The trouble with people who are over-eager is that we are often over-everything. We are over-thinkers, we are over-dramatic, we over-romanticize, we are overwhelmed. So getting too excited about things just comes with the territory. Because one small possibility opens up so many doors for us. We non stop think about how this could work…

You Can’t Have It Both Ways
I'm not really a forgive and forget kind of person. More specifically, I have a hard time forgetting. As an overthinker, the things I do and the things other people do to me really stick with me. And if someone hurts me, it stays with me for years and years. I've encountered a certain type…
Dating Sucks But Dating Your Ex Is Worse
If you haven't dated in a while, it is very comparable to trying to find a job. Lots of feelers going unanswered, dates that feel like job interviews and rarely go anywhere. It's exhausting to continue to put yourself out there with no reward. It sucks. So it's easy to look for the easier option…

Why We Plan On Eloping
I threw tradition out the window a long, long time ago. Our engagement was anything but traditional. No down on one knee, no surprise, no diamond that would put us in massive debt. I wanted to do it our way, on our terms. I just don't care about other people's opinions anymore. I truly don't…
Making The First Move
Guys deserve a lot of credit for making the first move. It's just what is expected in society, that guys will approach a girl first. They'll ask for their number and have to make the phone call. They ask her to dance or out on a date. It's mostly all up to the guy to…
Looking Out For Yourself Vs. Being Selfish
I was in a relationship once where I was always looking out for him. Looking for ways to help him succeed, to make his life easier. And in the same breath, I was always changing myself for him. Forcing myself to like that he moved away for his job when I wasn't allowed to move…

So You Want To Move In With Your Significant Other
