Warning Signs
I want to preface this by saying that I am writing in the first person to more accurately tell my story. This is also the first time I am telling my story from start to finish. I would not normally tell such a personal story on the internet, but I think it is an important lesson that everybody, young and old, should know. I have learned from my mistakes, and I am happy to have made it through this ordeal, but it very well could have crippled me. This happened during my junior to senior year of high school. I am writing this a year later, now in college. While I have moved on, and my life is exponentially better now with a wonderful, almost saintly new boyfriend, this is a story that will haunt me forever. I know a lot of people have or had it worse than me, but I would rather others not make the same mistakes that I have.

Loving Someone in Prison
Many of us are here looking for support in others going through the same thing if not something similar. We all start with asking the same questions, how are we going to make it without him/her gone. We come to realize that it doesn't matter how long they are gone even if its months, years or even life – we have to all deal with the separation anxiety and that they were ripped out of our everyday life and being placed in a strange and scary place.

A Different Kind of Love
Before my happily ever after life that I am now living with my hubby of a decade/partner in crime of 17 years, I did an experiment. After being cheated on by a certain someone, I decided to flip the coin. I decided to treat guys like they treat chicks. I decided that I could pick and choose as many as I wanted and never commit. And I did. It was incredibly refreshing at first. It was a magic I didn't know I owned, and on top of that, I don't know how many of you reading this believe in the power of astrology, but I do and my Piscean powers were top notch for this (people under the Pisces sign tend to foresee things)! I would meet a guy and know exactly what would happen and how and how good or bad it would be. I still own this power of premonition. I use it seeking employment or even simply taking on new friendships and I am usually right about these things. Anyway, back to the point... I did this for a short period of time, but it was fun while it lasted. It was fun until it got creepy. It was fun until my inner feminist slapped my face and brought me back to the surface pointing out how horrible the aftermath felt. That is when I decided to date myself.

Don't Give Up! 5 Helpful Dating Tips While Using Online Sites
There is hope on dating sites! If you get out often great, but if you're like me going out is rarely an option, especially with kids so it is difficult to meet people. That's why I turned to online dating sites and apps to fill my alone time. Believe me I thought I had seen it all, but dating sites can be scary. You just need to know what to look for if you're looking for something long term. Then you can ween out the bad options to meet love sooner. I was on the sites for about a year and a half on and off and realized the mistakes I was making. Here are five things to be aware of while you are picking a match:

Live in the NOW
Every individual goes through a breaking point in their life, whether you are single or in a relationship. I have currently reached my breaking point in life and maybe most of you can relate to this problem many people face. Whether you are single or in a relationship, take the time to read this because the biggest problem in life that many can relate to is that we all live for the future and not the present.

Why People Cancel On You Last Minute
It’s been planned for days. It’s finally Friday afternoon. You’ve just finished work and you are super excited to get ready and go. What am I going to wear, what time should I leave, maybe I should wear that red top instead? And there comes that notification.

Abuse
I have always loved to write, but I’ve always hit a mental block when certain people come into my life. They distract you with holes and dreams of what could be, and then they crush everything you once loved. This is my story. It’s a painful one to say the least but it is my story.

Trust Me He Ain't Thinking about You
If there's one thing I've always wondered it's "hmmm I wonder if he's thinking about me?" I promise you honey he's not, sorry to break it to you. I may sound kind of harsh but it's because I care about women in the world, and I want them to prosper. Now, back to my point...he ain't thinking about you. Want to know why? Let me count the ways.

Overcoming the Fear of Letting Go
I have always found it hard to let go. Mostly people, of course. What does it even mean — to let go? To let someone leave your life without facing any confrontation from you. To let someone, who probably meant a world to you, fade away as if he or she never existed. To let somebody live their life happily without you being a part of it, to cut all the connections with them, to not allow yourself to give your decision a misleading thought — “what if I am doing it all wrong?”

7 Signs Your Girl is Cheating
Damn man, I really hate to be the one to deliver this bad news but someone has to do it. You know that wonderful girlfriend of yours, the one with the great sense of humor, perfect-for-you body, and nurturing attitude, the girl you thought would never do you wrong? Well what if I told you your suspicions of her recent shift in behavior weren't due to her supposed "increased work load” or “monthly female hormones”? What if these latest changes stem from a change within her and her wants and desires aka her desire to be in bed with someone other than you? Would you confront them or turn a blind eye? Are you, as a man, equipped to realize when the woman you thought you knew is no longer that woman but rather a liar and a cheater? Sorry dudes, I told you this might suck.
