In the last month, I have met someone. Now, I have not always had the best experiences when it comes to relationships, so of course I am very weary of relationships in general. This person came out of the blue, and he has so far proved himself to be the person I have always dreamed of meeting. He ...

So many times we find ourselves wishing we found soulmates or people to share our lives with. I am sure everyone has wondered when they would find true love at least once in their lifetime.

Valentine’s Day, or as some like to call it, Singles Awareness Day, is met with a variety of attitudes every year, with 2019 being no exception.

True love will come in time

Sometimes I wonder if I will ever find the person I am destined to be with. It seems like I can never truly find the right person. And I often ask myself how much longer it is going to take for me to finally find the person who does not have major flaws or problems. People tell me all the time...

One of the topics I write about the most are relationships.

Some time ago, I was involved with someone who was much,...

Today is the holiday everyone loves — or more commonly, loves to hate. Candy hearts in hues of pinks and reds, notes dripping in sappy clichés and commercials encouraging viewers to go see the newest “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie are practically unavoidable for the first two weeks of February. ...

When you hear the word love you generally think of cheesy, heteronormative romantic films, tacky red Hallmark cards and "tying the knot." For generations we have been building a construct of what love is or what it is supposed to be, starting with "dates," what each date means, when to say the "L...
Millennial generation forgets meaning of ‘love’

November 26, 2017
No one can deny that the term “love” has completely changed definitions and meanings during the millennial generation. Over a family dinner Sunday night, my sisters and I got into a discussion about how millennials are almost scared of love and having feelings. I asked my stepdad Phil what he t...

Playing the “What do you want to be when you grow up?” game used to be filled with excitement. Every time, you were guaranteed a different answer selected from an endless list of job titles, including everything from princess to astronaut. Now, as a young adult, this game can often be discouraging. The...
