single
Whether you're solitary by choice or simply unlucky in love, being single is complicated.
I Never Knew...
...I would feel this way about someone who could annoy me so much and who could be so sweet to every damn girl. I didn't realize that I was falling for you until one of my friends made me realize that the feelings were there... That what I thought was fake and unreal was actually true... It kind of hurts that I have to pretend every day now that I don't feel anything for you because when you found out you just left me... You treated me differently, you ignored me, you stopped caring about me, and you stopped talking to me...

Thoughts on Women: Journal 1-18-18
Women are awesome. Awesome in the true sense of the word’s definition. They leave me awestruck at the things they do, overcome and think about. From what I have observed about women (I am a man so I could just be talking out of my ass) they have a sense of equality amongst themselves. It takes both a man’s and a woman’s genetics and sexual reproductive organs to make a child, BUT women literally harbor life inside of them. They are one with their child, nourishing them until the day comes when their child enters into the world. On this day women go through unimaginable, excruciating pain, some even lose their lives; but they give life to a beautiful kids who are full of promise and potential to be good...

10 Things To Do On Valentine's Day If You're Single
Hello, fellow single individual! Are you aware of the upcoming "holiday" approaching oh so slowly? No? Then you're pretty good at ignoring the heart-shaped balloons, dozens and dozens of boxes of chocolate, and "Roses on sale" signs in every corner in every area in every city. But, yes, Valentine's Day is just around the corner and every time someone mentions the holiday, you can hear a groan somewhere far away in the distance by a single person. It's quite clear why single people are in utter disgust by the holiday filled with love and joy—they don't have a significant other to share it with.

Here's What You Should Do on Valentine's Day If You Are Single
Yes yes, we know, Valentine's Day sucks when you're single. You succumb to the scrutiny of your mother every year around this time about grandchildren and when she is going to get any. The glowing reality of red hearts and pink roses are everywhere, reminding you that you're still, after a number of failed attempts at love, very, very single. Or perhaps it was a choice—then by all means! But it doesn't mean that Valentine's Day will be any less frustrating.

26 and Still Up in the Dating Life Mix…Wait, How Do I Date?
Okay okay, I know I'm not the only one. You get on Instagram and five pictures in, I lied, maybe two, someone out there just got engaged! And in the back of your mind, it's always the one person you least expected. Then you're like damn, when am I ever gonna get engaged or married? Onto the next social media of Snapchat because you just realized after scrolling after so many photos on Instagram you realize you started to compare your life and demean yourself for a moment (while also being jealous of everyone's travel pics). Snapchat is cool and all, but it tends to be the same stuff. Someone is out eating, someone is at the gym, someone out there is taking selfies or on some random adventure. But then oh wait, there it is, your friends are out somewhere and you just felt like you weren't invited. The loneliness feeling continues to build. After two hours of scrolling, your eyes are tired and the feeling of missing out and being utterly alone just resides internally. Ahhh, the single life. The life where it is fun because you don't have to tell anyone where you are but sometimes it just feels like there is a void. Maybe it's because ever since we were young the thought of having to be with a significant other was ingrained in our minds.

Almost, Well, Could've Been
I don't have an instinctual knack for story telling. The running joke in my family is if it's my turn to tell a story, grab some popcorn and get comfortable because it's going to be a while before I finish. I love including minor details in my stories, like what someone was wearing, the way they looked at me, how cold it was outside, et cetera, et cetera.

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 Year in the Life: Cheating
2 months into my last relationship, I told him that I had been cheated on once before and it broke my heart' he replied with a simple, "I would never do that to you, I don't have time for that." This was May 2016. I would find out in January 24, 2017 he had cheated on me.

Why I Took Off to Missouri
One of the reasons why I took off to Missouri was so I wouldn’t have to see or be reminded that you were with a guy who was pretty much the opposite of me, and who didn’t realize he was the luckiest guy. I know how you deserve to be treated. That’s why when he wasn’t, I played the boyfriend role. That’s why when you and him needed anything, I was there because you deserve someone who would do anything for you. That’s why when he owed me probably 100 bucks, I agreed to food at the mall just so he’ll have to take you out. If I’m being honest even before Daryl told you the truth I knew my role would always be the big brother and best friend.
