The Fantasy of Tinder Love
Tinder has always, and will always be known as the dating app that really isn't a dating app. As a woman in her mid-twenties I am aware of this, but still hope that I meet one of the men of the 5 percent that want something more meaningful than a hook-up. Don't get me wrong, I have indeed met men on there just for the sake of being friends with benefits, but even that doesn't always go anywhere. When will a girl learn? About a month ago is that answer, I finally learned about a month ago.

"I've Never Felt As Scared as I Did When People Were Killed for Being In Love"
I felt prepared to meet her, but I hadn't even thought of how Mrs. Adley would approach me. If she was anything like the elderly people I'd met and come to adore, would she invite me past the threshold and ask if I'd enjoy a tea and biscuit? Pop the kettle on perhaps?

The Wilting Rose
What happened to my best friend? Where did she go? Ever since I had to cut you off, I've felt so alone. Last year we were vibing then a dull boy took your soul. He's been around for a few years but I've been by your side through the most. How could you choose him over me? We've been through so much together, we're supposed to stay by each other's side through the highs and the lows. Our friendship has been on the line of falling apart for quite some time now, but I haven't cared much until the other night. I reached out to you when I was in need of a friend, hoping that maybe I could give you another chance. You gave me a short reply and I'm used to that, but I got a little angry this time.

Why Letting Go Is the Better Option
"Letting go." Two words, a thousand meanings, an unlimited amount of strength and courage. The thing is, people nowadays confuse letting go with losing something. If you've got the option of letting something go, I'm sorry to tell you, you've already lost it. Or, more often than not, it was never yours to lose in the first place.

Looking for Mr. Right on a Dating Site
It was summer 2007. I’d recently graduated high-school and was freshly single. My long-distance boyfriend of two years dumped me shortly after prom; He said it was because he’d had a change of heart about moving to Georgia from New Jersey, but to this day, I believe we broke up because I didn’t give it up prom night.

A Drop Among Other Things: Chapter 2
It took me a long time to fill out my application to the coffee shop. When I say a long time, I mean a week. After the door incident in front of "Mr. Handsome," I couldn’t even think about what it would be like working there. I imagined all of the spilt coffee, all of the times I would probably say something stupid to a customer, and the dirty looks I would get from cheerleaders.

My Gracie
A car horn beeped outside and I jumped up from my place on the sofa, grabbed my backpack and bolted to the door. Bouncing down the steps, I jogged over to the car that was parked right outside with glee and hopped into the passenger seat. “Good afternoon,” a deep and husky voice said.

A Night in Montreal
Breathing in the usual New York City air, a group of friends and I spontaneously decided to go on a road trip to Toronto, Canada. It was the 8th of January 2016, and we were all sprung out from roaming around New York City, endlessly looking for an unusual adventure. It was Friday, "the perfect day for a road trip," laughed one of my friends. There I was actually entertaining the idea of going to Toronto, a completely different city in a completely different country. Frantically rushing home to find my long lost passport, the feeling of excitement burst out of me. I knew it would be a weekend none of us would ever forget.
