Jealousy. That's something certain people consider normal, if not necessary to a relationship.
"If she cares about you, she will be jealous." When I truly care about someone I want their happiness more than even my own. If he would rather be with someone else, so be it, I hope he's happy with her.
"If she isn't jealous, she's cheating." Okay, okay. I realize that girls that have a "side-bae" or two may feel more detached from your relationship, making it easier for them to let it slide when another girl talks to you. However, that's not the only kind of girl that won't get jealous easily. Do you really think that there are NO girls with an inherent ability to trust and let someone in?
"You're letting him talk to his ex?!" You say that as if I, as a girlfriend, have any right to...

When I was a child I was once called naïve. To be naïve that means you are showing a lack of experience, wisdom, or judgement. When I learned what naïve meant I felt a need to not be, to me being called naïve meant you just didn't know. I didn't like that. The madness in the unknown can take control, in a way I guess it did... I'm not about to gloat about how I was a A++ student cause I definitely was not. I didn't care to much about school itself, but I did enjoy learning what I did. I once had a teacher pick me for this competition where a bunch of students got together and took a lot of test. I was horrible at test also wasn't the brightest student I could not understand why she picked me, so I asked, she said it's because you have street smarts instead of book smarts. As a child I had...

This is my new home in England and, I have to tell you, it has taken me completely by surprise. I had heard and read so much about how the British people were so unwelcoming to migrants and asylum seekers and want to close the borders and even bomb the boats carrying migrants. But my experience has shown me that the ones who care and want to help far outnumber the ones who don’t. I have met such kindness from so many strangers.
I was forced to leave my home in Syria due to the terrible war in my country. Of course, wherever I go I will never feel happier or more comfortable than being in my home in Syria. I have my roots there, I grew up there, I have all my friends and loved ones there (the ones who are still struggling to stay alive and the ones who lost their lives in this horrendous...

So it's been a few months since we've seen each other. You are abroad changing the world and I am away at school. I miss seeing you every week. I miss spending time with you. I miss your smile. I miss you. I know you're out there doing great things, and I know that we're both in the places we need to be, but my heart aches knowing that I haven't seen you in three months, and that I won't see you for several more.
I want to thank you for being there for me through or messy middle and high school years. You were always the person I could go to for a straight answer- I trust you with my life. I'm so thankful that I had a person to grow up with who shared my insane passion for music, and understood my *almost* unhealthy obsession with musicals. I'm so thankful that you understood my...

Dear Tim,
Can I call you that? I feel weird calling people younger than I am “Mr.”. And of course, since you are totes famous, I feel like I know you. Because seeing you on TV and on the interwebz is as good as having a heart-to-heart, right? Right. Ok, fine, I know very little about you. I know you play professional football, but I don’t give two craps about football (sorry) so I have no idea what team you play for (sorry again). I know that you’re a Christian because you’ve done that famous praying pose after games and that people give you crap about it. I know that people love to love you or they love to hate you.
And now, thanks to the New York Daily News and the world wide interwebz, I also know that you’re not getting any. BY CHOICE. It seems you got dumped by this hot little...

So after the past few weeks of shite that's been floating around on Facebook iv tried to stay out of it. But I can't, not anymore. Finchie needs to speak.
MY OPEN LETTER TO ISIS
What's the craic lads! I don't think we have officially met. Finchie here from Ireland, we are that non aggravating, laid back post English island to the west of the bullshit.
So how's yourself? Been busy I hope. I see from the shallow media outlets and "copy paste" fear posting on social media that ye have been up to your neck in it the past few months. Good for you!
Sorry to be bothering ye boys while ye are busy planning the world's biggest burning man festival in the name of Alan, (or what ever he's called) but something has come to our attention to past few days that we need to have a quick "chat" about...

You do not need a guy to make you feel beautiful. You are beautiful on your own.
You're worth more than what your boyfriend is telling you that you're worth. Don't allow him to take rough housing too far, covering those bruises, those scars is traumatizing. The time your dad grabbed your arm and saw that bruise, he knew..and he truly wanted to believe you when you told him you hit it on a door the day before. When he grabs you, your neck, your arms, whatever, when he starts hurting you, you let him know. The second it goes that far, say you want out and mean it. Get out.
Don't ask to be friends with the BOYS who want to act like men for the sake of you coming to terms with your past. Don't let them pressure you into doing things you're not comfortable doing. Don't let them...

If you’re an actual friend and just a friend, with zero thoughts otherwise, then this isn’t intended for you…
If you’re not sure, then you may be a ‘friend’ that finds yourself attracted to him and occasionally (or outright) flirtatious and have thought about being more than friends whether for just a night or any length of time… or maybe you’re just really competitive and there’s something about the thrill of winning over another woman’s man that gives you an ego boost. Only you know your intentions, but if they’re anything other than simple, platonic friendship, I’m talking to you.
I would never try to stop my husband from having female friends. I wouldn’t stop myself from having male friends... it’s natural and healthy to have diverse friendships. But there are some that are a...

Dear Caitlyn,
Let me start by saying, I have been one of your biggest cheerleaders as you have progressed through your transition to come out as a transgender woman. You helped bring the world one step closer to acceptance and informed awareness when you graced TV screens and magazine spreads with your inspiring journey. Your courageous path to realizing your truest self is encouraging to so many. You’ve set the stage for those who have spent far too long hiding in fear and shame. We all deserve to be happy and at home in ourselves, to love and accept who we are.
It’s also a testament to your powerful influence and society’s progress that you were recently honoured as Woman of the Year by Glamour.
What a significant difference you’ve made in such a short time since coming out...

Dear Lyme disease,
I'm not angry.
But I admit you made me miserable. You sneakily rushed through my veins. Anonymous, without a name, you tortured me for months.
I didn't know who you were or where you came from. I would stare bleakly out my freshman dorm window, my eyes dull and my head throbbing. I blamed my school.
During my first quarter at Northwestern University, my boyfriend and I broke up, my grandfather died, and I couldn't get out of bed for my morning classes. I reluctantly dropped a course after meeting with an adviser who thought I was struggling to acclimate to college. I was 850 miles from home and started to believe that I never should have left the East Coast.
But Northwestern was the pennant on my corkboard at home; it was the sweatshirt my dad wore...
