Relationship tips from a Total Stranger
Have you ever stayed up all night and ugly cried over a relationship that went bad? Maybe you got into a really bad fight with your significant other and just felt like the only way you could keep yourself from literally falling apart was by taking your hands and wrapping them around yourself as if you are physically holding yourself together? That feeling in your chest like you can't breathe. The lump in the back of your throat that is so big you feel like you can't even swallow...

Is Communication That Hard?
So I'm starting to notice something about this century that really makes living a whole lot more difficult: Communication. That being that a lot of people lack the ability to properly communicate their intentions.

Hidden
I won't lie to you. I have never felt more attractive than when I wear a mask. I don't have to worry about my crooked teeth, my acne, my large nose, or my sometimes too expressive smile. I'm able to cast aside the judgement I perceive from strangers and walk among them as another faceless passerby. There's a comfort in anonymity. I've spent the past year, calamities and all, with a strange sense of relief that while the world may be burning around me, at least I don't have to show the feelings of distraught and distrust so openly anymore.

Another decade, a fresh perspective, a new era of self love and acceptance and big goals turning into actions and a crystal clear reality of living out your dreams. Comparing daydreams to reality and our flaws to other people's highlight reels.

7 Features of Emotionally Intelligent People
She was convinced that emotional intelligence was the right answer. I wasn't so sure. Now I can't agree more. It was mid-2018 and I was talking with a friend. It was one of those intense and profound conversations that blur everything around.

What I Learned From My First Committed Relationship
I have been dating my current boyfriend for about 2 years now. He gets the privilege to be my first real relationship. Lucky him! For the record he doesn’t have that much experience over me, only having one real relationship before me. I have had my flirtations and dates but, nothing was ever serious. I never envisioned building a future with those boys.

Half Written Stories
A dozen journals litter the surrounding bookshelves, each with only a few pages tattooed with my thoughts. Where I have tried to capture my imagination in swirls of text that always seem to end with unfinished thoughts and dreams. Each page meant to be a fresh start, a new story, ended up being an obstacle to overcome.
