What to Do When You Get Ghosted
Today, the term “Ghosting” has nothing to do with the supernatural. The Urban Dictionary defines Ghosting as “the act of suddenly ceasing all communication with someone the subject is dating, but no longer wishes to date.” Sound familiar? Like it or not, in today’s “hookup culture,” ghosting has become quite common, if not the norm.

How To Really Move on from Breakups
Breakups are heart wrenchingly painful, but they are essential to helping us grow as human beings. Some people come into our lives to help us learn something about ourselves. Other times it’s to work out karma from previous lifetimes. Whatever the reason for the relationship, sometimes it must come to an end, painful as it may be. But how do we leave graciously and begin to heal our broken hearts? It’s not easy, but it is necessary. You can’t write the next chapter of your book if you’re stuck re-reading the last one.

What Is Commitment Phobia?. Top Story - July 2018.
Today it seems as if almost everyone is afraid of committing to a relationship. I hear a variety of excuses: a past broken heart, losing half of your possessions in a nasty divorce, or experiencing the dreaded BBD (someone looking for a bigger, better deal). Let’s face it, for many of us, staying single sounds like a great idea. But we humans were made to have a partner, and life is too short to go through it alone. So if you haven’t committed yet, here may be some reasons why…

Is It Better to Be Single or in a Relationship at Uni?
University is described as one of biggest life moments you will experience, going to uni is most likely the first time you will experience true independence. You are away from your parents and away from control, there may be that small voice in the back of your mind saying “You shouldn’t be doing this,” but you may learn to ignore this. A slight problem might come during your stay at university if you have decided to continue on a relationship from before. This relationship may have started during high school/secondary school or even during the summer break and you made the conscious choice to not let this ‘love’ go. The most common reason used is “We can make this work long-distance” or “We will visit each other all the time,” but most of the time it is easier said than done. While at university, you are immediately immersed in the culture, the lifestyle, and the adventures, making it hard to notice or care about anything else. So, the question is: Is it better to be single or in a relationship at university?

Bullies In My Past
In the 6th grade, a 7th grader decided to bully me by asking if I was an illegal immigrant when, in fact, I was born in the United States and have an American passport, which also functions as proof of citizenship. I have never quit being paranoid about this stuff because of the immigration crisis that is happening right now, as well as past crises. The bully did other things to me too; things I cannot mention in this piece but that can be posted on my blog. She was an odd one, and I didn’t friend her on Facebook when she asked.

True Love Gets a Dose of Reality
Growing up, we were given the image of love as fairytales, true love, and happily ever after. It gave us a sense of hope that one day our prince charming would come along and rescue us from a tower or give us true love's kiss. The reality, though, is true love can exist only if you want it to. True love doesn't come easy or natural. In fact, it is hard work and will take sacrifice, commitment, and occasionally a sense of doubt. The real question is, though, what happens when true love fails you?
