I Forgive You
I never thought I'd write this. I never thought it would be possible. I was convinced the very mention of your name would forever conjure the ugliest, darkest parts of me, swirling round in the pit of my stomach until seeping through my veins into every sinew of my body. A thick venom of resentment that made me hate everything, most of all myself.

My Dating Disaster
His picture popped up on my screen—a tall, dark, and handsome enough guy with an air of intellect and a suave smile. He was a PHD student in Physics, a fact I found both intimidating and arousing.

The Wild One
Unexpected is an understatement. To say I wasn't looking for anyone or anything, also an understatement. I wanted to be solo for the rest of my life. My scars luminous and unwavering. I had no want to let anyone see them, let alone heal them.

The Way I Feel
I don't know anymore, about anything. To be honest I don't know which way is up or down, and which way is left or right. Truth be told I'm lost. You can say I'm like a sailor without a compass. I feel as useful as an airplane without any fuel. Ever since I lost her I don't know the purpose of my life. I can't feel joy, happiness, or get excited anymore. Now I'm just sad, down, and just... depressed. I thought about suicide but I wouldn't go through with it, because other people would be sad. I keep telling myself that "it will get better," but deep down I know that it won't get better... at least not without her. I hate feeling like this, I was ten years clean from cutting, ten years I'll never be able to get back. People keep asking me what's wrong, I don't really want to tell them, so I just tell them and myself "I'm fine," when really I feel more useful dead. I just feel like I'm nothing, like I never was anything and I never will be something. I know there is such thing as real love, but why does there have to be pain? Why do people have to play games with people's hearts? It makes me so sad that every time I put my heart into something, my heart always gets stepped on, spit on, hit, and shoved right back into my chest. Why can't I enjoy everything I used to love to do, like make songs, play video games, and hangout with friends. I can't find any happiness, maybe because I can't get her out of my head... or maybe there is something wrong with me. I don't want to do anything.

Letters to You
1. Letters aren’t usually written this way, but maybe emails are? Not-Not that this is an email, though—no. Anyways, I just wanted to say, “Hi.”

Blind Date
I was 21 and working full time at a Title Loan store. My manager and I became really close and turned into best friends. She was there to listen to all my guy trouble and let me vent whenever I needed. One day she told me her husband had a friend she wanted to set me up with. I was so desperate at the time I told her sure.

#MyWorstDate
As far as bad dates go, I've had my share of them. Who hasn’t had a few bad dating experiences? So choosing just one as the worst for some would be difficult. For me, none of my bad dates were as bad as the last one. It was so horrible it changed my life forever. It started out great considering I had already gone on a few dates with this guy. He picked me up at my condo and we went to a sports bar to watch a game. It’s so crazy that I can’t even remember whether it was a big basketball or football game because much of that night still remains blurry in my mind. We ate and watched the game. While we did this we talked about our futures. I remember telling him that I wanted to go back to school to get my master’s degree. I was really starting to like him. I remember thinking he had done everything right so far and maybe, just maybe I’ll let him kiss me goodnight.

Should've Swiped Left
#MyWorstDate While I was in college, I was on a quest to find my prince charming. I looked everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Unfortunately, my looking led me back to high school where I clearly should have left all of those love interests.

What Is an INTJ Relationship?
Don't let the all caps scare you. INTJ is just an acronym for a certain personality type: Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging. It is a personality description that is based on something called the Myers-Briggs test; think of it like reading up on your zodiac sign. So what are INTJs like and what is an INTJ relationship?

Payment
When people talk about having the worst date ever it usually goes something like he or she was so rude, he or she was ugly, they looked nothing like their picture, the person was a narcissist, they were boring, or they didn’t pay for dinner. Well this unfortunate tale is nothing like that.

I Solemnly Swear!
Last night I made a promise to myself that I really hope to keep, for my own good. The promise was that I will never again be bothered with someone that I have to “chase,” and that under no circumstances will ever go after someone who doesn't seem to be interested in me as much as I am interested in him.

Plenty of Fish...?
Now, I think it’s safe to say that over the past eighteen months, my "love life," or rather lack thereof, has become somewhat of a laughing stock and a subject of amusement amongst my friends.
