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…
Forgetting How To Be Vulnerable
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…

Unintentional Asshole
Republished from 2015 No matter how much you want someone to change, the truth is they probably won't ever change. They won't ever become the person you thought they had the potential to be, especially if they were content in their ways before they met you. Whether it be a guy or a girl, some…
