'You Have to Love Yourself'
“You have to love yourself before you can love someone else.” Well, no. In my 18 years on this planet I have not learned as much as I would’ve hoped to, but I do know love. I know what it feels like, as well as how to give it. I know how to love the right people, and I know how to love the wrong ones. I know how it makes your heart feel whole even on the roughest days, and how it has that insane ability to make it seem as though everything will work out—even when it won’t. I know the feeling you get in your entire body when you look at someone you love laughing. I know how it feels when love leaves. And I know that even though I do not yet have unconditional love for myself, I have loved and I have loved fully.

Dear Survivor
Dear Survivor, I’m here to tell you that you are totally not alone. I know the narcissist hurt you to your core. I understand how you can feel so alone, unworthy, and downright un-loveable. But I’m going to tell you that you are none of those things, for you are glorious. You are amazing just the way you are, so don’t ever change yourself for someone else.

Are You My Daddy?
The first man I can remember being attracted to was Judd Nelson, and no, not his character from The Breakfast Club. That might have seemed more natural since I was only around ten at the time. I'd seen him in a late night movie and let's just say he was the 'bad guy'. He was also much older than me at the time, well he still is of course. But I was ten and he was in his thirties. You could argue that this was the first emergence of many issues to come for me regarding relationships and men.

Shut Up Inner Voice, You're Drunk
I’m finally dating someone. Or more accurately, I am dating someone again and not shying away from talking about it for fear of jinxing it. It is so weird to me you have to almost have a philosophical internal dialogue to know what is okay or not okay to say to someone you are dating now. I have always been the type of person who is awkwardly honest about my feelings, and necessary discussion has never terrified me. That makes me a freak now.

When Is the Right Time to Bring Your New Relationship Into the Bedroom?
I’m sure everyone has read at least one book about relationships from the so-called "experts." Each author has a different opinion about intimacy, but an overwhelming majority of them advise waiting for two to three months before "hooking up." Personally, I’ve never dated a man that is willing to wait that long (and even I couldn’t/wouldn’t hold out for months on end). The truth is that everyone is different and there are no rules. I know couples that hooked up on the first night they met and are happily married with kids. Still others waste time dating for months only to find out there’s no sizzle in the bedroom. When to get intimate is a personal call only you can make. But I do have a few guidelines regarding this subject.

You Don't Like What?!
When I was young, I was tall, lanky, and, as my mother would put it, "I had arms and legs going everywhere." During that time, I didn’t like my body. I am still tall, lanky, and have arms and legs going everywhere, but I have come to LOVE my entire body but especially one part… my legs. *SMILE*
