Family unites us; but it's also a challenge. All about fighting to stay together, and loving every moment of it.
Generational Hate and Why Millennials Aren't the Worst
From being labeled “entitled” to “technology obsessed,” “detached,” and “narcissistic,” you’ve probably heard quite a bit about millennials, especially recently. Millennials get a lot of flack, especially when it comes to very cardinal things about our nature. We have been touted as the generation without work ethic; the generation that wants everything given to them with little to no effort. We’ve been blamed for the destruction of industries such as Applebees and napkins. We’ve even been slandered for loving avocado toast too much!

The Borderliner Stories. Top Story - May 2018.
"I'm going to take the car to the service today." Those were his exact words that morning. And she remembers them precisely. In fact, they keep ringing loud and clear in her head as her coworker drives right past her husband's car, parked in front of the hotel.

My Boyfriend Is Still Married
Relationships are never easy to begin with, but it's even harder when the person you are with is still married. Now, before thinking I'm the dirty mistress, hear me out. This is not the typical situation of the secretary sleeping with her married boss.

The Auntie That Fate Blessed Us With
Family can come in all shapes and sizes. In this case, it was in the form of a very short but incredible lady with size three shoes but a heart bigger than most, who found us by chance and showed us more love than most blood relatives ever could. Her death was by far the hardest loss I have had to go through in my eighteen years on this planet, but I will forever be grateful for the fact that I got sixteen precious years with her, and I was the lucky one who got to call her my Auntie Nora.

It's Going to Be a Tough One, Kid
Your life is going to be a tough one. I wish that I could prepare you for it, but unfortunately, there is no real way to do that. You’re going to be a young one when your parents die, and you will live with your maternal grandmother from the time you are one year old until you are about ten years old. You will live there with her and your half-sister, who is 17 years older than you; you will have a few good times and even more terrible times, but you won’t even really remember most of your childhood once you get to be twenty two.

Love Shadows: Part 7
You'd think hating someone for so long wouldn't make you feel much watching them rot on their death bed. Seeing her mother lying in a hospital bed dying, weak and helpless from her own sickness should’ve only filled her with joy. Lena wanted to be just as heartless as her mother had been most of her life at this very moment. Maybe then, she would've been prepared to see her in this final state of damnation.

Baby Mama Drama
You've met the man of your dreams, who loves you, who is mature and supportive of everything you do (well almost everything). You're star struck and you can't believe how lucky you are. There's just one speed bump you have to get over, but it seems more like a mountain. He has a child from a previous relationship (you know the one he's iffy about opening up about), and the woman he was with is a true-life nightmare. Your love triangle includes a Baby Mama, and it's the worst.

Did This Really Happen?
Have you even just sat back and thought to yourself how in the hell did I get myself in this situation? Well that just happened to me. Now let me tell you how it all started. It started off like any other day getting dressed for work and getting my son ready for school. When I realized that it was my boyfriend's sister's birthday, I reminded him as a good girlfriend should. So we called and a normal conversation resumed between them and I continued to get ready for work. Next thing I knew I was asked if I wanted to accompany her to a lounge with her sister, and without hesitating I say, "Sure what time are we leaving?"

I Do - Take Two
I know, even the title implies I'm a little untraditional. When I married my husband Wes seven years ago, we were untraditional then as well. I was 19. My husband 21. We had been dating only two months when we got engaged, and married only five months later. There was no particular rush, we were just in a hurry and ready to spend the rest of our lives together. We were young and immature. During this time I chose to exclude several members of our families.. including my dad.. from the ceremony. My dad was there, but he did not walk me down the aisle. Not that I regret the fact that my grandpa did, he will always be a very important part of my life and I cherish those moments. At the time, it felt like the reasonable thing to do as we weren't getting along. But now that I have a child of my own, and my dad and I have grown closer as I grew up a little more. I regret the fact that he didn't walk me now, because as a parent I couldn't imagine being excluded from something like that. Wes & I always said we'd renew our vows one day. 10-year, 15-year milestone. We wanted to make it special, something new. And one thing I said I would redo is I'd have my dad walk me down this time.

Ordinary Tune
Ordinary Tune There was one room he was not allowed to go into when he would return home from school. He went to a boarding school in Brighton, United Kingdom. It was called Brighton College, of course. Nothing fancy or original (just like everything in his young life), just a school full of children sent to get out of their parents' way. Savon spent seven years away from his ancient family home, only returning during breaks from school. This room he was never allowed to go in became the obsession of his curiosity. So, one day he snuck in while his father was away on a business trip. He was surprised to find a black grand piano in the center. Checking for any servants, he continued into the room, closing the door soundlessly behind him.
