Dating, married, single, divorced, and more. Advice on the relationships you have in life. Dear, Humans..
Your Niche is Your Tribe
This one I dedicate to anyone who has ever felt out of place in life, especially the younger people who are just finding their way. Life can be hard enough when you have the skill set to deal with pressure to fit in, but when you are young or insecure because you can't identify and others verbally say or show you that they refuse to identify with you, where can you turn?

Grieving During the Holidays
When you reflect on your childhood holiday memories, feelings of warmth and love might swell inside you. You might recall the succulent taste of your mom’s turkey or the thrill of ripping the wrapping paper off your gifts from Santa.

A Letter For You: Abusive Relationships and What I Learned About Myself
Dear Incredible Reader, We always want to see the best in people. There's always a part of us that believes if we give it one more shot we are sure to get a different outcome; but that is an ideal that is so far from the truth of the cycle of abuse it makes me sick.

Jealousy in Polyamory
Growing up, I didn’t have a lot of friends. I remember being so possessive of the friends I did have that I would get upset if they hung out with anyone else. I’ve always been that jealous person. I thought it was just a normal character flaw a lot of people had, and that’s true; a lot of people do deal with jealousy and possessiveness, particularly in the polyamorous community. Recently though, I’ve come to realize that I’m not “just a jealous person,” but an insecure human being who can change.

Dating Cleanse
One of my biggest wake ups I had recently is that I noticed dating is no longer exciting to me. It’s become extremely difficult to develop feelings for anyone! I would go on a date, have some good laughs and drinks, say goodbye… or hookup… and then I would lose interest by the next morning. At first, I thought “maybe I just need to stick it out longer, and then my feelings will grow for them,” (like I did with my first long term relationship) but that didn’t work… Instead I grew more annoyed with each guy and didn’t care for them at all.

Things That Men Don’t Understand About Women (And How They Think)
Ladies and gentlemen, it seems like we have a failure to communicate. We might speak the same language, but we definitely don't hear the same things when guys talk and when girls talk. Much of this reason is that guys don't think the same way that girls think, and girls don't think the same way guys think, either.

Dealing with Abuse
It was midnight and he was once again drunk. We are talking one beer after another until a whole thirty pack was gone. Then it seemed like no time had passed before a half bottle of Jim Beam was magically gone. Everything inside of me instantly tensed because I knew what happened when this man drank. There was usually a fifty/fifty chance that things would go south, as in he would have a freak-out moment where he would black out. Usually, he would turn into someone unrecognizable and he would hurt me… mentally as well as physically.
