It’s no secret that I’ve been hesitant when it comes to relationships. After getting hurt by my first big love, I was really unsure how to move forward. When you think someone is “the one” and they turn out to totally be the worst - you start to question your judgment for a little. So…

You Could Have Met Your Future Spouse Before You Even Turned 16
I once read that 82% of people meet their future spouse before they even turn 16. I tried doing my research on this one to find out where it came from and everything was unconfirmed. This is basically a made up statistic. Yet, it resonated with me and sticks with me to this day -…

A Letter To My 34 Year Old Self
I’ve been writing letters to myself on this blog for a while now. When I was 25, I wrote this letter to my 29 year old self. And here I am again, just days away from turning 29. I love looking back at this because I wasn’t exactly hopeful for turning 29. But I can…
The Courage It Takes To End A Relationship
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…

Where I Want To Be In 5 Years
I've been a ~bad blogger~ and have so many broken links on my old blog posts so for the past couple of months I have been slowly going through them and updating them so the Google doesn't hate me. In this quest, I came across this blog post I wrote in 2015 about where I…

“Boyfriend” Sounds Weird
As I get older, I'm starting to dislike the term "boyfriend" more and more. Especially when I'm referring to my boyfriend in a professional setting, it just sounds so juvenile to me. Because in reality, my boyfriend is much more and much different than a boyfriend you'd have as a teenager. We live together, we…
Dating After College
College is a great time to meet the person you're going to marry. You might not date them while you're a freshman or sophomore and still getting the hang of things, but there is a huge possibility you're going to meet the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with. You're…
Women Express Emotions, Men Find Solutions
I was listening to a podcast recently (pretty sure it was Terrible, Thanks for Asking) that started talking about how men and women confront problems differently. It struck a chord with me because my boyfriend and I approach stress in 100% different ways - it often causes our little tiffs into bigger fights because of…

The Pressure Of Being In A Relationship In Your 20’s
Every other week someone I know is getting engaged, buying a house, or getting married. When you're in your twenties, there are three kinds of people in your friend group. The single ones, the ones who met their significant other in high school or college, and the ones who met their significant other after college…
