A Hopeful Romantic's Romeo
It had been four years since I had seen him last and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Since then, he had been married and divorced and also had a son from the marriage. I, on the other hand, had still been single with no children.

Untrue Love (Part Three: B)
I must relay a disclaimer before I continue. My time with Damion may have been short-lived, but it was all over the place. Meaning that many of my memories are not in order or have holes in them. Having said that, if I jump around a little, that is why. Let's continue.

Old Flame, New Fire
Valentine’s Day is known to be a day dedicated to love, friendship, romance, and desire. When we are in a relationship, all can be well with the world. However, when we are single, or not happy with our current status, the day may be filled with discontent and unhappiness. No one likes to be alone, but sometimes that is the best place to be. Those are the times when we can focus on ourselves. We can learn who we really are and concentrate on becoming who we want to be. Life changes for the better: On those days that we only have ourselves to depend upon, we become stronger. On those days when no one else is around to make us smile , we only have our own thoughts to make us happy. True happiness comes from learning to love yourself and not being afraid to make changes if needed.

A Day in the Life on Jost van Dyke
'Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which we rebuild our life again.' Looking back, some of my fondest memories have been in the British Virgin Islands at Soggy Dollar Bar in White Bay. Sitting underneath the big palm trees in a hammock staring out at the clear, blue Caribbean Sea while enjoying a 'Nilla Killa. Yesterday wasn't one of those days; it was different. I have grown close to many in the Jost community over the past seven years as their close-by neighbor in St. Thomas. It's easy to get to know 1/3 of the island when there is only a population of 300 people.

What I Learned From My Weird Relationship-Non-Relationship
Growing up, I never had a spectacular love life. As much as I watched all of the Disney Channel Original Movies and learned the choreography to High School Musical, it was to no avail. Most of my school years were spent being known as "the other asian girl in our class" or "that girl who is obsessed with band" (and not in the sexy American Pie Presents: Band Camp kind of way. Mostly I had a lot of crushes and was in a few not-quite-dating-but-definitely-not-just-friends (and often a little one-sided) type of moments, or "situationships," as we now call them.

Broken Halos
This really isn't a story, more of I need to get this off my chest. On January 5, 2018 is exactly 9 months you've left us, it also happens, that January 5 is my birthday. It saddens me every day that I don't get to see you or talk to you. It leaves a dark space in my heart that will never regain the glowing bright red it used to be.
