Break ups can be different depending on what stage of your life you're in. When you're in high school, break ups are over-dramatized and earth shattering. In college, they're the thing that turns you towards things you might have not done without a broken heart. After college, they make you evaluate your life. Because when…
When break ups happen, I think the person who did the breaking up is often overlooked. The person who got broken up with must be so shattered, must need tons of support - but, no one stops to think about how hard it really is to break up with someone. It takes a lot of…

I recently wrote about how in my current relationship I learned that you don't need to be alone in order to grow. It was an idea I was obsessed with after my last break up. And in part, it was true. From age 16-20 I was in a relationship that consumed my whole entire world.…

I haven't had contact with any of my exes in a long time. Luckily, I don't think any of them care about my blog anymore because I know they'd just be tickled to know I still think about them sometimes. Of course I do, how could I forget? I still think of the time I…
We always talk about the normal milestones of life. You walk, you talk, you go to school and you graduate. You get a job, get married, have a kid, retire and the end. But no one ever really talks about those weird milestones in life that everyone seems to hit around a certain age that…
