What Not to Do When You Fall in Love
For months and months after I split up with my ex, my head wasn’t in the right place. I felt like I was shutting myself off to people and I felt like I wasn’t worthy of anyones time. I then realised her instagram (we'll call her Luna) and I looked through her profile and I was amazed to say the least. I had never ever seen such an incredible person in all my life, and I saw it as a potential opportunity to make myself very very happy. I bottled messaging her because I had such a fear that she’d reject me and I couldn’t deal with that. So I finally thought fuck it, what have I got to lose? I was spending hours and hours trying to figure out what I should say, like I didn’t want to say hey because thats so generic and creepy it’d probably just get ignored. So I eventually came to the conclusion of sending an even creepier message to her. To my amazement, she replied to me and she gave me her snapchat details. From the first conversation we had, I knew that I had to pursue it. She was too good looking and she was too easy to talk to to get rid of.

He Broke Me, but I Love Him
Is it still love, if the person you "love" hurts you beyond your breaking point? I've been in many relationships. Good, bad, and ugly. When you don't receive that loving connection with a family member, you'll start looking for it in other things. For me, I found that love in guys. I didn't care how they treated me or what they did to me, or anyone else for that matter.

Three Little Words
With or without love in our lives we are impacted by it and how it changes us as we grow into complex human beings. Love is a broad topic that has no real definition. It is ever changing; however, it has always been able to impact people’s lives—those who have experienced it in their own lives and those who aren’t as fortunate. Either way love has been able to affect who they have become as adults. If one who has never had love in their life was finally shown it, it could change who they become in the future. Love is something that we spend our whole lives trying to find and yet most of us don’t even know what it is that we are looking for. What really is love? That is a question that has many answers. Love is a remarkable feeling that you can’t put into worlds. It is a feeling that is different for all who are lucky enough to find it in their lives. This just shows the power behind this four letter word that we all take for granted.

Sharing Is Caring
It was a cold evening at the airport and I was sitting across an elderly couple (looked to be in their 60s) in the waiting room. I don't know why I started staring at them, but something called my attention. It was the way she took care of him. She was a tall, skinny, grey-haired, black woman, wearing a pair of high waisted jeans and a sweatshirt. Her figure was classic and charming like the 70s; he was a chubby, tall, grey-haired, white man dressed in formal trousers, square printed long sleeved shirt, and suspenders—a lovely vintage couple.

Just One's Love Story
It started on a Halloween 2012 I believe. I went with my friends, I don't remember where, and I don't remember what exactly happened. All I remember is that, on that day, I liked him.

Love in 2018
Love. It’s a simple, yet complicated word. We obviously know how to spell the word love but we truly don’t know the exact meaning of it. Well, at least not in 2018. You see in 2018 social media and the songs most people listen to sell love as this cheap, and unimportant thing. It teach people that love is just another emotion that we should just disregard and turn our heads away from. When really in all reality, love is the essence to happiness and joy, love is careful and acknowledging. Love is what gave us life for Pete’s sake! In 2018 the words “I love you,” mean nothing, but a quick way to get into someone’s pants or mess with their mind. In today’s society love is what controls someone and holds them hostage. It’s should be the complete opposite really—love should set you free and help you realize your potential, helping you go further than you ever expected in life. Love is what has brought people together for ages, but in 2018, love is what separates us even as a nation. It splits us apart and is labeled as dangerous. I myself has always pictured meeting a prince, and falling in love, and the both of us riding away on a horse. Just simple pure imagination of love. Even as a little girl I would think about it and I could not wait to meet my prince! If only people would be anxious to find love and actually keep it. In 2018, love is just not enough. 2018 is a very odd, yet difficult time to try new things such as a relationship. It is all just a gamble, and a matter of who has the right dice to roll the lucky numbers. Relationships should not be gambles nor should it be risky. In 2018 love is tiring. If people actually do happen to get in a relationship, it’s very exhausting and a very on and off situation. People break up and get back like it’s nothing. When in all reality, their still damaged from the last time the broke up. Their still holding on to what took place for them to break up in the first place. Love is very disloyal and tricky. It should not be this way. Love is not on and off, love is not disloyal. Then again it is 2018 so love is just a game, love is tricky, love is disloyal, love is what holds you back and keeps you hostage. In present society, love is whatever people on television and social media make it out to be. Love is nothing and it’s trash, because that’s what society makes of it. I would dearly love to change minds about love, but in all reality no one can because almost everyone thinks the same these days. Very little of our population will tell you about the wonders of love and very little will be able to break these thick barriers in people's mind and hearts, to put them at ease that it’s okay to fall in love. People really can’t think for themselves nowadays. We let these celebrities control what we like and what we do. We are just soldiers who listen to some random half brained commander. I wish I could vouch for love, but not even someone else can get through the minds of robots, who refuse to choose their own path and think for themselves. Its 2018 and everything to do with love is gone. Love is just a word we use to get what we want regardless of others feelings.

Love at a Bus Stop
I love my boyfriend. I’ve been with him for 5 1/2 months and it’s been great. We have some challenges like every normal relationship does. Here’s how our story starts: we met each other April 26 2018. (Disclosure, it was 5 days after his 23rd bday) We met at a bus stop in Baltimore, when we were both off of work, and the moment we laid eyes on each other was just magic. Let me get into detail about what I mean. A couple of minutes before meeting him, I originally was at another bus stop. I was there smoking a blunt and talking to cops and didn’t want to get in any trouble, the cops just seemed too nice), so I left and went to the next bus stop to roll another blunt. As I was looking around to make sure I was safe, I locked eyes with Joseph. Now while we were locking eyes, he was trying to tell me that security guards were coming without words. I smiled at him because it was so cute how he was trying to protect me without knowing me. After the security guards left we started talking and rolling up blunts and just getting to know each other while buses just past by us. So we continued talking and smoking and finally got on the bus. (Another disclosure, I found out he lived up the street from me).

A Love Letter Every Woman Deserves to Read

Is Love Real?
During my freshman year of college, I noticed one thing. In college, there are a lot of college students who are sexually active, and I didn't fit in well. I have a strong belief that you wait until after marriage before becoming intimate with your significant other for personal reasons. When I joined the dance team at my college, I heard from several members of my team say, "Love isn't real." Now, this stuck with me for my own reason, and that reason was simply that I didn't agree with that statement.

The Call
A few years ago I was in a very toxic relationship. I let him cheat on me, call me derogatory names, and control me. He even stormed out of my parents' house on Christmas Day in front of my entire family while I laid on the floor sobbing uncontrollably. It was then we decided to "take a break." Mind you, looking back, I don't know why "taking a break" was the decision I made, but you do do a lot of dumb things in your early 20s.
