THERE IS AN EPIDEMIC SWEEPING THE NATION.
Millennial men everywhere are matching with women on Tinder, Bumble and Happn AND…
When you’re at your lowest point, you’re ready to break open. Your heart is crying out for help, for a change, for what it needs…
Hey Friend,
It might horrify or amuse you to know that the first time we spoke on the phone I wondered, could this be the one? It horrified me and I am still not amused. However I am finding that sometimes it is best to be honest with myself as I move to being…
Everyone loves their mom for the unconditional love & care that’s impossible to find anywhere else. Come what may…
So many gems sprinkled throughout this one, Kris. It’s also not love (in my book anyway) when believing he/she/they made me feel good about myself.
If I’m dependent on my SO to hold that card, I’m forever dangling at their whim or emotional mercy. Should my partner say or do something in anger or even in jealousy to spite…

We have some crazy psychology/reverse psychology going on here today.
Exhibit A: We shall call him Damien.
A Letter for 2018,
On this first Sunday of 2018, I wrote something with you in mind. In case you’re in a rush… I have a short note and a recording. (Listen…
Loving your matter-of-fact tone on this topic.
It’s so true and unfortunate the peaks in a relationship are considered love when really, as Tony Robbins said somewhere–and I’m paraphrasing here:
If you’re going to blame someone for all the bad shit in your life, you…
Right, love is connection; need not want.
The pain of enduring harsh words and acts when you know damned well none of it stands any chance of turning you away.
The sadness of watching someone suffer, knowing that no matter what you will be there to witness every single minute of it.
Most of the time you match with a guy or girl and you get one of three responses:
Hey
Thank you so much for articulating that love is also a choice!
Self-love has not always come naturally to me. I have battled with my body image often…
There is a rule in acting (forever a drama nerd🤓) that applies to dating as well as online dating apps/sites…SHOW, DON’T TELL. If you like to hike, swim and cook…
The majority of the women on Tinder are not looking for someone who looks like Channing Tatum. They are looking for a RELATIONSHIP. Women say they’re not, but let’s be real…
Present Day!
Loud music and huge crowd grooving on the dance floor, with flashing disco lights and drinks.

For much of 2017, I was in deep pain. Depression and anxiety filled my days, which then turned into grief after the dissolution of my 9-year relationship.
When you’re dealing with grief, everything seems hard. Basic tasks become enormous difficulties. It’s hard to…
My stepfather’s hospice pain management relies heavily on The State of Washington’s finest medical marijuana. For him, a scheduled combination of of 2-to-1 CBD/THC combined with partial doses of oxy, provides relief.
In 2017, I lost a cousin. She didn’t die in car crash. She wasn’t in any sort of freak accident. She took her life.
Her name was Jocelyn. She had the prettiest hands. With those hands, she produced music, directed videos, and shot photographs…

To my ex,
I love you. From the very first moment you walked through the door, I wanted you to love me…
very valuable information; why are we so willing to deceive ourselves for the moment — that temporary feel good gives way to the realization of loneliness that Kris Gage described so well.
I will remember the signs.
Human beings work in funny ways. The people we love and care about, can often not be found on our ‘pressingly…

The Mask
My dreams don’t start with a haze like you might expect. There is no slow lifting of the fog, no gentle coming into the sleep world. They simply start. Sometimes it almost seems as if I have always been there, eyes closed and unaware, until I am brought back to that piece of myself. Fully there. Fully me. Fully real.
Thousand things to sayThousand poems to write for youBuried in my heart
Hello, can we be friends?Walk me to where the world endsWe’ll fight but make amendsAnd my garden, help tend
Is there a due date on relationships? Are they like milk and have an expiration date? They can sour and yet we do not throw them away. We extend their time in our hearts and minds, hoping they will be revived to one last drop, so we don’t have to let them go. The sell by date on…

“ My Special Lady”
As the 2018 version of Valentines Day approach~
Deep gratitude for this article. Deep. Deep. Deep. We need more voices like this.
With all the aggressive tweets from political journalists and the ever increasing polarization, we need voices that look to find a bridge between sides.
I’ve been wrong all along
2018, new year better me.
Stronger, faster, smarter, kinder. The new year shouldn’t be a year to change who you are as a person but only to make yourself a better you. I feel like a lot of people get caught up on the new year new me bs and it’s like…helllooooo use your past experiences to make yourself a better you. Use your…
you should know, I whispered a little prayer to the universe for you and I
to make room for grace in between the tears we may cry
on the chairthere’s a filthy spring jacketlight enoughto catch every stray hair
I have cried so much for boys who would not recognize me, were it not for the blueprint I laid out, to make better men, for the women to succeed me.
I have shed tears of commitment.
And pain.
Sometimes I am not as nice as I could be or would like to be. Not as kind or compassionate or loving.
This you know or not, while most people aren't like this, I have ceraunophilia…
Yes! Yes! Yes! and oh my God Yes! I am feeling first sentence to the very last period. I haven’t been able to vocalize what you have expressed so clearly, but I know I am feeling all of these things. The anger and the irritability are strong and strange because they’re new for me too. I just assumed it was a severe episode of depression like none…

Eran las dos de la tarde y él ya había llegado. Le dije que yo salía del colegio a las 19hs así que me esperó.Cinco horas después de su llegada yo estaba en Santa Fe y Armenia, lista para dar el punto final; y él a media cuadra.

