love
All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
Finding Henry
As the bus arrived that morning, I felt as if this day would be different. Oh, how I wish I was wrong; yet at the exact moment that the thought ran through my mind, the bus splashed through the puddle just four steps away from me at full speed. the once cute maroon business suit I picked out for the day was now soaked with the garbage left by fate. Yet as I lifted my arms to block my face from any flying debris, a briefcase came swinging at what I was sure to hit me square in the face, and instead it jammed my pointer finger so hard from impact I was sure it was broken, thus causing the random hero to remove his briefcase, and my face was, in fact, drenched with dirty gutter water and a flyer for bad Chinese food sticking to my beautifully applied makeup. I then felt his had remove the flyer and begin to pat dry my face with the softest thing I've ever felt. Almost as if he was trying to preserve what was left of my face, I opened my eyes and, to my surprise, he wasn't drop dead gorgeous, but instead average, with a flair for style, considering he was walking around with a silk handkerchief.

Is It Love?
Many people believe in soulmates and god lord, I want to believe so bad. But how can you ever really know he's the one for you? How can you look someone in the eye and assure them that they will be number one for the rest of your existence? I had a plan and it didn't include you. Now I'm having a battle if I should include you or not. I want you here, I want us to succeed, I want to love endlessly, I want to marry my best friend, and I want to have their children. But what if your emotions are too strong even for your own self? What if they're leading you in the wrong path?

Love Languages: The Key to Successful Communication in Relationships
We've all heard it: communication is the key to success in relationships. Communication is an invaluable problem-solving tool, source of positive and constructive feedback, and outlet for essential thoughts and feelings. However, contrary to popular belief, communication isn't just verbal; we express appreciation and affection for our partners in varied forms. As a result, a lot of important messages get lost in translation, which sometimes leads to confusion and conflict.

Exploring the Addictions of Toxic Love
I've got to start out by saying that I'm aware of how toxic my "type" of man is. I've got daddy issues, which generally leads in a beeline direction to the emotionally unavailable rockstar with the cool hair and lanky bod. Give me a jerk with a heart of gold and I'll give you a chain to put around my neck.

Fluorescent Adolescent
It was in the hay day of my 19-year-old reckless freedom that I met a man who I fell in love with. My love laid dormant until the day I decided to reveal my regrets for leaving, quite prematurely I admit, and my desire to return to the home he cleared out in his heart, all for me. I will refer to him as Mr. W.

Random Thoughts
1. So, I know this whole thing just started, but since you already said what ya said, I'll say this: sure we only started this journey just recently, but maybe, if the big man upstairs permits, one day in the future, we will lose the like word and use the love word. Just like there's a lot of instruments in music, there are a lot of girls. However, just like you only need a saxophone for jazz, the only girl I have on my mind right now is the one that I was messaging for the last three hours. However, it felt like a lot longer then that, but lord knows I wasn't looking at the clock tick and tick cuz I was just waiting to see those dots show up and see that dark red one next to your name, and having my face grow a smile. They might say we just kids, but it's our relationship, so if they wanna hate, then one: they just jealous, and more importantly, they really don't matter. Cuz if they ain't you, who are they to talk about our relationship? They can just beat it. I don't care how much money I got if I got the one that makes me smile the most. That's what makes my motion happen. Let's just hope that your mommy and daddy, and older sister, for that matter, like me just like you do, cuz that would just make you smile even more. And I know this sucked, mostly since it's the first time having to use certain words, but I didn't hope this would be the best ever, I'm just hoping that it makes you smile and makes you feel a little bit better.

The Stream of Consciousness
A billowing cloud of smoke rolls off his lips, the tendrils of smoke that escape his breath float weightlessly above his head. I take in all of the small details of his face, as if seeing it for the first and last time. He glances at me and we catch eyes, and that’s all it takes to become lost in the ocean that is my psyche. Does he even realize how gorgeous his eyes are? The way the emerald green blends so flawlessly with the baby blue. One look and they pierce through all of my walls and envelop my soul.
