Relationships are a fragile thing. One string becomes frayed, it gets snagged, and the whole thing unravels into your hands. You never saw it coming. Basically since the start of this blog, I've expressed my fears on settling. Especially settling for someone you don't really love. Settling for less than fireworks, all in romance, and…

The Struggles Of Being Over-Eager
The trouble with people who are over-eager is that we are often over-everything. We are over-thinkers, we are over-dramatic, we over-romanticize, we are overwhelmed. So getting too excited about things just comes with the territory. Because one small possibility opens up so many doors for us. We non stop think about how this could work…
How I Learned What Relationships Are Really Supposed To Be Like
My introduction to relationships didn't exactly start off on the right foot. I know we learn a lot from our households growing up, and mine just wasn't really ideal. I don't remember much lovey-dovey stuff happening after I was a kid so for many of my formative years I didn't really know a lot of…

Chivalry Isn’t Dead – It Just Changed
Republished from 5/30/15 I often hear women talking about the way they would like to be treated by men. They want "old school" romance where they're picked up at their front door, their car door is opened for them, and their meal is paid for. They want their guy to be chivalrous - a knight in shining…
I’m Not Sold On Relationships
I'm not sold on relationships. I'm not sold on the idea of only being with one person for the rest of your life. Because I'm only in my 20's and feel like I've been 10 different people already. How can someone tolerate that much growth in their self, let alone someone else? Plus all I've…
Dating Is Depressing
We're often told that all good things must come to an end. Which just means that every beginning has an ending. So it's easy to look at dating with a negative viewpoint instead of a positive one. This is especially true if you have gone through heart break. Every relationship comes to a break up.…
I Don’t Know What It’s Like To Be In Love
I often read love stories and wonder how the hell authors come up with them. They fill the pages with this feeling that can jump right into the reader, but it's a feeling many of us have never even experienced in real life. Novels about being in love portray this unreal romance that overcame all…
