I didn't Know This Wasn't My Diary P.S. Trauma
I've decided because I'm camera shy with performance anxiety that Youtube is NOT for me, but I do have a story time. I was in college when I first met Damien. My roommate encourage me to try dating sites after a really bad breakup, so I picked my poison; TINDER. I had a spree, the first guy I invited was a senior football player who had a gross kiss and when I told him that I was a freshman he said "Welcome to WIU" and gave me another wet sloppy kiss. I was not very happy when I escorted him out of my dorm room.

You don't find Love, it finds you! And then?
That fateful morning, we were on the phone. And while she was relentlessly gasping for every atom of oxygen, she wished she had my hands to hold on to, all I could do was sob at my helplessness only to hear about her demise a few minutes later. 'Our story', lasted for all but twenty days, and then, she stopped breathing. God, I miss her mesmerizing and cheerful voice and the radiant smile on her pale cheeks. I wish I could feel her and kiss her. But Alas! Fate didn't want it. Perhaps it wanted her more than I did...

Brief encounters in Bologna
Daytime drinking? I can handle that. Morning drinking? Yeah, I’m up for that as well, I thought as I made my way to an Irish pub smack in the middle of the Bologna’s student district. The pretext for my early morning drinking was the world cup being played a few time zones to the east but with my interest in football always having been somewhere between none and “is it over yet?” I soon found myself a bit tipsy and fairly bored.

Why You Shouldn't Get a Quarantine Boo in Your Hometown
My mind is filled with memories of them. And I can't prevent it. I take a stroll down the street and all I see are memories we made, like us going to that grocery store near his place for our late night cooking experiments. Or that restaurant we tried after our beautiful hike out in the coast. Or when I see a pomerianian and think of their dog and how needy they were for me.

Dating in 2021
Perhaps our fatal flaw is attempting to make forever out of people who are meant to be temporary.” - Rudy Fransisco Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Facebook, etc. The list goes on and on. Swipe, swipe, match, chat, talk, and meet. First dates, second dates, and back to the beginning? Dating in this generation is something I’m still learning. The talking stage, meeting stage, situationships, and then dating? I guess for me it’s either you’re dating or you’re not. None of these games people play interest me. I’ve always been a person who is all in or not. Even when I started online dating I started out just talking to one person at a time and I think this is okay. Everyone is different and with my schedule it’s somewhat hard to invest in multiple individuals.

Why I'll Never Leave My Husband as an Openly Gay Woman
I was in sixth grade the first time I had feelings for another girl. I remember particularly because of the moment I realized it. We were best friends, but there was something different about her. One night in bed, I couldn't stop thinking about her but I was not sure why. I realized it when I started losing sleep over her. So, as we do in sixth grade, I wrote her a note. It started with an apology for how I felt. The vulnerability was tangible as I explained my feelings and how I had no clue why they wouldn't go away. But she was beautiful. And funny. And smart. And she said yes. As most sixth grade relationships go, we didn't last long. I was just thankful to have met her.

How You can help your relationship to survive in this pandemic
Was it really a surprise to learn that over 80 couples filed for divorce immediately upon leaving lockdown in China? Being together 24/7 is something we rarely experience for any significant period of time, perhaps only at Christmas or on holiday, and then there are usually external distractions.
