Grievances of Grindr
Grindr is one of the most laughable, most used, most questionable and, most importantly, one of the most iconic keystones of gay culture in the west. The app is centered around making contact and communication more accessible to users that happen to be in a similar geographic area. In common terms, if you're a fine young lad looking to chat or find some form of companionship, Grindr is one of the best tools to help you link up with someone with just the same interests. However since the app's popularization has soared in recent years, it has been judged to be a cesspool of STDs, superficiality, and a threat to privacy among many other fragrant claims.

The Charm Bracelet ~ March~
Chapter 1 - March It was a sad and tragic day. Not only that, but Meredith had just lost the one person who understood her. Sitting in the hospital, she couldn't stand the sight of the hospital staff and the few friends she had looking at her in pity. She stood up from her chair, which was placed next to the hospital bed and pushed everyone out, shutting the door behind them. Slowly she turned to where her late husband laid, resuming her place in the chair next to him.

I Will Support My Husband's Passion
My husband has an ever-growing desire to become a photographer. Not just any photography, though. He LOVES every aspect of the art. He appreciates the angles, lighting, contrast, and anything else you can think of having to do with a high quality photograph. Half of what I just said, I wouldn't even know what it meant if it wasn't for my husband. He has wanted to become a photographer since he was about 15 years old. He took a photography class his sophomore year in high school and fell in love with it soon after. He ended up taking it for the following two years, but didn't even get a professional camera until about two years ago; not long after he had graduated high school. Since he bought it used off of someone, it didn't even come with a user manual. Because of that, I can't even count how many YouTube videos he has watched to learn the camera, both inside and out. He is even trying to start his own photography business with his best friend. He dreams to become sponsored by companies such as Honda, Chevrolet, and Mercedes. Those are amazing brands, but I honestly don't think he will ever stop until Red Bull has sponsored him. He is always talking about how he would have his hat designed, and I find that funny because he doesn't even wear hats! I've seen the smiles and grins while taking my sister's senior prom pictures, and I've also seen them just taking pictures of our children in the yard. Both make him equally happy and it makes me that happiest wife in the world being able to watch him do what he loves.

Life is About More
Life is about more. More than working 9-5. More than your smartphone or computer. More than Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, and dating apps. More than sex with strangers or your partner. More than just paying bills. Life is about living; something modern society seems to have forgotten.

Meeting on Tinder...
So, as of 2014, according to Ggoogle, around 50 million people across the world are using Tinder. If we narrow that down to my small 30-mile radius within the north of the UK, it’s not that many people. Although on Tinder you can immediately see someone’s face, it is in some way anonymous.

Follow Up on Adult Bullying
Where I left off with my last story wasn't the full issue of what happened after, so here I am writing the rest of what went down after the fact and before the baby. This is going to be more on how everyone viewed what happened and how they felt from what the other two had told me. When people aren't physically there, people tend to blame the one thrown into the middle of things. Sometimes certain individuals involved won't own up to what they did wrong even though they know exactly what they did wrong. Actually, it could be considered molestation since nobody had my permission in the first place.

Five Years
It's a Friday, the beginning to a hopefully enjoyable weekend. My boyfriend and I both get off work and decide to start the weekend off right. We have nowhere to be tomorrow so we begin to wander, driving around with no real destination. We stop at the mall and decide to walk around and window shop a little bit. We go to walk into this pop culture store and there you are. Standing there, flipping through CDs. It's like seeing a ghost. I immediately turn and walk out of the store and mumble something about coming back later. My boyfriend, confused, follows me and tries to make sense of the mumbles and haziness. I just keep walking like somehow increasing the distance will make me feel safer somehow.

Some Things Are Better Off Without Knowing...
I had my first real crush in the ninth grade. His name was Alex. I first saw Alex in the spring semester in the English wing, a short glance made me have the biggest crush ever. We didn't speak all that year, and I honestly didn't think we would. I guess destiny wanted for us to meet, and we had a class together in the tenth grade. I tried my very best to impress him. I would get the answers to the tests and give them to him, he would pass and I wouldn't. But I didn't care. Before the Christmas break, I took a bag full of lollipops to give out to the entire class, only for me to be able to approach him. I would ride the bus every day. One day, all of a sudden, I see Alex riding my bus. He was alone, so I decided to sit in the seat behind him. We started talking, he got off at the first stop, but I was so happy after that day. And my friends, who were all watching from the back of the bus, knew this. On one of the rides, Alex started asking for a friend of mine named Celeste. That's when I realized he liked girls. I started feeling down but he was so cute and my first crush since the seventh grade, which made it really difficult for me to move on easily. He was a nice person overall. I remember sitting in a desk near the end of the middle row when Alex enters the room, walks towards me to greet me, then walks to the end of the room to take his sit. The stupid me thought it was a mixed signal, now realizing he was just being polite. Anyway, I didn't tell him my feelings all that school year.

Tips to Make the First Date Great
Chemistry is a very tricky thing. The definition of chemistry is a strong attraction between two people. Science can’t describe it or explain why it’s there. It could be anything from the sound of his/her voice to the way he or she smells. But if you’re really listening to your intuition, you should be able to tell if there’s any chemistry on the first date.
