It can make a real difference about how we're treated by others.

Taking Your Power Back After Twin Flame Separation
I'm part of something, it is bigger than me, it's bigger than romance, it has shown me that we are more than this flesh and blood existence and although I previously thought I was spiritual and open-minded, this, this twin flame experience has blown my heart and my soul so wide open I feel like a totally different being altogether.

What I've Learnt from My Relationship with a Teacher
As a kid my dream was to be surrounded by books. I'd planned my future as I sat in my room, surrounded by books; my ideal boyfriend would be a book lover too. More specifically an English teacher.

John and Jane... and Sexism
Sexism is still prevalent in American society though our media outlets try to scream "all genders are equal" and the movements for women's rights are still brought up as though they solved all remaining issues. Yes, women are allowed to vote and yes, they are allowed to work wherever they choose. Yes, they can even own property and yes, they can drive. But in our still male-dominated culture there are shortcomings, some of these are passed down through generations while others are inflicted by popular culture. They exist not only in the workplace, but also in our personal relationships. Both men and women are victims of sexism though typically this topic tends to focus on the women's side.

Is An Open Relationship Right For Me?
Relationships were not always one man and one woman. Polygamy and open marriages have been around since all of recorded history but began to die out with the spread of non-political marriages and Christianity. However, after several centuries of recluse they have returned, causing many new couples to wonder if an open relationship is right for them, and if so where to start. This can be really difficult with the term "open relationship" having no set ground rules or meanings. One couple may have sex outside of marriage only if both partners know and are involved, while another couple may have free reign with no rules. This broad span of rules and meanings can cause for a ton of confusion, judgment, and even jealousy. More then that, peer judgement can make a newly opened relationship extremely difficult to put into practice.

How I'm Moving On
Recently I have had the pleasure of falling in love for almost 2 years. But my pleasure of being loved was short lived. He soon broke my heart like every other guy I let close to me. I had no way of saving my heart from the pain I endured, and am still working through it. But I refused to let this keep me from living my life and I found an object that helped me work through my issues.
