So here are all the basics you should probably know before reading. First things first: I've never dated anyone. I've never been in a relationship. I've never felt loved by anyone other than relatives. And I've never taken much interest in girls.

Haunted
She sat before the large, opened casket as tears slowly streamed down her face. He lie still, his hands folded over his stomach and his eyes closed. She watched him cautiously, waiting to see the steady rise and fall of his chest. He's not breathing, Amelia, she thought to herself. He's dead. Her mother wrapped her arm around her waist and heaved a sigh as she rested her head on her mother's shoulder and closed her eyes.

Open Letter to the Boy Who Didn't Deserve Me
They say being in love with one person while you’re dating someone else is wrong. I agree with this statement, but I also have done that very thing.

Signs That You're Not a Priority to Him

The Art of Being Single
Second to how old are you, "why are you single?" is the least favorite question I get asked constantly. What is the obsession with relationships I often wonder.

Yes, I know those people in relationships sometimes wish to be single, but the desire soon passes at the thought of being alone.

Why We Decided to Elope
When my boyfriend asked me to marry him, it was the best day of my life so far. It was so intricately planned; full of surprises and romance, not to mention the fact that I was, and have been, head over heels in love with him since the day we met.

A Chance Encounter - Part 2
After about an hour of driving we finally made it to the convention center downtown. We parked in the lot closest to the entrance and headed inside. “Wow! Can you believe we’re actually here?!” Kaitlyn’s excitement was starting to be contagious. I felt like I just might enjoy the day after all. “Kait, where is Jack’s meet & greet?” Abbie asked.

Seasonable
With leaves falling everywhere and the wind getting sharper, I tend to think of him more. Snow and all its different variations, sugar with a little coffee and cream, checkered pajama bottoms, all of it ties back to him. I tell myself yearly that I have to let him go, that he can't consume my thoughts every day of every season. But it seems the only freedom I have from him is the summer.
