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…

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…

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…
