Being Single
Being 41 is not easy. I have gotten to an age where I realize I have wasted a lot of my time; time doing nothing that has gotten me anywhere in life. One of those aspects, where I have wasted, is in the relationship department. Not that I am ashamed at being this age and single without any children. But today, it seems we are defined by our marital status and/or starting a family. Seems like those are the only things that matter in life. That is not true.

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?

“Stop hitting my mommy!” Those words. Those. Words. I will never forget the first time I heard those words. I can remember every single detail from that exact moment. I wish I wasn't able to.

Worst Stereotypes About Single Women
Speaking as a relationship writer who has become convinced that modern dating is toxic, I'll be the first to say that staying single is often a person's best bet. Simply put, we can't trust anyone to be the partner we need them to be, in order to make a relationship worth it.

Dating Advice is A Fraud, Here's Why
When many of us are young we tend to be drawn towards dating advice online. We usually end up taking magazine quizzes, and of course advice from our closest, most trustworthy friends. Playing games and listening to the "three day rule" only makes dating and love a big game. Of course, you do it to win over the one you are interested in and it makes dating fun. However, taking dating advice from others makes you put on this facade of someone you are not. It only wastes your precious time and effort, or you can take it as experience.

Wedding Photos You Must Have Taken
Trying to capture every given moment of your wedding day is a given. You want to remember that day for the rest of your life, in as much detail as you can. And even as wedding trends change year after year, there is a certain evergreenness (if that is a word) your wedding photos need to have, if they are to stand the test of time. You don’t want to have the same photos everyone else has – you want something unique to your wedding alone. You also want something that will not be a bore to shoot, and a chance to have fun with your guests and loved ones, while going through the motions of having your picture taken.
