Whether you're solitary by choice or simply unlucky in love, being single is complicated.
Single in my twenties and Happy About It
I ended a two-and-a-half-year relationship in the last bit of 2020. I was single for three weeks before that relationship started, when I ended a year long relationship. I’m now twenty-one and single for the first time since I was seventeen. Even before then, I managed to be dating someone short-term around Valentine’s Day every year, since I was fifteen. I think I only got flowers from a guy once in that entire time.

Mission To Say "I Love You" More
As a single, childless woman, I don’t hear the words “I Love You” very often. Barely at all, not to brag. It’s not that I’m un-loved. I know I am. I have friends and family that send me gift cards every holiday. Sometimes people on Facebook hit the heart button instead of thumbs up. There’s a general hint of love in my life, but it’s rarely vocalized.

The Last Rose of Summer
“ACHOOO!” If I were a sidekick (because let’s face it, librarians wouldn’t make good super heroes), this would be the tagline: Here comes Snot Man and his trusty sidekick, Tissue Man! Saving the city from allergies, one tissue at a time! Here I was saving the world from allergies, but who would save me when I succumb to hay fever?

"No Rewind"
It was only 6:11 pm but it felt like 8 pm. I've been working my ass off in this factory since 5 am. Due to high demand of the all electric vehicle the company has all of us working over time. Break are short and lunch is swift then its back to the assembly line. Man, I'm so tired but I cant take a day off nor can I fail my daughter.

How Do You Forgive Your Abusive Ex?
How do you forgive your abusive ex? I've been wondering for years after going through several stages of emotions when thinking back on my four year relationship with an abusive man. I was with him for so long because I hadn't yet realized just how horrible things were. He would apologize and admit to being an a-hole, so I thought everything was okay, even when it happened over and over again. It wasn't until a year after we broke up (and stayed best friends) that I realized just how wrong and toxic the relationship (and friendship) were.

Hit on another’s partner. Right or wrong?
I will say that this is a main problem in single life and relationships. I know for fact that the person who get cheated on alway put their anger on the person the loved one was cheating with but I think that’s wrong. Your partner was the one who cheated, the other person was single. So I have two different scenarios I want to talk about here.

Being a single mom in a pandemic.
As the title suggests, I'm a single mom. My ex and I split about a month or two ago. It's been a rough couple months and also a happy time. I have been learning a lot about myself and learning a lot of new skills. As the picture above shows, I've started doing more photography lately. As a way of coping and helping me.

Use It or Lose It
I know I'm not alone when I say COVID-19 has completely derailed my sex life. I'm well aware that this is pretty small potatoes when it comes to the scope of COVID-related predicaments. I've been lucky so far this year; the COVID-related challenges I've faced have been relatively mild. I did get laid off for about six months, but I got by on savings and unemployment. A few family members and friends contracted COVID, but they recovered just fine. All things considered, lack of sex just isn't that bad.
