An Open Letter to My Boyfriend
I love you so much. I have no words to describe my awe for you. Since the day we swiped right on each other, I have been so blessed that you came into my life. But, let me ask you (the reader) this, have you ever met someone that, from the very first moment you laid eyes on them, you're whole world had stopped and everything seemed to have changed in a blink of the eye. If so, then you know exactly how I feel for Tyler. I was going through so much in those few months before I met you, I was going through a hard breakup, and school was so stressful. And you somehow made everything so much better. When you came and picked me up to go to the gym for our first time meeting. I was so nervous, I was jumping out of my skin. I hid in the bathroom when you rolled up to my house, that's how scared I was. I was scared of the outcome, because everyone says that Tinder is just for hooking up. Some of the guys that swiped right on me were just asking to have sex or some stupid shit like that. You have somehow made me feel so special every day since then. You are my best friend, and my one and only. I know we've only been together for 5, almost 6 months, and only knowing each other for a month beforehand. I love you more today than I did yesterday. And I'll love you more tomorrow than I do today. I always hate those days when you feel as if I don't love you but that's not true! And I don't want you feeling that way EVER! You make me feel wonderful. I have been through a lot in my 18, almost 19 years of being alive. Starting with Dad completely walking out of my life, once he had a new kid. Every moment we spend together is another one of my dreams coming true. There isn't a day when we hang out, that we don't end up making one memory, for example, when I spoiled you with The Melting Pot. I know I overreact a lot, and I'm sorry. It's just how I am as a person, I'm so fearful that I might say or do something to make you lose feelings for me. I'm worried you won't want me anymore. I was scared to love you at first, out of fear that you would hurt me, but I did and it's the best thing I've ever done. Now, I only fear of waking up and this all being a dream. You complete me. You make my life so amazing and I don't know how else to repay you but to love you as much as you love me. And I am so proud of the person you have become since we met, you're such a strong and independent guy. And it's amazing because you're only twenty years old, and you're living on your own, and paying your own bills. You're so mature for your age, and I'm proud of who you've become since college. One thing I love that you do is, you make me feel beautiful and wanted. I have never felt like that by a man before, and now I know what it feels like to be truly loved and cared for by a man. I am so thankful for what we have. You are the only man I ever want to share my life with. I could never imagine what it would be like if we were to lose each other. I don't even want to think about it. If we ever get into an argument, I'm always afraid one day you'll get tired of me. I know you say that you never want to leave unless I leave you, but I'm still afraid. You are the love of my life, and I love you and I will until the day I die. Hopefully, when that day comes, I will still have you by my side. I know this is a lot to say at this point, but I want to grow old with you, and create a future for us, with children and living with each other. And I know I sound crazy for saying all of this, but it's the truth. And I don't care what anyone else says about it. When I'm older, I'll look back at the way we argued about things that were so insignificant and we'll laugh and know that our love was strong enough to overcome every argument. I just want you to know that I'm thankful that you came into my life, and I will love you until the end of my days. I'm still crazy for you baby, and I always will. I love you so much.

Meeting My Soulmate
POF is your average dating website. You get creeps, users, abusers, free food, mostly disappointing sex, and sometimes—just sometimes—a romantic story that results in actual marriage. Well, this is my story about the first time I met my fiancé.

Twin Flames — The Divine Union
I am sure many of you have read my previous article on "Twin Flame & Soul Mate... The Difference," but if you have not yet, please do. This article is literally to shed more light on twin flames and their purpose in each other’s lives. Not many know about the concept of twin flames, as many are used to hearing about soul-mates. With soul-mates, you have many; anyone, from your mother to your brother, sister, or friend could be your soul-mate. We have a soul tribe. And often times, the relationships we've had in the past are karmic relationships. A karmic relationship is a romantic bond that is formed with someone in your soul group and it's a relationship designed to heal past life lessons and pain. Karmic relationships are the type of soul-mate relationships that no one wants, but everyone has.

Color Wars
His world had been one of black and white—the monochromatic colors coming together to form a soundless melody; like the static within old movies, where you have to rewind and click play if you want to start all over. His world was dark. The dizzying haze of blacks and whites swirling throughout his mind, like he was a misplaced cloud amidst a storm. Yet he remained calm‚ well, as calm as Kai Krowli could ever be—ignoring all the talk about color and soulmates.

