All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.

Love at a Bus Stop
I love my boyfriend. I’ve been with him for 5 1/2 months and it’s been great. We have some challenges like every normal relationship does. Here’s how our story starts: we met each other April 26 2018. (Disclosure, it was 5 days after his 23rd bday) We met at a bus stop in Baltimore, when we were both off of work, and the moment we laid eyes on each other was just magic. Let me get into detail about what I mean. A couple of minutes before meeting him, I originally was at another bus stop. I was there smoking a blunt and talking to cops and didn’t want to get in any trouble, the cops just seemed too nice), so I left and went to the next bus stop to roll another blunt. As I was looking around to make sure I was safe, I locked eyes with Joseph. Now while we were locking eyes, he was trying to tell me that security guards were coming without words. I smiled at him because it was so cute how he was trying to protect me without knowing me. After the security guards left we started talking and rolling up blunts and just getting to know each other while buses just past by us. So we continued talking and smoking and finally got on the bus. (Another disclosure, I found out he lived up the street from me).

A Love Letter Every Woman Deserves to Read
Do you feel like you are just not appreciated the way you want to be? Do you feel like you are not receiving the love that you deserve? Do you feel unbearably empty when something doesn't work out the way you want it to?

Is Love Real?
During my freshman year of college, I noticed one thing. In college, there are a lot of college students who are sexually active, and I didn't fit in well. I have a strong belief that you wait until after marriage before becoming intimate with your significant other for personal reasons. When I joined the dance team at my college, I heard from several members of my team say, "Love isn't real." Now, this stuck with me for my own reason, and that reason was simply that I didn't agree with that statement.

The Call
A few years ago I was in a very toxic relationship. I let him cheat on me, call me derogatory names, and control me. He even stormed out of my parents' house on Christmas Day in front of my entire family while I laid on the floor sobbing uncontrollably. It was then we decided to "take a break." Mind you, looking back, I don't know why "taking a break" was the decision I made, but you do do a lot of dumb things in your early 20s.

Take a Bite
My lover comes to me at noon. He is my height and heavier than me, a bit of a teddy bear around the middle. He has short, groomed hair like salt and pepper and those dark eyes. Those dark O’Higgin eyes, like the rest of his family, that bore into you when they look at you. He greets me at the door with an Irish wool cap on his head and a full raincoat with the collar turned up. It’s raining and he looks like an old man in a way, but he is only 40. I love this about him. I don’t know why because sometimes he can be so annoying, but this gentleman that treats me with care is something I love.

He Doesn't Know
He is insecure but I don't know why he would be. He doesn't need to be someone he isn't to mask the real sides of him because he is perfect to me the way he is and I wouldn't want to change a single thing about him. He lights up my world like nobody else. He doesn't seem to know but he is the most handsome guy in the world if only he could see himself through my eyes he would understand why I want him so desperately in my life.

Oh, the Idiot You Are Today
You are going to start off with a very basic belief of what your parents tell you. And that's it for the first years of your life. But don’t worry, you won’t remember much of this later anyways.

The Mistakes Made
I've made a mistake. A grave mistake.... I have done something that I don't even agree with. For years there has been someone who I loved, but we always narrowly missed one another. Now, in all fact, our time has come and it has gone. But as of late, we have been selfish, and deceitful. This man does not belong to me, and probably honestly will never belong to me. I will not elaborate on that but we shouldn't have taken the time that we did.

Gender and Sexuality
The other day I was informed by my community, that there was a new curriculum within our school system that teaches about many different genders and sexual preference. I honestly couldn’t believe it, but it’s real. Very real. When I was in school, it was hard enough to focus on Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, let alone studying the new concepts of gender. I’m all for people identifying with a certain group or culture. You can be anything you want to be, but as far as I’m concerned, it shouldn’t be presented to students in a way that they question their preferences or their gender. I have a teenager that comes home from school questioning their ‘identity’ and sexual preference. I find this unfair because in all honesty, it makes absolutely no difference to me. It is a big source of worry for my child though, and that’s troubling.

Love
LOVE The word LOVE is just 4 letters. It is tossed around without meaning by most people. You’ll see it on Instagram “ily” and “OMG LOVE YOU” written by total strangers on other people’s posts. It almost has no meaning in the digital world. I’m no saint when it comes to that, I do it too. It is when you leave the digital world and enter the real world where that word “LOVE” becomes one of the most powerful words in our language. Think about it, people have killed for it. Some have killed themselves because of it. People search their whole lives for it and some are lucky to find it, while others aren’t. Some are afraid of it because it can carry with it another 4 letter word: “HURT.”

Unconditional Love, Vulnerability, and Authenticity (Pt. 1)
I wish you were a little more...I wish you didn't act so...Interesting isn't it, common phrases we hear every single day. We spend most of our lives listening to the ways in which other people wish we were. Authenticity seems a lot like a buzz word these days, but to be honest it might be the only word. I think life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness may be a little misquoted. I think if we spent less time focusing on what we should be doing and more on what makes us feel alive, the happiness and successful relationships would be at our fingertips. Without vulnerability, can we ever be truly in a trusting, honest relationship? Without our partner knowing who we are, can we be happy? Love, unconditional love, what does that even mean and does it even matter?
