3 Unconventional Ways to Get over Your Ex
Exes seem to be a severe problem in this world in which we live. Like sexism, the pharmaceutical industry (okay that’s just America), environmental issues, and unskippable ads on Youtube.

How Do You Heal a Broken Heart
Kristi was just a girl from west Georgia; she wasn’t the prettiest, but she was very talented and had a caring personality. A bit of a dreamer, mostly of getting out of that small town and doing something with her life that mattered one day. Kristi had been dating Jay, a boy from a neighboring town she met in night school, and she was sure he was the love of her life. Jay was a bit older and had plans to join the Navy after high school. He joined the Navy and shortly after asked Kristi to marry him. She excitedly said yes and they decided to marry after she graduated high school.

What Did I Do Wrong?
“You are so selfish, so inconsiderate!” “I would never do that to you.” “You just don’t know how to love someone.” “You never make time for us. It’s always YOU.”

The Explanation that You Wanted but Will Never Get
Ideally, you were quite perfect for me. You’re a very kind person, honest, caring, smart, talented and honestly, intimidatingly good at everything. You made me feel very safe and comfortable very quickly. You made me laugh and always remembered to say things that would light up my mood all the time when we were still together. Until out of nowhere, I told you we were finished.

I Hope One Day We Can Meet Again
Dear SD, Tomorrow, I’ll miss you a little more than I do today. And as the days turn into months, my mind will struggle to adapt to the absence of you, the change in my routine. But next year, along with new hopes and promises, I hope it brings you once again. If not, I wish you all the best this world could give. I’ll pray for you on the days that I don't pray for myself.

Surviving Toxic Relationships
How can one person that you put on this pedestal just let you down? How could one person that you “loved” so much end up hurting you so badly? Manipulative relationships could be the hardest thing to get over, but I don’t regret mine at all. He is the one person that I am so happy I met, but I never want him in my life again. He taught me everything about relationships. He was my first real boyfriend. The first real person to truly show an interest in me, and I held onto that because I thought that I would never find someone else that is romantically interested in me. However, I slowly started to learn (with the help of an amazing therapist and support system) that I do I deserve better than some boy yelling at me, calling me a bitch, and giving me the silent treatment.

Tonight, You Had Me. Top Story - August 2019.
I often wonder what it would be like if I stayed by your side, if we never broke up. My apartment felt empty the minute you left, and I stuffed your portion of the bed with silence and alcohol.

To the Best Friend I Thought Would Never Hurt Me: Thanks for Breaking My Heart
I confided in you, told you all my fears, my dreams, everything. You let me believe that opening up was going to be okay, that opening up to you was going to be a good thing.

Does Having Disabilities Affect Your Relationship?
Here's my story of one relationship I was in. I thought I found the right woman, but it didn't turn out too well. I was always very shy, quiet, and nervous. I don't always do well with conversations or in a large group of people or out in public. I was diagnosed with Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, and Attention deficit disorder as a kid. So I didn't have much of a good childhood if you know what I mean. I wasn't any good at talking to girls either. I didn't start having girlfriends until I was seventeen. But that's not what I want to talk about today.

Blank Space
As I sit here, in our old coffee shop, a flood of emotions have emerged. I see a dream, beautiful yet a typical one. We are ordering ice tea! You telling me “Yeek! I don't like ice tea,” and I say “Just sip a bit, you'll love it." With our typical jokings, typical love talkies, scolding people I don't like. Smiling, laughing taking selfies. I keep seeing this dream.

All or Nothing Kind
Sometimes, we meet people who sparked and shined brighter than anyone else. For the lucky ones, they stay and end up together. For the unlucky ones, like you and me, it is fleeting. Perfect for a moment and gone the next.

Falling out of Love and Why It Hurts More Than Getting Your Heart Broken
All the movies and books and songs talk about falling in love. It is all romanticized... hyper-romanticized. But what about falling out of love? Why don't more people talk about that?
