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…
It happens to the best of us, we put up a wall and we have no idea how to knock it down. Someone along the way hurt you enough or broke your heart enough for you to start building brick by brick. An indestructible shield around yourself so that no one could get through like…
Ghosting (verb): The act of suddenly ceasing all communication with someone the subject is dating, but no longer wishes to date.
