Reasons Why an Open Relationship May Work for You
Up until recently, I was in an open relationship with the man I thought I'd marry. Honestly, it was a great relationship for me until he broke it off by cheating on me. Though my relationship ended horribly, the truth is that I've learned that I prefer open relationships to monogamy.

Is Your Relationship Changing You for Better or for Worse?
Sometimes, you might not even realise that you are changing during your relationship. People might have said to you, “you are different now” but still, we don’t see that with our own eyes. But, what type of “different” is okay? Have your friends noticed you are not laughing as much, have you stopped socialising with people you used to see often? Or, on the flip side, have you come out of your shell and feel more confident?

The Force of a Thousand Trains
One evening in March on my walk home, I was stopped by a moving train, crossing the road just before the parking lot of my apartment. It was the sunniest 5:30PM this town had seen in months. As the train moved along the tracks, the setting sun on the horizon shone through the breaks in the box cars. Sometimes, on my walks through the city, I get an idea for a sentence or an entire story and I rush home, repeating the idea over and over in my head so I don’t forget it before I can write it down. On this day I had no ideas to hurry home for, just an empty stomach that made me anxious to get past the train.

Should You Mention Your Ex in Your New Relationship?
When things are going well in your relationship, the last thing you want to do is bring up ghosts from the past and risk starting an argument or cause tension. But, curiosity often gets the better of us all, especially when the same face pops up in your old Facebook photos.

Phoenix, Rising Through Hell
I am writing you this letter, in an attempt to heal myself of the damage you have caused me. I am mailing you this letter as a sign of maturity from me. I am writing this letter to express the abuse and trauma you caused me, to remind you of the sins you chose to commit. I have not named you in this letter and I am coming directly to you, in a peaceful manner, but what I have to say, it will not be so peaceful.

What to Do After a Breakup
Most likely, you are reading this because you're going through a breakup or still can't get over an ex. Whether you've been through a breakup or not, this will help you get over any man. First off, if you're sad, most likely he broke up with you, but don't worry you're going to be ok. The first step of getting over a breakup is deleting his number and deleting him on all of your social media accounts, don't continue following him on social media after a breakup. The reason you don't want to do this is because you're going to see all his stuff, whether it's him getting a new girlfriend or just hanging out with friends. Let's all be honest here, the hardest part of a breakup is seeing the person, especially if it is face to face. For example, to get over the guy you can't watch his Snapchat stories anymore, you're only going to make yourself more upset. Next step is deleting all the pictures, this might be the hardest part because you see all the happy memories. Doing all of this is like pulling off a band-aid, painful but fast. Also, delete all those pictures because, yes, they were happy memories but you're going to be able to make new ones. I should've put this as the first and last step but it can be applied anywhere. After breaking up you need to go out with your girls. I don't care how many of your friends you go out with and I don't care where you go, just go. This is going to be the most freeing and healing part. Your girls are always going to support you, go out, have fun, get dressed up, and go crazy. Also, don't sit around at home because all you're going to do is think about him, thinking about him at all is going to be the worst thing to do. Also, be there for your girls when they go through breakups! Be the friend who gets them to let go and flirt with a guy, or be an even better friend and hook them up with a nicer guy! Breaking up is hard but it's not as hard when your around people who are fun and support you. These girls love you a lot and most likely if they are your true friends they are going to be right there with you bashing him. Also, be with your girls when you delete his number because right when you get sad they are going to be right there hugging you. Also, if you're 21 and over, I recommend going out to a bar, not a trashy bar though. Trashy bars are where you meet guys who only want to hookup and honestly, hooking up with a guy when your sad only makes you sadder. Getting under someone new to get over someone is not a thing don't do or try it. Go to a nice bar and sit down you never know who you will meet. Also, since I just experienced this last night I can give you another place to not meet a guy. Don't meet a guy at a carnival, don't even think you're going to meet a guy at a carnival. Almost all the guys there are going to be dads who are either with their kids or families. I guess you could say in conclusion, always have your girls with you after a breakup, delete his number and social media, delete the pictures, and delete him from your life! Go and live your life because girl, you deserve to be happy whether that's with or without him! I hope you find someone to make you even happier than he made you because you deserve that and trust me you will get over this! As always, make sure you love yourself!

Guys, there are some things that we can figure out and there are other things that we need help with. If we get a flat tire or our car is making a strange noise, we usually know what to do. But, if your romance goes flat, you are clueless. I should know. I've been clueless a few time myself, but I learned from my mistakes.
