Love on a Chain
Never thought I would end up in this position. Never would of thought of being here, in this moment, in this time. I was always the good girl, the art fanatic, the nature lover, the smart girl. Smart... I wish I was intelligent when it comes to the relationship love part in life. Relationships and I don't really mix in, we come as one in the beginning and I am the one destroyed at the end. My first love was like any other love, unique in its own way, romantic, but it was also young love. He was 18 and I was 14, oh yeah, I know 'WHAT 4 YEARS!' We had the same birthday just 4 years apart, which was good for me because I didn't have to remember a date other then when we first became official. We spoke about everything as our relationship came more, our future, our family, our future kids, and let's just say we chose the babies names, but young love right? Almost 3 years of that, until we ended when he told me the love he felt was just as best friends and not as more. It broke my heart, causing me to lock myself in my room for half a year until I became active to distract myself, I became involved with sport, soccer was the main which I am proud to say helped me so much.

Turning a New Leaf
There comes a time in everyone's life where we need to close one chapter and create another one. They say when one door closes another opens. There will always be a light at the end of the tunnel but sometimes it feels impossible to rise above and find it. We wait for the world to change around us for too long until we finally realize that it's us that needs to change; only then everything else around you will change. The people we associate ourselves with makes a huge impact on our lives. If we are not happy then we need to change ourselves, the world will not change for us. The universe will work with us but that is only if we put in the work.

The 6 Truths You Wish You Knew Before You Started Dating
Let me get this out of the way first. I am by no means a love guru, I don't have the #relationshipgoals nailed down by any means. I don't completely understand what makes some relationships work and others not. I come from a line of imperfect relationships in my family; infidelity, divorce, lack of communication and other things that get in the way of making relationships work.

Relationship
I am in a relationship with a guy who means the world to me. If you like love stories and thinking about your own, then I think you'll like reading this story. Having a special someone in your life is a gift. My name is Tay and I am dating a man by the name of Jonah. We have been together since eighth grade and are now in college together. We have had a very long ride these past four years. It's been a roller coaster filled with ups and downs, twists and turns. To the outside world and friends around us, we look like the perfect couple. People ask me, "What's your secret? How can you stay with the same person for so long?" All I can say is that we've never fallen out of love and that I'm just a lucky, lucky girl who found her night in shinning armour.

Love is Magical
Love is hard. Love is a commitment. Love is magical. I’m not talking about the kind of magic you’ve seen in the Disney movies when the fairy godmother helped turn Cinderella into a princess. I’m talking about real magic that you can feel deep in your heart when you know that you have found the one with whom your soul loves.

The Moon is Already Full
Why do we assume that when we meet people we connect with (platonic or romantic) that an instant relationship must be formed? That instead of honoring the love shared between each other and the patience it takes to grow more into the exchange, we cling to false ideas of safety in order to temporarily be "fulfilled" or "loved" or "happy"? Relationships don't work that way. Humans don't work that way. You cling to a flower for too long and it dies. You cling to an idea for too long and you go insane. Nothing is guarenteed in an instant, everything must have the space time and energy to grow.

Loving Someone in Prison
Many of us are here looking for support in others going through the same thing if not something similar. We all start with asking the same questions, how are we going to make it without him/her gone. We come to realize that it doesn't matter how long they are gone even if its months, years or even life – we have to all deal with the separation anxiety and that they were ripped out of our everyday life and being placed in a strange and scary place.

To Live & Date in LA
To live and die in LA, it's the place to be as Tupac said it best....maybe to live and to die in LA, yes ...but to date in LA is a definite no! Ask anyone who’s ever lived in LA, they’ll tell you, it’s suicide. Being single in LA doesn't even exist, you're either married or part of a clique, like a Hells Angels singles gang that took you in and under its wing when some asshole broke your heart and left you to drown in your own tears. They took you in and nursed your broken heart back to health with drink binging and club hopping. Each squad is solid, a true team, they are always there for one another and you can be certain, there is never a dull moment.

Love is Blind
It was the night of October 31,2012, I just started at new job as a server at a kosher restaurant. I met him that night and little did I know my life would never be the same. I finished late that night and was so tired, he was waiting outside and I just walked right by him. I had a boyfriend and I wasn’t interested in talking to anyone. At the time, I was working two jobs and the restaurant was my second job. It wasn’t until I started working full time at the restaurant that I really noticed him. By this time, my boyfriend and I were in the middle of a break up after five years together. He was my escape and he was so cute. I felt free when I was around him. He made me feel good about myself and I knew that I needed a friend.

Living With the Narcissist
Mom always told me I was pretty. Prettier than average. She told me to use this to my advantage. I had my first son at the age of 17. Ten days before I turned 18. I would always look at it as though I was somehow more responsible than the next teen mom because “I waited until I was almost an adult.” Eye roll, right?
