My Addiction
Tall and Built. Kind brown eyes. Hands of a worker. But I suppose they’re not in the sense that you’re thinking. Maybe I should say... “restless hands,” always ready for what’s next. He can’t just be in the moment — way too worried about what he might miss out on.

Hopefully, Dreams Don't Come True (Part 1)
It was only the two of us since we left Lizton. It’s a terrible town to fall in love in because no one loves in that town. The men are in love with the fields, the crops, and the machines to plant the crops into the fields. The women are in love with the bigger towns that surround Lizton – Brownsburg, Avon, Zionsville, Danville, and Indianapolis. But no one loves there. “The only Lizton in the world!” the signs say, welcoming you into what you think would be a magical town experience. "The only Lizton in the world?" you think. How interesting! Of course, the town is anything but. The town consists of 366 acres of run-down and once-was. Within that 366 acres are 497 people thinking that they either wish that they could’ve done better or thinking there’s nothing better. The latter is not how we saw it.

What Men Hate About Relationships
What do men hate most when they are in a relationship with someone? It pretty much depends on who the man is with. If the women is self-sufficient and confident in everything she does, than the man is pretty darn happy with who he is with. On the other hand, if he is in a relationship with someone who is always checking in with him to see what he is up to and nags at him constantly about everything, chances are he's miserable in that relationship.

Beginning Life...Again...From Two Feet Below
So, I married the first time young. I was just 20. The thing is, she was an able-bodied person, like most of the few people in my world with the exception of a few crips that included my older brother, who died in '00. I'll get to that later.

Helping the Single Person in Your Life
There's nothing wrong with wanting to stay single. Sadly, there are a lot of people around the world who feel like being single is the worst thing ever. This leads to the thought that they must "help" you no longer be single by trying to set you up with those they deem worthy of dating you. Of course, there's a key consultant missing from this process most of the time: you. Be it friends, neighbours, family, or even just the stranger who has seen you a few times and noticed that you weren't with anyone, stopping your single life is something that people feel they are tasked to do even when not asked.

Letting Go
Sometimes the hardest thing one must do is let go. Whether it is a relationship, friendship, or even a family member. I can admit that it’s easier said than done. Sometimes we love people who are just toxic to us, and no matter what we do, we cannot change their ways. I’m not saying to change them into someone else. What I mean is that the people that are toxic are the ones that use poisons to escape reality, such as pills, alcohol, coke, heroin, etc. They must be the ones that want to change. I learned this the hard way. I thought that I could show the people I love that they are so much more, but I felt like failed because they don’t want to change. They like the poisons they consume, and because of this I had to do what is best for me. For once in my life, I was able to say no and to say goodbye even though it was hard for me to do so.
