Whether you're solitary by choice or simply unlucky in love, being single is complicated.
My Crush's Sister Didn't like Me?
During my freshman year of high school, I met this guy who we'll call Joseph. He was a really nice person who I was able to befriend because we had mutual friends. Before I knew it, I began to have a crush on him. We hung out during lunch and played the PC version of Smash Bros together.

3 Benefits of Being Single
There's a stigma in our society around being single, as if one is incomplete without a partner. It's often met with a kind of sympathy that suggests there's something terribly wrong with it, and subconsciously we buy into that belief. We find it difficult to appreciate our aloneness, and spend a great deal of time and energy searching for companionship, while at the same time feeling as if we're inadequate without someone to balance us, to fulfill us, to compensate for all the things we feel we're lacking in ourselves. Sometimes we're willing to be with anyone rather than be alone. And so there's such a desperation about it that we don't always choose with discernment. It's like we're in a rush and there's no time to waste.

Single Lyf
Being a 21-year-old basic white girl who is more single than a Pringle, naturally, I am on Tinder. Here is my ultimate guide to Tinder boys from a straight and female perspective, who to stay away from, and who is actually worth replying to (which is pretty much no one).

I Have Forgotten What It Means to Love Myself
When it comes to the subject of men I’ve found myself incomprehensibly inept. Must come with the territory of so-called “daddy issues.” Where others seem to excel, I remain a floundering fish out of water, bouncing around from man to man hoping that the next will hold the key to the chastity belt around my heart. And yet, it seems that for me, finding love is just out of arm's reach.

Put Me First
So, today was an alright day. Yesterday, I got stood up by a guy whom I love. As a result, today was kind of hard. I've noticed that every time I love a guy, I always get hurt. Only, when I get hurt it makes a whole whirlwind for me. My mind goes into this depressive state. Who else has been there?

Now It's My Turn
All throughout school, I had a friend who I trusted with everything. I still do. He was the one person that I knew I could always call or text when I wasn't feeling myself and just needed someone to listen or whenever something amazing had happened. He would always listen and try his best to help, no matter the situation. We talked about anything and everything, ups and downs, family struggles, high school drama, homework, even relationship problems. That last one is the one that makes me a terrible person. See, I knew that he actually had wanted to be more than friends for a pretty long time. He wasn't shy about his feelings and he had told me on multiple occasions how he felt. But I was always hung up on other people who weren't worth my time. And there he was, always ready to listen to my latest failed attempt at a relationship and try to pick me up.

Am I That Hideous and Repulsive?
It seems that whenever I need to think or clear my head, the best thing for me to do is hop in my car and just drive aimlessly. By that, I meant that I don't have any particular destination, but I would like to get anywhere very safely. It is just the fact that my 1992 Jeep Cherokee has become my rolling think tank.
