Aris, Every Sunday you and I would walk down the cherry blossom covered road to Rocky’s Diner and order one strawberry milkshake. We loved coming here because it made us feel like we had traveled in time. The diner was 50s themed with checkered tile, neon lights hugged every corner, and an old jukebox stood by the biggest window. Every time I looked at the jukebox by the window it reminded me that as time flies, true beauty never fades. It reminded me of you.
