Tales From a Survivor of the 'Friend Zone'
The dreaded f-word... 'Friend zone'. Many males appear to living in this state of having feelings for a friend, yet never vocalizing these sentiments, so they never become anything more. I've seen many memes and pictures of men doing nice things for women and it being labeled as a description of the 'friend zone'. I'm not sure how I feel about the 'friend zone' since technically I lived in the 'friend zone' for about 2 years. WHAT?! A woman living in the friend zone? How can this be? Didn't only guys live in the 'friend zone'?

Unhealthy Thing
I think I’ve always been inclined to desire unhealthy things. I don’t know why. I certainly didn’t have a difficult childhood, nor would I consider myself a victim of abuse or neglect. I think technically I come from a broken home, but that’s only because of a minorly messy divorce and my own need to feel like an outcast. Other than the occasional wrist grab and the one time my mother spanked me as an infant, I’ve never been in any situation that could be evaluated as threatening. I would describe my life as mild. Nothing special, nothing bad, just mild. Yet, I still feel the hopeless pull to interact, seek, and fall in love with the most unhealthy of situations.

The Sure Thing
Sometimes, like anybody, I have my moments of weakness. I have those wobbles of confidence anyone has. Sometimes, it's memory more than the moment. Sometimes, it's feeling yourself absorbing and building up negativity that will eventually explode. But I've got a sure thing.

The Widow's Mind
She stood at the top of her house, the sea breeze rustling through her fine brown hair. Upon the sun’s brief returns, there was a tint of yellow and red, hitting her tight bun so, it created a halo above her head. Under her cloak, she wore the traditional widow’s black, a stern expression on her face. Daffodil Unistentasious watched the goings-on of the children beneath, her green-blue eyes pooling water.

Worst Flirting Moves Men Make (And What Works Better)
If there's one thing that every girl (or girl-looking person) has experienced, it's the cringe, embarrassment, and discomfort that happens when someone tries to put the moves on you — and fails miserably. At times, it can be funny, but usually, it's somewhat scary.
