Four years ago we met on an online dating website. I suppose that should have gave me an indication eventually you'd use online dating again.
Four years ago we met and I instnalty fell in love. I always thought you were too good for me, that you were way out of my league and I couldn't possibly deserve you.
I got pregnant with our first pretty early on, which is scary in a new relationship. We had a lot of trials and tribulations and being so young I was still trying to learn how to be a good girlfriend to you. I made some mistakes and put my parents first over you more than anyone ever should. Once I realized what was happening I tried correcting my mistakes and worked hard to earn your love
Once we worked past this together we of course still had our arguments as every...

Are you typically someone who is currently hurting inside about something that’s been bothering you for a long time, or something recent that happened that caused too much pain? Well; if you are, you are not alone. I am also currently feeling pain in the inside of my body too. It is something very difficult for anyone to deal with, but there are some strategies that can personally help people during these tough times.
One, is to talk to someone you trust. That may not always be easy; because some people don’t want to express their emotions about something that hurts them, nor that they feel good about talking about their situation at all. There is nothing wrong with those two at all; however, sometimes keeping your feelings and thoughts about a terrible situation can make matters...

An open letter to the one who got away;
We were just kids when we met. Middle school. The great expanse of life before us, neither of us knowing what the future would hold. You weren’t my first crush by any means, but you were the first one that really mattered. You were the boy that would change absolutely everything.
I really don’t know how we spent so much time together, but it happened. Between track practice and choir and lock-ins, I knew that I liked you... I didn’t just like you, I LIKED you. One night, with several friends around in a swimming pool, someone asked me if I LIKED you, and I got embarrassed, I got nervous, and I said no. You were right there. How could I possibly say yes? But the truth was yes. I DID like you. That was seventh grade. I liked you then, and that...

I should have known what it meant when, a few weeks after we started dating, you shamelessly lied to me. You pretended to forget we had made a date the day before and coldly informed me that you were going out with friends. No mention of our plans. No apology.
I should have known what it meant when, though you claimed to love me, you were visibly uncomfortable in situations where emotional support was required.
I should have known what it meant when you treated me like a sex doll, with no intimacy or connection and as if you owned my body. Or when you made a frightening comment about rape during sex. Or when you groped me in front of others, including your own mother, like you were showing off your sex slave as proof of your virility. It makes me shudder now just to imagine it. How did...

I wanna start this off by saying, NO I’m not over it, I’m not over you nor the feelings I had for you or what I wanted us to be. I ask my self all the time, where did I go wrong with you, what could I have done to make us work ,truth is there’s nothing I could’ve done. Somethings in life are meant to be temporary and to teach us a lesson , but truth is I didn’t want us to be temporary I wanted us forever , but I have to except the fact that’s it’s never going to be mean and you and that’s OK. I can’t sit here and say that I’m over you cause that would be a lie , what I can say is that I’m ready to move on from you. I see now that I put my heart and emotions into you to get Hurt in the end. I had to see for myself that it’s just not going to happen. And as much as I tell my self I’m over...

To All Concerned:
Twitter: #EndALS | Facebook: #EndALS
I pray that this message finds you and finds you well. I am writing you on behalf of those suffering from motor neurological diseases. Of the gravest concern is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
ALS has been known to science for over 150 years. Tens of thousands of people suffer from this horrible disease and there are an estimated 15 new cases every single day.
ALS can strike at any age, even children as young as 6 years old. It also effects every race and every gender and most critically ALS is 100% fatal often within a few short years of diagnosis. Victims of this disease quickly lose the ability to move, eat, talk and even breathe on their own.
ALS is grossly underfunded in terms of research and support....

I'll never be able to tell you this so I thought I'd let the world read it instead. I've loved you for 3 years now, since the second I laid eyes on you. I don't know if you know this but I saw you at a concert before we even became friends and I knew it from right then and there.
We became friends 3 years ago, and lets just say, you rocked my world. With you, I never knew where our friendship stood but I never wanted just a friendship with you. I don't know what you ever wanted for me but all I know is, the timing was never right. Honestly, I don't know if we were right for each other at the time.
3 years ago I was immature, unsure, insecure and above all else, scared of how strongly I felt for you. You were strong, beautiful, compassionate, detached at times, cold at times but so warm...

I felt it as I grew up. I felt I was different. When I would spend my days with my grandmother and grandfather. When you gave up on my Dad and ran with another man. I was angry. I was angry that you gave up on me and my Dad. I was angry that you favored my younger siblings. I knew I was different than them. You made it clear. You favored them. Everything they did was like gold. They walked on water. I knew I was the result of an affair that you had with another woman’s husband. I knew you didn’t want me. But you had me anyway. My grandmother took over from there. She raised me. And for her, I am externally grateful.
I separated myself from you as the years went by. Why? Because you made it apparently clear that another man to run with was more important than your children. As we...

You’re not supposed to fall in love with your friends. If I had a child, that would be the first piece of advice I would give them when they got to dating age. Make any and every mistake possible: break some hearts and have your heart broken a few times, date someone totally wrong for you and let that seemingly perfect person go, feel bad about all that, learn from it and become a fully rounded person. But never, EVER, fall for one of your friends.
If only it were that simple…
Of course, that isn’t how it works. Falling in love is such a strange, unquantifiable event and it simply isn’t in our control. If it was, I would never have fallen for you. I wouldn’t have had to keep hanging out with you, all the while having to stop myself telling you how I felt. I wouldn’t have let our...