There are just a few seminal moments through life. Moments that bring about radical change in the way you get to relate to your life from that time on.
To me, one of those moments occurred exactly 17 years ago: the birth of Maya, my daughter.
Meet Single Women!
Best advice I’ve heard in a long time — well … you wouldn’t want to meet a whole herd of them, would you?
1. Just like many weird people you come across in life, you might like to add one more name to the list ,after having met me. I am an Indian girl and I do not dress up for marriages, hate applying mehndi and…
Why we should always have hope, no matter what.
I was sitting in the center of the beautiful city of Chicago a few days ago, and I saw many different types of people. However, what really caught my eye was the people who look lost. It is as if they are caught in…
I see you andYou see me, But, I wish you look at melike how I look at you
London Road
London Road is long and cold, hard upon the gentle soul to walk, without a hand to hold.
Still, ships pass in the nightand dreams end too soon.
You have held me before
Our spirits have searched for one another
Once again upon a dream
You are all the lightthat I will ever needSomeone to get high withwithout need for weed
You are all the lovethat, to mend me, knows howA charm of good luckthat leaves me star-struck
This is the unromantic approach to long-term relationships that is methodical and lacks spontaneity. And it works.
… “That I may Know Him”
Yesterday while I was doing the dishes, I recalled this hilarious incident that happened in the University. And I was inspired to write about it.
Some time ago, in the university, there was this young brother, his name was Freddy (Not real names), and we all belonged to the…
I don’t even remember the first time I realized I could do this. I suppose it just snuck up on me. At first I didn’t think anything…
Boy, do i love this review! You just wrote out my thoughts in details. Nice.
There he was, the man without a face,
I had heard about him, everyone had
I was curious that why did he do that, spend so much and went through so much, just to lose his face,
Reality
1–7–18
I cannot go on this way
I am supposed to be an agent
Of the really real
Sometimes more alone
Than I am in illusory tasks

One of the first things she told me about herself is that she is selfish, not a nice person, and still in love with “him.” Intrigued, I had to get to know her. I mean, who comes out and tells people their worse qualities right off the bat. She does. She knows she’s goi…
There is nothing like a mother.
There is hearing a mother speak her last words to her son, my friend who was found two weeks ago. I never wanted to hear that. We don’t know much, we just know he was admired and a prodigy and successful and he was found floating in the…

He went for a walk in the cold, clear December air. His heart had been stuck, blocked up, but now it began to loosen. He could feel his face registering anguish, and he longed for someone — anyone — to be there, even if it was a stranger passing by in a car that sensed he needed…
Somedays I ask myself what I’m doing. I put on sad music that speaks of regret, because that’s most likely what I’m feeling.
Fill a spoon with rice and slowly but surely tilt it over. Grain by grain will fall and then a clump- and then a clump-and then all at once-the avalanche.
The avalanche: the moment I lost you: the Earth shattering moment when you told me for the last time that we were…
The world is nothing but a minimal piece in the universe… We feel life is long or short; tiring or maddening
We pass through so many phases in our life and these phases help us to determine our emotions, our way of thinking, and what we care or not care in our lives. Among these phases is the time of our lives when we start questioning the existence of love. Even if we have loved countless soul since…

Artemis: hands wounded at
Her side, the myrrh trees
Frozen in the night. I am
Cruel — she turns away like
A stranger. Barren again.
Sad and beautiful. Who knows the hows and whys of love and attraction?Strangely, it was less of a mystery to me when I was your age. Now I have no fucking clue. Believe me, the person who wrote the words in your post will attract someone who sees the real beauty of who you are.
what a year has it been
you gain some, you lose some, as the saying goes, people stay and people leave if they’re not meant to be in your life, then don’t make them stay longer than they should have

Fear is a perspective about life...
When life is a premium possession, safeguarding it becomes the primary way of reacting to whatever happens... Love on the contrary is a perspective where we are the premium possessions of…

Cuantas veces no hemos querido decir un te amo a una persona que ya no esta, o quizás decirle te quiero, que desde muchas perspectivas el sentido de un te quiero cambia o puede variar según la persona a la que se le diga, a veces, tan solo quisiera venir y decirte "Mira te amo y nunca he dejado de pensar en…

I love Discover Weekly on Spotify. I started using it when I lived on a barrier island. For two years I lived in an amazingly beautiful place. The winters were dark and lonely, yet became my favorite time there. Many nights I would choose Discover Weekly for my music. I was amazed at the selections. I discovered less popular, but amazing talent, that…
#CrushEDI am very bad talking, especially with girls.Mediocre school, boy’s college aur branch mechanical.All contribute greatly to my this hitch.How to talk with girls??

