I'm not sure why being single seems like it's the end of the world. I guess no matter how hard I looked at it, no one looked as happy when they were single as they did when they were in a relationship. There was a good chunk of time for me when being single was like torture.…

Accepting The Love You Think You Deserve
Once upon a time I got dumped and just did not know how to deal. I felt like I had failed the relationship, my boyfriend, myself. I thought I didn't really deserve to fall in love again - like I had missed my chance. And time and time again I was thrown into dating scenarios where…
When Is It Over?
Sometimes, due to human nature, we just have a problem with ending something we've gotten comfortable with. Even though we know what we're doing isn't right for us, it would just be more of a hassle to learn to live a new way. I've done it before. I lived a life where I was…
The Internet Is Making Us Lonely
Likes, favorites, retweets, comments, and all those weird emotion things Facebook just added. We live for instant gratification. It's not because we're selfish, it's because of the Internet. It's because we not only have to look great in person but we also have to look great online. There is more than one impression to make…

Forgetting Not Forgiving
The phrase goes: forgive and forget. Stop feeling the resent you feel towards someone and put it in the back of your mind. That person's mistake that caused you anger or hurt is gone forever and you move on with your life. I've never really been one to forgive because a lot of people ask…
Getting Hurt vs. Hurting Someone
No one wants to get hurt. No one wants to put their heart on the line when there's a possibility of it getting smashed. Unanimously, we can all agree that we do not want our hearts broken. But when it comes to breaking someone else's heart, there is so much less thought put into it. We…
Let It Roll Off Your Shoulders
I'm not really a "let it go" kind of person. You can pretty much ask anyone I've ever dated, they're probably like why the heck does Rosie still reference me in some of her blog posts when we broke up almost 10 years ago?! Things just stick with me, I wish they didn't. I get…
Stop Hating Your Ex
Not right this second - but think about it. Hate is the easiest emotion to come across when you've been hurt. It's the only way to truly feel towards someone who just crushed everything you believed in for so long. When someone initially cheats on you, breaks up with you, or wrongs you in a…