An Open Letter to My Best Friend
I have no idea where to start; you have become such a huge part of my life in the past six or seven months that I have known you. You're my best friend, and you love me for me. You may judge me at times, but I think it's all out of love—or you may be making fun of me. I do the same to you, so it's fair. I love all of our endless ice cream trips, and all of our trips to Wawa or anywhere that involves food, because that's what we do the most. I understand that we can both be pains in the butt more times than we can count, but it's how humans were made. We're all made to make mistakes, and to piss people off, but it's just how we are. As Hannah Montana once said, "Nobody's Perfect." I know this will sound so cliché but I have never felt this way about anyone before; you make me feel so very special, and loved. You're one of the few that I can completely be my ridiculous self with. We jam out, we laugh, and we have cried. Whether it be positive or negative tears, I'm glad to have you with me by my side. You're moving in with me in a few weeks, and I couldn't be happier. I hope this all works out. I'm not saying it won't, but many couples our age don't last very long. And I know I'm not religious or anything, but I hope to God nothing bad happens to us. I have only known you for a little time, but it feels like you've been in my life for so much longer, and I really wish I met you sooner. There are so many words I'd like to say to you, and about you, but I just don't know how to speak them verbally. I love you so very much! And you make me so happy! I love everything about you, even though you get mad at me whenever I do something stupid. But I know it's all because you're looking after me, or because you care about me. I miss you whenever you're not around, and I'm mad I can't see you 24/7, but I'll live. You can't always get what you want! Thank you for being so kind, and for spoiling me most of the time. It means a lot even if I don't show it. I have fallen deeply in love with you. I love you more today than I did yesterday, and I will love you more tomorrow than I do today. I apologize straight from the heart when I ignore you whenever you make an attempt to make me feel better after one of our pointless arguments. I overreact a lot, and it can get really annoying. I'm afraid one day I will say something or do something that'll make you lose your feelings for me. I'm worried you'll wake up one morning and not want me anymore. Thank you for making me feel beautiful. Thank you for giving much more than I could ever ask for. You are the one I want to share my life with. I never want to imagine what life would be like if I lost you somehow. I don't even want to think about it. I just want you to know that I am so very thankful you swiped right, and I will love you until the end of my days. I'm still crazy for you, babe.

The Beauty in the Struggle
Many people think that long distance relationships aren’t real and won’t last but not everything is about physical attributes of a relationship. Usually, the people that say things like this are the ones that have never experienced that kind of love. Of course, it’s much easier to be with someone that lives near you that you could see often. But, the mindset most people have is that you aren’t able to like someone or to even fall in love with someone because you haven’t met them before. This definitely isn’t true. Long distance relationships are so underrated because people don’t realize how hard it is not being able to hold your lover in your arms. Everyone can say having a local significant other is better because you can always see them but my argument is that the feeling you get after meeting your lover for the first time and finally holding them after all those days, weeks and months spent dreaming and longing for your partner. No feeling compares to it. People claim the feelings aren’t real and it doesn’t last but then they can’t explain how so many people that started in long distance relationships have got married. Long distance relationships are hard because you don’t get to fall asleep to the embrace of your lover or wake up to their face but their feelings are valid and no one is allowed to say that long distance is a myth because it isn’t. It just works out for some people and doesn’t work out for others.

Hopeless Romantic
I’ve always been a hopeless romantic. Growing up, I watched a lot of movies about best friends falling in love with each other and happy endings. I guess, in a way, we all do. As such, even if I didn’t realize it, I chased after this idea of romance that was more fairy tale than reality. Maybe that’s part of why I believed the things I did, part of why certain things happened the way they did. As I got older, I became cynical and started to hope for these romantic ideas but also be fully aware they would never happen to me. Or maybe I just got tired of being disappointed. In hindsight, I've been blessed, I've had three great loves in my life.

The Love of My Life
8/18/2015 Dear parents: Her name was Heaven Harris. You probably knew her some time when we were kids. She was a young girl. I would say she was, at most, twenty years old at that time. Beautiful, tan skin; tight, curly hair; majestic, olive green eyes, and a bright smile that could make you fall in love instantly. Back in 1985, we were dancing to "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham! I had just pulled together my courage to invite the most wanted woman in town. She was the new gem that everybody drooled for, but I already knew her like the back of my hand, since we had met each other back in Kansas when we were really young. There I found myself. Finally dancing with Heaven on the floors of the crowded and loud discotheque in New York. She was looking charming, as per usual. The night was young and all for ourselves. Little did I know, it was the beginning of the end.

My Letter to Thomas
This is a letter I wrote to an ex-boyfriend before we got together. I like writing letters to people. I write lots of them and they seem to help me sort out how I'm feeling. I change names to protect identity.

The Countdown Complication
Something that I’ve always wondered is why God makes us look for soulmates and true love. Why not put a timer on someone's wrist with a countdown to when they will meet the love of their life? I mean I guess that would be too easy then. But with something as serious as love, why not make it simple? I mean dating and first loves and heartbreak and all the complications that go along with it… it just makes everything so damn annoying. A timer in the wrist that then falls out once its job is done would be pretty damn fantastic. I mean, could you imagine it?

Soulmates?
In a society that capitalizes on hooking up, believing in the idea of soulmates can be quite difficult. Is there such thing as a soulmate? Is love at first sight just a farce? Questions we all ask ourselves during out single states, but when we meet that one person who makes our heart flutter, we start questioning if maybe our bitter ideas on love are wrong. Now, we might go through a few breakups, or maybe even quite a few, but the cycle is the same. A guy or girl makes our hearts flutter. That leads to dating and intimacy, and then you either end up happily ever after or you break up. That brings up the same bitter ideas on love...well that is until the next guy or girl comes along. The question remains: How will we know when we've met the one?

I, the Servant
I heard the knock and quickly hastened to the door. Before I touched the handle I made sure to straighten my attire and hold in any signs of exhaustion from crossing the large estate. Once I had composed myself I opened the large set of wooden double doors to see who was behind them. I was met by a young girl not much smaller than myself in over sized jeans, a large Rick and Morty t-shirt, and a dingy brown jacket. She had her hair tied back in a pony tail and midnight black, framed glasses that adorned her face. At most she was cute, but not at all the kind of girl I was used to knocking on the doors at this hour.