I have completed a task to share most important 6 tips about the good career with one of my friend.
1. Do an internship before pursuing a higher degree to confirm if you like that field/industry
Wisest soul lying in bed,
Sitting beside, a weary human.
“Why are you here?”
“I’m here to ruin your life.”
Anger seethed through my bones and out my ears. I felt as if straight from my heart and out every pore of my being was blowing the fiery steam of detestation. Yet I smiled and grit my teeth at the young strapping hypocrite standing before me. Blue eyes glinted as Veronica clung to him…
You loved him. Forever and always you will. That’s what you promise yourself. He was everything and nothing. He was the air you breathed. You lie in the dark cool satin suffocating. How do you be okay?
He hit you today. It was gentle. He was just angry. It wont happen again. A belt, a hand, a car. It wont happen again. And it does. Again and again. The bruises get bigger the the welts darker. A broken nose? You slipped and fell? Thats all? Just slipped and fell. You love him. You love him. You love him.
Everywhere you go and everything you do. You can never get away from it. You’re just so scared. Its been three years now since the accident and yet it still rules your life. Small things like a kiss or a car a song or a smell. They are enough to send you reeling, screaming, and…

When I ask you how you’ve been, what I really mean to say is I miss you more than I’ve ever missed anything else before.
Your smell, your warm hugs, your stupid jokes. My head in your lap, your hands in my hair, our eyes speaking a language that only…
Some are staying on the past, and others choose to move forward.
When you choose to stay on the past, it won’t let you to be happy, it will just give you regrets, dark thoughts. The pain might not go away, it will just make you suffer from it. The marks on…

Years ago, I woke up in the morning and had this song playing in my head…very randomly. I hadn´t heard it in yeears. The thing is, I only had the melody in my head. It makes me go crazy when I have a song stuck in my ear, but I have no lyrics to hold onto to look it…
“It only takes one man to change the world” says my grandfather, a big knive in one hand, a honing steel in the other and a picture of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk behind him.
Nine years old, I‘m all eyes and all ears as the metals fight the battle of righteousness.
Despite the presence of my imposing vices, I will prevail. All I need is a glimpse of the sun. A mere flash of light to illuminate my conscience. I, akin to the moon's nature, shall…
Letting people go
This break, I lost Peter and I lost Brian. Peter when I finally came to the realization that things were never going to be the way they were and Brian when I realized he would never stop longing for a relationship-and never want to stop touching and desiring for me.
A Baby Duck Provides Enlightenment
Its now been 200 days and its over. All of it. It was three am when he showed up. He yelled and cried. He left. Hes gone. I’m gone. You’re gone. I am you today.
It intrigues me that we continue to look for something on the outside as a solution or Way to take us forward. If we're really honest, it's no surprise to discover that what we feel is 'it', our eureka discovery or miracle cure, rarely is 'it' resulting in us remaining unfulfilled once we acknowledge and accept that no thing has fundamentally shifted…
Beautiful Jack Preston King ,Superb composition of the slow torturous nature of heartbreak
There are many words I'm not inclined to read them.But the ones which are yours,I'm obliged to them.
Cuz the situation and people,Were always fake.Just like you and just like me.I stay awake , never dived in sleepBut in memories.
--I’d like to say thank you for showing up on time,Open your eyes,I’d like to show you what’s inside my mind,--
I’ve had quite a lot of people walk in and out of my life, and not just romantically but genuinely the one thing that I want for them is to be happy. Our own personal happiness is something that needs to be valued and not received by another. I’d always much rather someone leave my life in order to…
E and N,
I feel compelled to write you. I don’t know why. Maybe because I felt a strong connection with both of you, maybe because of the glimpses I’ve had of your close relationship with your son. And regardless of the credence this almost certainly cannot hold given…

I’ve become much more comfortable with my current state of sad and lonely. But I’m finding my friends and family aren’t.

The only hands that should give you a hug.
The only mouth that should give you kind words.
The only face that should give you a smile.
But all I’ve received is treatment that you wouldn’t even give to your enemies.
The Space Between Us
Perhaps the sun is just that. Colliding atoms an infinity away. Nuclear reactions from a distant age. Energy bent away by an infinite space.
The space between us.
It was a year of action. A lot of things have started moving in all possible directions.
Started with a call from Dad that he had been called to police station by my wife and inlaws! Well, these people had gone to all possible lengths to torture us. So Dad had…
Dear Mother,
Don’t you know the power you have?

you can move mountains
With one look

Sorry for treating you very important, sorry if I can’t help myself but to worry about you, sorry if you have a special place in my life, sorry if I am still here. I know I am nothing to you, I’m just a part of your shits, I even make you worse, I’m sorry if after all of this you’re still important to me. I just…
