Why You Should Leave Toxic People in Your Past
In order for us to grow, we must make tough decisions. Where do I want to go to school? What do I want to do for the rest of my life? One of the most important questions is this; are the people that I surround myself with good for my health? The answer might seem obvious - yes. You might say that having friends is good for me, no matter what. I need to surround myself with people, because everyone needs companionship to survive. I'm here to tell you that you may not always be right.

"Real Love" Part One
Real Love "All I want is to give my love, all of it, to someone. I really want that perfect love life. I guess it took me a while to understand what it means when they say 'settling down'; and that it's beyond the sex or the gifts and compliments. I want someone that understands; someone that is a combination of old school and new school.

Love Never Dies
When I scheduled my senior year of high school, I had a graduating boyfriend, a perfect room all to myself, and a plan for my future. That summer before my senior year was definitely a blast, and it definitely happened too fast. My first week into school, my sister was in my room and we were getting ready for school. I heard a crash of thunder, which I thought was coming from outside. Minutes later my brother runs upstairs, screaming how water was coming into his room. We run downstairs and sure enough, our house was flooding after that. It was a strain on my family for a long time. I once again had to share a room with my sister, and my studies were off to a bad start from missed classes. I was also working and trying to maintain my extra curriculars. Three weeks later, my relationship failed, and he decided to go his separate way. I was devastated.

Life Lessons From Broken Long-Term Relationships in Your 20s
The end of a long term relationship is a lot like raising a child; it's frustrating, can often be loud and demeaning, and you're usually left in a puddle of a mess without any rhyme or reason as to how you ever possibly convinced yourself that any of this was a good idea to begin with. But the end of a long term relationship, specifically in your 20s, can be even more frustrating and full of hate; you're young and inexperienced, broken, and with no idea how to be single. There are countless amounts of articles and blog posts online that could give you everything you need to know about working through your breakup: from how to get over your ex, to things you should never do after a break up, to websites that weasel single people straight into them dirty porn advertisements. And while we comb through these patronizing methods of online dating and meet-up sites to try to sort out what feelings we have left, I have found that there isn't really a place that showcases the true terror of what it feels like to have half of your soul torn out of your body, tendrils of your insides spilling out of your eyes, and your nostrils in big, messy globs. One would think that helpful breakup advice could potentially render a person quite wealthy beyond measure...unfortunately, I don't really have any of that. In fact, I'm quite uncertain anyone really has any at all, and it's most likely because it all comes down to being really sad for a while before the countless masturbation sessions just end up boring you and you wander off again in search of your next future soulmate/ex. With all that being said, cleaving off the end of a long term relationship during that moment in your life when serious adulthood is just within finger's reach, all while you're still standing knee-deep in the goop-y, green sludge that is your youth can be a great teaching moment. Therefore, I present to you: the lessons I have learned from surviving single life in my 20s. Enjoy my pain.

The Side Chick Chit Chat
The media has perpetuated and profited off of the reign of the "side chick." When it comes to the nature of infidelity in modern day relationships, it really brings in the big bucks. Television programs like V?H1's Love and Hip Hop display men and women glamorize the life of their little piece on the side. While those sensationalized narratives exist on reality TV, they do not always play out that way in the real world.

Let Free
A wave of depression overcame her. Had a really been 12 months since James had died? This is the first time she had visited the beach since the incident. The memories were overwhelming her. She began to run and didn’t look back, until she reached a rockcliff standing in her way. The white foamy waves were folding at her toes. Her dark blue eyes staring out to sea. All she wanted was James back.
