Taking Your Power Back After Twin Flame Separation
I'm part of something, it is bigger than me, it's bigger than romance, it has shown me that we are more than this flesh and blood existence and although I previously thought I was spiritual and open-minded, this, this twin flame experience has blown my heart and my soul so wide open I feel like a totally different being altogether.

I Met My Husband in First Grade
I mean, obviously, we didn't get married at six years old. I did have a crush on him, though. I distinctly remember writing down a "List of Cute Boys" when I was in first grade. Joe's name was number two. Number one? Aaron Carter.

Starry-Eyed Infatuations
Crushes, we've all had one. If you're saying you have never had a crush, chances are, you are probably lying. As cuffing season approaches, it is no secret that people are filled with an even greater desire for a relationship. Crushes can be absolutely mortifying, nerve-wracking, but also pure wonder. They either make you feel like your heart is gonna burst out of your whole damn body or as if you're in pure ecstasy! Now you're probably wondering, why is Kylee writing this? Truth is, I have gotten a few requests before to do a piece on crushes, so here I am. Look, crushes suck. They fill up your head with false expectations of a teenage dream, or in my case, scenes with Audrey Hepburn, like that one scene in Roman Holiday where she's riding on a Vespa with Joe Bradley, played by Gregory Peck, or especially the final scene in Breakfast at Tiffany's where she finally finds her missing cat, Cat, and makes up with her lover, Paul Varjak, played by George Peppard.

The Story of the Boy Who Changed Me
I never have the best of luck with relationships so I just have given up on trying to find someone in my life to keep me happy, until one night when everything changed. Last January I got a notification on my phone about a message someone sent me on Instagram, and of course I didn’t think anything of it besides the fact that it’s probably one of my friends sending me a funny video that they saw but I was wrong. It was in my requested section, and I saw his name on the screen. That name that I won’t ever forget and to this day brings me happiness and sadness all at once. We started just having a random conversation, and of course with the typical “hey, can I have your snap?” So, then he started commenting on all my snaps and just texting me off there for a while. I never thought anything of it; I just thought of him as another boy. As we began texting more and more and finally one night decided to FaceTime each other, it hit me that I actually have feelings for him and he felt the same way. We instantly connected and our first “meeting” over FaceTime wasn’t awkward at all. He is just as social as me if not even more than I am, same sense of humor as me, and basically just the same personality almost.

Can You Really Love Someone You've Never Met?
Growing up, my life had never really been considered pleasant. I had a mother in and out of drugs and a father who didn't care. It has always been my brother and me against the world. Then 6th grade came and that school year is when my whole way of life changed just from one snapchat. That 10-second image of a brown-eyed boy with dark fringed hair and a smile which lit the room up had me falling head over heels. As we started talking and learning about each other was when I later found out he lived 583 miles away at that moment I felt all hope was lost. Turns out that wasn’t the only inconvenience; he also had a companion. Later that week he Snapchatted me again asking for my number and at the time nothing else was going through my head other than I was in shocked that a guy like him wanted to talk to someone like me. We talked every day, and I fell more for him every day.

I, being a married lesbian, have witnessed first hand how uncomfortable it is to live in such a divided state.

How I Loved Someone, Without Loving Myself First
"You can't love someone until you love yourself" is a phrase that has always haunted me. It left me growing up, believing I could never find actual love. As a depressed teen living with a father they always had a rocky relationship with, I told myself I was doomed. I lived under the strict rule that I couldn't date until I was eighteen. Once I knew that, I knew that my childhood would be bland in comparison to those dating freely. After some time, I did not want to date. I saw all of the trouble and drama it caused my friends, and I was happy to opt out. I had a few long distance relationships with online friends, all of which I'm still friends with today. I had tried twice in person. One I'm still friends with, one I haven't spoken with since, and I'm content with that. After those failures, I thought the old saying might be true, but then I met this huge nerd.
