I grew up in the Bay Area of California. Everyone is usually too busy or too entitled for an act of kindness. It's the kind of place where most people cannot seem to return a simple smile. As a little girl, I always tried to share a smile. That was something that quickly died into a head nod or I would simply just pretend I didn't see them. Something you'll notice if you live there or visit, everyone will often walk by you on their phones or eyes forward as if they were some well-tanned zombies. Something that changed when I moved to Portland Oregon.

Diary of a Single Mom
It's hard to find "the one". You think you found him (or her) until you realize they just played a really good game. I guess it was partially my fault. I rushed into a new relationship after the last one failed. And when I say failed, I mean royally F'd up. So when this cute guy came into my life spouting all the right things, of course I had to. Right? It's a classic "if I had known then what I know now" situation. However, I like to remind myself, if I had never fallen for his facade I would never have met my true loves.
