Date Gone Very Bad
When I’m around my friend Suja, I tend to make bad decisions. We were out one night shooting pool at a bar, and as usual, we attracted attention. Two single girls—one Asian and one Indian—who were actually good at the game playing alone are bound to catch a few men’s eyes.

What Polyamory Has Taught Me
I have been married twice and divorced twice. Why is that? I could go on about who was at fault. Was it me or them? But I won’t go there. Plus I’m relatively sure I’ve done that in another story. But one thing I can say with certainty is that there was little to no trust in either marriage. As a touring musician, it would have made a lot of sense to marry women who had no problem with having an entertainer for a spouse. I should have considered that, but instead, I was blinded by the booty. Or rather, booties. So anyway, due to that lack of trust and honesty in the marriages, I rarely if ever felt okay with being my authentic self in the relationships.

54 Thoughts That Cross a Woman's Mind When She Is Cheated On
Thoughts That Go Through Your Head When You Get Cheated On When we are cheated on, we are completely overcome by a million different emotions. That’s honestly the hardest part of being cheated on; the way our mind processes it. Of course it’s hard to come to the realization that someone you love has betrayed you in such a drastic way. But what’s worse is the images our minds create and the whiplash of feelings we have to feel. Which explains why it’s common for people to go get completely hammered when their heart gets broken. We just want to shut our minds the fuck up for a few minutes.

For All the Good Times
Where do I start? I’ve been in a relationship now for going on 4 years. As a matter of fact, it will make four years in March. We’ve had our issues, believe me, we’ve had our share but it’s looking like we just might make it through this time together. The reason why I say just might make it is this.

An Open Letter to My Ex
Oh, the things I want to say, the anger, the questions, the answers I need, the why’s, the what if’s & the dreams that never came true. I know full well I’ll never get any of these & if you ever read this, I hope that maybe you can call some time? Have some peace from the past? As much crap that happened between us, you’re the only one I want to forgive, the only person I’d ever sit down with & just lay it all out on the table. If you read this, say Hi some time?

I Am Not a Party-Harder
A typical Friday evening. We are enjoying a beer in the living room with my housemates. Suddenly and quite expectedly, one proposes to go to a bar and continue having fun there. All are in, except me. I don’t feel like going, especially when I want to get up early the next morning.

Agony
Every night she tried to sleep, woken after a mere few minutes by nightmares, nightmares of burning and pain. She would lay there, eyes wide staring into the bleak blackness of the night, her mind racing and absent simultaneously. How she yearned for it to stop, to feel some pleasure in life, some burning fire that did not scar her heart but instead enraptured it in a flaming hug of passion and love.
