Life's Unexpected Visit With Change
No two days are ever the same. Life is ever changing, sometimes knocking us to the ground in disbelief, anxiety and anger. We are never truly prepared for the seemingly unwarranted modifications to our daily routines; but life’s changes are inevitable, so we must learn to deal with them with our heads fixed to our necks and shoulders and with the right attitude. Denying change will not eliminate the change. Therefore, we need to be quick on our feet, yet approaching the alteration with a kind of clandestine mindfulness to manipulate or trick the negative, looming effects of the change.

There Was a Girl
Am I a good person or am I faking really well? This is something I ask myself everyday. A lot has happened this summer and I don't know where to start. I lost the one person I knew I could trust with anything and everything. My best friend, my lover and the one who once told me that I was a good person. She was elegant and sophisticated and more than I could have ever asked for. Let's just say my 18-year-old body didn't quite know how to handle it all. This women, this unbreakable, beautifully complicated, scarlet redhead with the perfect hint of a British accent of a women, trusted me. Let's break down how I messed it all up.

Dear Thomas
Dear Thomas, There are a plethora of words in the English language, words that consist of an even larger number of letters that we attribute certain sounds to. Sometimes I wonder how twenty-four different shapes can be combined in various patterns to create things that can make us happy or sad and the array of emotions in between. What additionally strikes me is how powerful these words can be and how much pain they can inflict on us and our relationships.

A Date, Intimacy, and a Police Car
I was dating a guy who was my best friend first. He and I dated for nine months, and he was older than me by a year. Our relationship was fun, but there were moments that made me feel like our relationship wasn’t going to last. Whenever I would try to tell him that I loved him, he would call being in love “foolish,” but beg me not to break up with him. He also thought that he was smarter than me because of his age and the fact that his mother was a teacher. He also walked around the high school with arrogance because his father was the associate football coach, and a former city councilman in our town. Plus he could not stand the fact that he lost being valedictorian in his graduating class to a girl. The red flags were everywhere, but I was young and dumb.

Relationship Advice From My Uber Driver
I know this is going to come as a shock to many of you, but dating as a millennial is next to impossible. “There’s plenty of fish in the sea,” they say. Except what “they” don’t know is that the sea is actually full of fuck boys running from commitment, or good guys who have already found the one they are ready to settle down with. And if you happen to stumble upon a guy you think you might want to get to know, sooner or later you find out they are one or all of the following: too clingy, emotionally unavailable (and let me tell you, I’ve had my fair share, so I know the sea is full of them), too immature for a relationship right now, or he needs to find himself and is leaving to go travel for five months. So, after we eliminate all of those guys, what's left?

A Love Story, a Sad Love Story
I loved him... I had never felt what love was until he came along. It all began at the beach... One night we went out with our friends and had some drinks at the beach. We spent most of the night talking to one another. He was my neighbor so he offered a ride home and I accepted. On our way back, he had his hand on my lap, and before he dropped me off he kissed me. The next morning I woke up and saw our messages. I was confused and called him. Since that day we started to fall for one another. We spent Christmas and New Years together, meeting each other’s friends and family, and oh I loved it. He told me he loved me after two weeks of dating and I said it back even though I didn’t mean it but I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. I started to fall for him, so very deeply, but he started messing up... After a month he told me he was confused and got drunk and had sex with one of his exes, left town with his friends, got into an argument with me, and danced with another girl at a club, took pictures of her sitting on him, and slept on the same couch while naked. Supposedly nothing else happened, but?! Two months later his other ex called him and he kept meeting with her until they kissed. Three months after, he got confused again and went back to his recent ex and cheated one more time. Keep in mind I kept letting him into my life and forgiving him. I loved him and wow, man, that was true love.

Please
He noticed the light was on inside when he fumbled his key out of his pocket and slid it in the lock. He smiled, wondering why Sayo was still awake but grateful that she was. He opened the door and she was stood there in her favourite silk dressing gown which was loosely tied around her waist, her hair tied up in a satin scarf, her arms akimbo.
