Raindrops
The silence in her bedroom was interrupted by the rain drops fiercely hitting the window. Laying on her bed pretending to sleep, her gaze was fixed on the raindrops straggling to stay in format when reaching the window panes. Sunlight breaks the dark room beaming through the window. She puts a small effort to turn her head to the other side of the room running away from the light. The alarm’s noise overshadows the drumming rain. This time her eyes can’t lie about sleeping. “It’s here.” Her thoughts woke up to this phrase. “My so-called dream day. I worked so hard for this moment. I am marrying the love of my life but I never thought big weddings matter more than the marriage. But it’s for our families’ sake.” Her brain starts remembering moments of refusal from both sides about every detail she wanted to discuss about her wedding day, including the groom, how many people are coming, the menu options, the flowers' colors and sizes. The cake's decoration, her own wedding dress was the worst of them all.

Ways to Tell If You're the Side Chick
If you're Googling this question, you're most likely the side chick. A woman's intuition is very strong, and feeling as if something is off in your relationship is reason enough to question your stance in a man's life, especially if he shows any of these signs.

Love Is Complicated
I had read an article a while back about how we only fall in love with three people throughout our entire lives. At first, I thought that it couldn't be true, but as I read on it made so much sense! Nothing had ever made so much sense in my life!

22 Years of Love
I've been alive for about 22 years now, and I've learned a lot about love, heartbreak, and people. I've been broken up with, broke up with someone else, called off an engagement, and fallen in love over and over again. I have many more years of learning to go, but here is what I know:

Complicated Relationship With My Sexuality
I have a weird relationship with my sexuality. I identify to the world as "bisexual." I like all genders and sexes. I stick by the definition of bisexuality meaning "two or more genders." I identify to myself and to the people who understand as "queer"—a lot of people don’t know that "queer" is a sexuality though.

Arts & Spice
Jessica was in town visiting us for the first time in forever. Once she turned eighteen, she left Homewood, Alabama for Nashville. She was a true country music girl. My brother and I, on the other hand, we just liked sports. Any and all. Of course, we were much younger so we didn't care she left, and we didn't care to know why. We just liked sports. Having a little brother made me a tomboy, which worried my family.

Tuesday Night Affairs
How can your life turn upside-down in just a matter of seconds? How can you lose everything you have worked for just because of a stupid mistake? How can you turn back time? These were the questions that kept popping up in Jean’s head while she stood perfectly still watching the ocean. She had come to the island thinking that staring at the vast ocean would put all her problems into perspective. But she was wrong. The burden of her mistakes were so heavy that there wasn’t room for anything else.

There's No Place for Green at Our Wedding
They always say that you shouldn't compare yourself to other people or be envious of what they have, and I'd be lying if I said I don't. It's incredibly hard not to compare myself to others, especially when I see people my age doing (what seems like) 10 times better than me in every aspect of life. They have better jobs, they make more money, they travel the world, and they slay every damn day. Meanwhile, I'm nowhere near where I wanted to be in life except for the fact that I'm finally getting married, so that does give me a little boost in confidence. The way I see it, if I'm gonna struggle, at least I have someone to struggle with. For richer or poorer, right? But no comparison of myself to others has sent me spiraling like comparing wedding plans.
