Have you ever known someone or had a friend that was in a relationship that you knew just wasn’t going to work out? You could tell by the way your friend would tell you about their problems. But just how is it that we know when a relationship is meant to work out or not? What is it in us that could tell something so obvious but the two people involved are oblivious to it?

It happens. There are some key red flags to look out for when in a relationship with someone.

4 Tips and Tricks for Valentine's Day for Your Date!
Valentine's Day is just around the corner! One of the stereotypical things about Valentine's Day is that it is when boyfriends and husbands pull out all the stops and make the night special for their girlfriend or their wife.

West's Valentine
West's Valentine Part 1 Her shiny pastel-pink hair shimmered underneath the dark, blue sky as I reached for her hand. Her eyes swallowed my soul into their mossy abyss. These were just a few things I had fallen in love with before actually getting to know why she decided to stick with pastel pink or how many other natural and unnatural hair colors she had endured before settling on it. They existed before I found out the way her dark, green irises spilled secrets she had tried so desperately to keep locked away. This was before I found out our love would soon drive both of us mad. I don’t mean the kind of mad where at the end of a story, the character ends up in a mental hospital because of an actual illness. Neither of us had illnesses. At least not the kind we usually think about, but we were sick. We were sick of each other, of everything around us, and most of all of our love. Our love drove us to do things we would have never thought to do back when I barely knew her name and she never remembered mine. However, even then I was in love with her. Her name is Val; short for Valentine. She was born on Valentine's Day and, I guess, her parents thought they were being clever, but she hated it.

Do We Know Each Other?
I was scrolling through my Facebook feed a few nights ago when the suggested friends post came into view. Most of the time, they were the same people. Friends of friends or people that lived in the same town as me. Normally, I just ignored it. If they weren't on my friend list now, then there was probably a reason for it. This time, I saw the name of a girl I used to be really good friends with in high school. I was a bit surprised because I could have sworn we were still friends on Facebook. So, I didn't think anything of it when I clicked the little add friend button. I went on with my night and forgot about it until today.
