What Exactly Is Love?
So lately I've found that so many teens today say that they're "in love" and I wonder to myself, how does someone so young know what love is? I know that there are people out there that say that love is something like the warm embrace of someone that shares your life with you but what happens when that dies? My grandma told me that in your life there will be three loves:

The Day I Went Back to My Ex
It’s weird seeing someone you tried to hate for so long. I was supposed to hate a guy for breaking my heart and wanting someone else. I always believed he was only seeing me because he wanted someone to lean on if the other girls weren’t available. He was on Tinder while he was dating me and he did tell my “friend” that he was down for anything, but my heart still had hope and my mind told me there will never be anyone better than him. He was the boyfriend that I always dreamed of, he was tall, had a car and didn’t have to hide me from his parents. Perfect, we were perfect. But once the rose-coloured glasses come off, you see the real person.

A Letter to My Teenage Self
Life won't always be easy. Sometimes it will be challenging. Sometimes you won't know how you will survive. But you will get through it. Sometimes you'll need some help but as long as you aren't afraid to ask it will work out. It might be hard but trust me, you'll do great.

Worst Date That Lead to Worst Breakup
I'll give you a little background on my ex-boyfriend. We'll call him George. Now, George was Hispani, about five foot five; he had dark brown curly locks, and these beautiful green eyes. George and I met during my senior year when I was a teacher's assistant for one of my old teachers, and that class was full of juniors. Yes. George was a junior and I was senior. He was this shy fellow who hardly caused trouble or misbehaved. In fact, we started talking because he caught me looking at memes during class. George was absolutely hilarious. We would have conversations about the most random topics and it never got boring. Our first date was at the movie theater like every other typical couple, except we were not a couple yet, and I had no idea that this was a date.

Open Letter to My Ex Who Is Not My Ex
Hello J, Congratulations. You have a hold on me no one before you (or after you) will ever be able to achieve. You know that feeling? When you jump into a pool at the deep end? When you friends convince you to do it with them, promising they won't let go of your hand? But then, during those brief seconds as you're in the water, they let go and all of a sudden, you feel like you're drowning... But it's not a bad feeling. You're not dying, but you don't feel alive either. It's completely silent. Deafening. This is the calm before the storm. Then you float up and your head emerges from the water, and you gasp for air, while struggling to keep your head above water and kicking furiously so you don't drown. That's how it felt to love you. For that one moment, I forgot how temporary everyone is in your life, despite childish promises and fake compliments. I forgot that at any second, everything you've ever built can be destroyed.

#MyWorstDate
Hands up if you use Tinder more like a game? If you get a match, you stare at your screen in complete bewilderment? Hands up if you collect matches like stamps? Never to be used, just looked upon in wonderment of what could’ve been… If you only summed up the courage to crack the cheesiest line you know. Hands up if you have crossed the line and spoken to these relative strangers, only to find they belong in the valley of freaks or are amateur dick models? Now, hands up if you’ve been through all of this and gone on a date with a match? (Hook ups not included, not much talking occurs on these apart from asking about condoms and taxi numbers). To those who made it through my somewhat painful hand holding up survey and answered yes to any of them, you’re a hero. Playing this single game is not easy, if anything it’s far from the glamour portrayed in Sex and the City or similar programmes. It actually verges on dull.

What to Do If He Hasn’t Replied to Your Message
I know how it goes. You don’t meet anyone you like for ages and then finally you meet a guy and feel that "spark." It’s all going well, you have a few great dates, you get closer, you think he's into you, and then nothing…

I'm Not the One Who Got Away
We don't speak anymore. This time, it's my choice. We held on for so long to something that was no longer there. Something that had disappeared years before. We had no idea the hurt we were inflicting on each other by trying to have one another.
