Modern Relationships and Infidelity
My views on relationships were once romantic. Designing the cut of my wedding dress for a body I had not yet grown into. Listening to each slow song with a dancing imagination of myself and somebody I did not yet know. Reaching adulthood dropped the curtain that this fantasy acted in front of. I was able to view behind the stage and understand the less musical reality of many relationships. Loyalty and fidelity were once qualities I assumed to be obligatory when sharing your life with another. However, each developing generation appears to own a decreasing capability for attention. It is almost as if a fear of commitment is installed into our minds as we reach adulthood.

Standing Together Through Tough Winds
The other passengers seemed unfazed by the unsteadiness of the air. While, my sister and I turned to each other and laughed, 'EasyJet'. At one time, the bumps in the journey would have frightened me. Even, I may have cried. Though, the reoccurring turbulence in those moments that we believed to have finally settled resembles the life that my sister and I live. All I know for sure is, as long as we have each other, there is not a thing we cannot survive.

A Simple Beauty
Lately, I have found myself longing to revisit the 24-hour trip to Paris that I experienced earlier this year. Celebrating a significant birthday, my twenty-first, I was vastly grateful to experience it in such an extravagant way. But, it wasn’t extravagant at all - that is what made it such an intimate memory.

Coffee and White Dresses
Oh God, miss you on my lips. It's me your little Venice bitch. The lyrics that ignited my sister and I's interest in visiting Venice. Granted the location Miss Del Rey sings about is in America, we assumed our efforts travelling to the Italian name-same would still be recognised. We said we will go this spring. Not too hot that we cannot explore the city. But, enough rays to reach our souls. The responsibilities of life burdened my sister and restricted her from being able to financially justify this dream. Luckily for her, I am not so responsible. I sat her down at our local pub and told her that I had found the hotel and flight tickets - all she had to do was say yes. Of course, she said yes.
