Being Second Best
Who doesn't like to win? We are wired to be the best we can be and it's a very disrupting feeling to know you're coming in second to someone - especially in relationships. It's a hookup culture, we know that a lot of people are hooking up with more than one person at a time.…
“I Don’t Know” Isn’t An Answer
Republished from 5/21/15 I want to start living a more definite life. I don't know's, maybe's, possibly's and eventually's just aren't cutting it anymore.

Nice Guys Don’t Always Finish Last
