When Commitment Culture is Cancelled There are 5 Reasons to Ensure You Love the One You Choose
What do we do when we fall in love? Women revert to eating carbs the author of Men Chase and Women Choose says. A flight or fight response. This might be one of the only bits of information that I can find where a source is uncited. However, as a woman today who is baying off the love of a romantic courtship and suitor from a long distance I keep telling myself that this does not have to be the case, we can be a friendship that is platonic in nature if compatibility isn't the nature of the case. So what has been happening? Call it placebo, or what have you but I constantly dream and think of Pasta Carbonara, Anything cheesy and with a hundred individual stranded carbs and I am in thoughtful heaven. At another time I'd like to divulge the other parts of this strategem when the timing and certainty is better odds or at least resolved in the heart. That is where I intend to be in love and resolved in the heart.

How the Foster System Uses Children
Probably one of the most notorious examples that you may find stands prominently amongst the rest, in firm testament of just how negatively the system could impact a child, to the point where this was normalized. The child we are talking about is no doubt, successful in her endeavors today and whom many hope continues writing; her name- Cupcake Brown. Author of A Piece of Cake she was seemingly just another case in the California Foster system, but a beautiful and vibrant character in the book, you'd think it was a novel. An uncovered truth with a strong voice; too wild to be fiction! Her character grew up in LA under her mother and known to be father who had cared and assisted financial in every way a father should. When her mother died, things truly took a turn for the worst. She knew immediately what death was, and the foster system is no place for a smart child-to witness it's shortcomings. She left weeks after being place, following her rape by an employee of the foster mother Diane, skipped on telling her prior absentee biological father and never looked back. The rest is equally tragic, several home changes, electricity stealing, drug dealing and coping behaviors resulted in a couple of incidences resulting in jail, prostitution and addiction; not to mention a couple of trips to the clinic for terminations of pregnancy. She was also, a 'lucky one' who found her calling in family law.
