Cheaters
It's something no one wants, even if you are one. To be cheated on is the ultimate trust breaker in a relationship. So how do we avoid that person, that situation? Well, this is the way I have found cheating to be. You either are one at heart, or you put yourself in bad situations that can be avoided.

Plus Sized Love
I've never been a petite princess.. like ever! My mother blessed me with thick thighs, cakes, and pies as we like to call them. Ever since I started dating I can never say it's been easy. I guess I was always conscious about my body. But don't get me wrong that never stopped me from crushing on boys and being a little stalker in high school lol. When I had a crush on someone it was bad! I would track when they had certain classes so that I could walk past them in the hallway. I would find out who their friends were, asking them about them casually. But I would never say anything to the person, I admired from afar. I was always afraid, I thought I was pretty shy, but according to my friends, I was bold!

Dating After Abuse #Ctrl
I've always been the person with the 5 year plan. The one who knows what she wants, and the path she will follow to achieve it. As a child I had always been taught to plan ahead, because as the saying goes, "if you fail to plan you plan to fail" or something along those lines. The point is, is that I always had a certain amount of control over my life. What school I went to, what sports I participated in and what direction I wanted to go career wise. Everything seemed so simple, work hard, be organised and you'll be destined for success.

Swipe Left:
Ever wonder why you it seems you are not getting traction on online dating apps? You've created a bio, posted some pics, and sit back and wait for your matches to come flocking in. I mean, you're a CATCH, right???? Maybe so... but perhaps you would never know it from your profile pictures! This is your first impression to your potential match and as the saying goes "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." As a member of the large pool of hopeless romantics out there looking for "the one" or "some fun," here are 5 reasons that quickly prompt me (and I'm sure so many others) to respectfully decline and move on to the next.

It's Okay to Let a Toxic Person Go
I was a sophomore in high school, he was a dreamy senior. (A total cliché, I'm aware.) Without going into full detail, I met him on this app called 'Afterschool'—which basically is a place where people can make posts anonymously about who they like or throw insults at other people. The catch though is that once a name is put out there from a post, the app can generate fake posts using the above mentioned name, and post it. I won't be using real names to protect the identity of these people. So, we can call this guy Kevin. Well, Kevin's name popped up quite a few times about how 'Kevin is so hot' and nonetheless, I was curious. After requesting him as a friend on Facebook, we started to talk. This led to me coming to his house whenever I could. He would give me rides to school, and even invite me to dinner at his house. He was always interested in doing sexual things, but I felt I wasn't ready for that. When he would text me, he would call me 'beautiful' and so on. Though he would always take a long time to text back, and his excuses always came up short, and often. After submitting my complete trust to him, I found out from another girl that goes to my school, that Kevin had been talking to me, her, and two other girls at the same time. And when I mean talking, I really mean taking them places as well, calling them beautiful, and basically the whole, "I'm in a relationship with you but not really because I won't call you my girlfriend, but I will do couple stuff with you."

The Disability Bullies
Back in high school, I was a hot mess from not having medication to help me at all. My family consistently denied me medication all four years of high school. I wish I’d had some so that my moods would have been less painful for non-magickal people to tolerate. My moods were everywhere, I was out of control, and I feel deeply embarrassed that my family just ignored my pleas for medication. I should have gotten myself on SSI but getting from one day to the next was pretty painful for me.
