Adult Relationships —What Is Your Love Language?
Take a moment to think back to your childhood. What's the first memory or thought that comes to mind? Is it happy or sad? Now take another moment to think about the relationship you had with your parents. In your recollection were they emotionally available? Did they have time for you to sit and chat about the most mundane things or were they always preoccupied with the demands of survival? Now when you get a moment speak to your parents about what their life was like when you were between the ages of zero to five years old. Were you in a loving environment? Did you maybe grow up in a single-parent home? All these things have a massive impact on the way that you now interact as an adult within your friendships and relationships.

One More Chance to Love You
The saying, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me” has always stood true in my mind, especially when it comes to relationships. When you’re dealing with love, it’s easy to let things slide and quickly forgive and forget. But how do you know when you should give your partner a second chance, or when it’s time to officially call it quits? The tricky part is that it all depends. It depends on your situation, relationship dynamics, and a million other factors that are unique to only you.

Eight Years Apart (Pt. 2)
We left off where I gave him a hug. Did you think that would be the ending of this lovely story. Once I hugged him tight, he hugged me tighter than anyone has before. This lasted for a few minutes. At this moment, another boy stepped into my life. Let’s not get to that point right now. We will say his name is Andrew. He wanted to challenge me in who’s stronger. I accepted his challenge and we started pushing each other to the ground, and whoever falls to the ground first, loses. Luckily, I didn’t fall to the ground. Of course he did. Maybe he was playing soft just to see me happy that I won over him, but that didn’t matter to me. I was having a great time with him, but then, someone showed up...

Mother of the Bride
My daughter is getting married! As I start to dream of helping her plan the wedding of her dreams by searching for a venue, cake tasting, florist shopping, and not to mention the fairy tale adventure of finding the perfect wedding dress among the long list of other responsibilities that accompany planning a wedding, I start to think back to the day I married her father.

The Man in the Relationship
I wasn’t sure he loved me or even liked me enough. I knew he was out there. I knew a lot of my schoolmates knew him. To me he was proud, arrogant, very annoying and inconsiderate towards my feelings. I met him through social media and my first encounter with him on there was not pleasant. I wondered why someone I had never met in person before was so rude to me, I wondered if I accidentally came across him before and offended him in some way for him to be rude towards me. Thinking back at it, I feel like that was his way of getting my attention. He constantly sent me messages and would never fail to be annoying. As time passed, we started to talk quite often on social media, and he did apologize after a while for being rude in the beginning.

There Is Always Tomorrow
As human beings we go through the motions of life; cycling back and forth between happiness, disappointment, loss, sadness, satisfaction or lack thereof. Some of us are fortunate enough to have the niceties in life; being born with the 'silver spoon,' while most of us have had to grind it out. Regardless of the status in which life has placed us in, nationality, race, sexual orientation, we all have one thing in common—the ability to give and feel love; some more than others of course.

Lovers Shadow, What Brings You Here?
Stimulate my mind and feed my body something more. Load me, shit deep, into your awareness of love and configuration. The mood switches, along with the playlist you'd played me on the warmest day in September. I sat back to listen, the tunes hit a special place in the softest region of my heart. You came into the room and you mentioned it being the best song on your playlist. You laid beside me and took a good look at what life had to offer you, that look was a gaze that intensified the connection between you and I, followed by a bright "I love you." What could you have meant? The words of indefinite, ambitious meaning, was this our calling?
