I've been skeptical about monogamy for a while now. I used to be very gung-ho on love, having a family, and living happily ever after. But the older I got, the more unrealistic it seemed. We are constantly changing. It's hard for me to fathom that with all the changes we go through, we will…
The boy who told you he'd text you when he was leaving that morning but never did? He sucks. The girl that told you she loved you but then dumped you to get back together with her ex? Yes, she sucks. But after all is said and done, not everyone sucks. We all eventually get…
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…
A huge part of entering a new relationship is the feeling of "wow, I've never felt like this before." It's a blossoming love that doesn't compare to your old love or old relationships.

I think we all experience love differently. I see it every day, there is no one way to love someone. And I'm not just talking about family love vs. friends love vs. marriage love - I'm saying that every relationship and every person who is in love does it differently. My first big love was…
I was listening to a podcast recently (pretty sure it was Terrible, Thanks for Asking) that started talking about how men and women confront problems differently. It struck a chord with me because my boyfriend and I approach stress in 100% different ways - it often causes our little tiffs into bigger fights because of…
