Beat Around the Bush: A Millennial Concept
Remember the days where absolutely nothing mattered? I’m talking about being six years old and not giving a damn. Life was purely lollipops and rainbows. Well, for the most part that is. The days where you would chase a boy around the playground, and that would be your way of showing your utmost admiration for him. It was always mutually understood. At age nine, I began writing emails. Not just any emails though, long novels about how deeply “in love” I was for whatever boy gave me remotely any attention. Pretty ballsy I’d say. 13 was a time to be alive. I was asked out by a kid in the orchestra room because I told his best friend that I “really liked him.” A direct source. Basically, what I’m trying to get at is this: What the hell happened to ruthlessness of our youth?! Why am I terrified of rejection? Why do I get choked up over the thought of verbally expressing my feelings for someone? So many questions, 21 years, and I still don’t have this shit figured out.

To the Toxic Person in My Life
Today I pray for you. I pray that you find peace in the world, peace within yourself. I pray you can learn to love yourself enough to not tear others down. I hope one day you can be so genuinely confident in yourself and your thoughts that you don’t feel the need to push them on others. One of the greatest feelings is being able to live drama free, even if that means separating yourself from negative people in your life. I pray that you will have the strength to forgive all that have hurt you so you will no longer be angry all the time.

How to Treat Your Soulmate with Love and Affection She Deserves
Your soulmate is, without a doubt, the most important person in your life. She is the one who loves you unconditionally and understands you completely. The one who sees the best in you and always pushes you to become your better self. Though you may be grateful for all the things she provides for you, sometimes it’s hard to express that. This should just encourage you to find ways to show her how much you actually care.

Cheating Men
86 percent of men have been caught cheating according to statistics of 2018. 20 percent of those admitted to it.

Trusting Again After Being Hurt
First, I am so sorry that it has been almost a week since my last post but life has been so crazy and stressful in the last week or two. I honestly had no motivation or creativity to write and felt a little depressed. Here I am, though, back to writing with tons of creativity and longings in my heart for so much more. This topic is so personal to me because if you know anything about me, you know a lot about my horrible past with relationships and friendships. You know how much I have been hurt and also, how much I have allowed myself to go numb to that hurt and bottle it as well as stuffing it under a rug—not anymore, though. I am allowing myself to open the wounds, heal for good, and love again.

Pathological Lies
In my life I have come across a lot of things many different people but this guy was one of a kind. We met through a friend and due to being a good person I chose to be a friend to someone I was warned to not trust. With my good heart I took on a challenge thinking I could be a great friend and change his bad habits. He was a cocaine addict and was suffering from mental health problems, due to past trauma. I didn't think it was such a big deal, until he started making me a fool.

Laying Down the Line in Relationships
I don’t really know how to write this post. I mean, there’s probably a million angles I could take with this, but honestly I’m not sure where to start. Honestly, that’s because I’m still learning how to set boundaries in my life. But what I am sure of is that I know that I have an inconceivable amount of worth, and because of that, I can set the standard for how I let people treat me. Because I know that I have value, on this planet and in the Kingdom of God, I don’t have to let people treat me however they want.

First Date Do's and Don’ts That You Can’t Afford to Mess Up!
We all wish to come across THE right one, as soon as possible, but it’s not always that easy. With our busy schedules and hectic lifestyles, most of us don’t have the time for love. And if you are that part of the population who finds it hard to socialise in parties, events, etc., you have even harder time. But, no worries, as there are certain angels right here on earth, that help you find your correct match.
