Goodbye To My Narcissistic Abuser
How do you get over four years of loving someone with every last fiber of your being? How do you go on knowing that this nightmare is real? How do you stop the tears that just seem to keep falling? How do you watch the person you once considered to be your everything disappear and be replaced with someone you don't know? How do you get over the loss of what you had always hoped would be a forever deal? How do you tell yourself not to love that person anymore? How do you tell your heart that it's over for good even though your head has known it was for some time? How do you tell your mind that every kiss, every hug, and every intimate moment you shared was all built on lies? How do you watch the one you once loved love someone else? How do you get over every moment of laughter? How do you get over the struggles and the heartaches the both of you once shared? How do you survive the loss of your best friend? How do you explain to others how you feel so that they can truly understand and respond appropriately? How do you say goodbye to all of your yesterdays? How do you know what (if anything) was real and what was fake? How do you train yourself to not think about that person? How do you teach yourself to no longer care?

50 Reasons to Find a Husband
Disclaimer: I don't need a husband right now, I just need more promising prospects to ensure that one day marriage is still in the plans. Looking back at my history it is not looking too promising. If anything it's slightly, actually, honestly, it's massively disappointing. Nevertheless if you're wondering why the search for love is such a big deal for me, these 50 reasons below - yes some shallow - will explain a thing or two.

Real Relationships, Where Are They?
Relationships today are not the same as what I saw growing up. As I grew up, relationships was more about love and it led to marriage. When problems came, they knew how to talk it out. People knew their value. They never settled. Marriages even lasted till death. My grandparents are a great example. I watched them because they inspired me. They were married till death. My grandfather died first, then my grandmother died two years later. I can tell they loved each other.

Brutes
“Seph!” Ross rang her doorbell repeatedly in a furious rage. “Open the door, Seph!” When there was no answer, Ross resorted to banging on the door. He couldn’t wait. He’d been waiting and trying and failing miserably for almost two years now, and finally he knew why.

Like in the Movies
Two weeks. It took two weeks for me to remove myself from the feelings I thought I felt for you. There are times when I still think about you or accidentally think your name out of habit. Yet, I don’t think that I truly loved you because how can you love someone who never cared for you in the same way you cared for them? The answer is you can’t. Love in it’s most true form is caring and being there for someone and receiving the same from them. You never gave me anything I truly needed or what I truly wanted.

Loneliness
Loneliness: Can a relationship really cure it? Everyone feels lonely sometimes—it’s just a normal relationship just like love, happiness, and sadness. However, what does it take to truly feel lonely. Some are alone for a day or a week, but others it can last months and maybe even years, like an illness without a cure. Loneliness is actually quite an underrated emotion, leaving people feeling depressed and even adding to anxieties that may already have existed. Sometimes when a person has been so long it’s hard to find a cure or to try and fix it, and on the flip side of loneliness is relationships and being with someone that you really like and maybe even love. Does jumping to the other end of the spectrum really cure the loneliness that someone felt before? Well, Alain de Botton once said that it’s only when we value companionship at that level that we can choose a person for their merits instead of simply because we think that being in a relationship is going to cure us of some loneliness in our current state. Meaning that relationships may be a quick fix to helping with the short term state of loneliness but in the long run will it help?

A Beautiful Mess
Like most people in life, I thought I had met my soulmate in high school. I was a Freshman at the time thinking I had it all. Now I know what you're thinking. You are pretty young to be thinking this way about another person and you're absolutely right. I'm going to answer those questions that linger deep inside you. No, we did not have any sexual contact of any sort. This statement includes kissing and holding hands. See as a teenager, I did not have my first kiss till I was 15. This charming gentleman came out of nowhere and slipped into my life only for him to slip out the next year. Like Snow White and Prince Charming, he practically swept me off my feet and led me through what I call A Beautiful Mess.
