The one I had on the trip
So I packed up briefly, bought my ticket quickly, and snored in the sound of the long whistle as night fell. It was a little hot in the carriage, the air conditioning had not yet cooled down, and the three beds beside me were empty.

The words felt viscous leaving my mouth. My syrup words drizzled all over him. We were both choking and blinking through the syrup, suffocating slowly and silently on such heavy, sticky words.

Seeking the mystery woman who messaged me on Words with Friends
You know people are always so quick to think the worst. How many times do we walk on the other side of the street when we see someone walking towards us that we think looks a bit dodgy? Or maybe we hear an offer and repeat “Well if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”?

Signs You Are an Enabler in a Toxic Relationship
When it comes to healthy relationships, co-dependency is one of the unhealthy traits that hurt both partners. Codependency is when two people in a relationship have an over-reliance or dependence on one another - and that makes the relationship unhealthy.

My love experience
Forget it, there are 8 paragraphs in total, and it should take several times to finish! (1) First love, I met when I was working part-time after graduating from high school. I was a sophomore in a university. At that time, I was thinking how can there be such a simple and clean boy, I fell in love with him, and got together after working part-time together. But after being together for 3 days, I felt that I didn't like him anymore, and I was embarrassed to say that I broke up with him when I was a freshman. I remember he came to my school playground and waited for me all afternoon, but I didn't go out, and I felt sorry for him when I thought about it.
Richard ZhongPublished about a year ago in ConfessionsI didn't want fall for you
The truth was I didnt want to fall for him. I had told myself no more relationship, no more falling for someone. It was time for me to focus on university and develop a career. Like many people you have had your heart hurt too many times, to the point that you stop looking for love because you have been too damage from the people that you thought loved you.
Kim MurrayPublished about a year ago in ConfessionsI don't want to have kids or get married
I need to begin this story by saying that I'm not bad mouthing anyone who has dreamed of getting married and having kids their whole lives. That's beautiful. Having kids is a selfless gesture and the most pure thing you can do. Giving up your life to raise another life is a beautiful thing. I admire those who do it. But honestly? It's not for me. I don't want it. I don't want kids or a wife or husband. I don't want to be pregnant. I don't want to make a nursery in anticipation of a little one arriving. I don't want any of that. Now to those that do, I admire you. I admire that your hearts desire is to raise another human and teach them all kinds of stuff. I admire that you want to see your kid go off to college and get married and all that. But that's not for me. I don't want to have kids. It's never been on my heart. I don't want a family of my own. At least a human family anyway. I would however love a fur family. I'd love to have a house full of dogs and cats. I'd love to let them play in my fenced in yard while I have breakfast. I'd love to snuggle with them during a thunderstorm or while watching a movie. I'd love to take my dogs on a hike or for a run. I'd love to go swimming with my dogs or camping with all my pets. That's my hearts desire. I don't want human kids. I will love each and every one of my pets the same way a mother loves her child. Unconditionally. I will love them so much and so hard. I will take joy in them and roll my eyes when they do something silly. I will mourn their death when it's time and grieve the loss for a while. I will never forget them. I will simply just try and move on. Now as far as marriage is concerned. I don't want to get married. That requires a level of closeness that I'm neither comfortable with nor ready for. All of my dating experiences have been negative or abusive. I don't believe I'll ever trust someone that deeply or love them that much ever again. I gave someone my heart and they broke it and abused it. I'm not doing that again. I don't want to pick out a wedding dress only to get hurt again potentially. I don't want to have a wedding party or a wedding. I don't want to give my life to someone. To those that do, I completely understand why you would want to do that. I'm not saying don't do it. I'm just saying it's not for me. I need to heal. I need to figure out who I am. I need to get control of my life, heart and emotions. I need to see the world. I need to learn how to be alone and how to support myself. I need to become stronger and less angry. I need to soften my heart. I need to understand what a healthy relationship is and how to treat people. I can't do that in a marriage. I can't expect someone else to wait for me either. That's not fair. I would end up hurting them as well. I need to learn to speak up. I need to learn how to be stronger in my convictions and stop thinking that all I do is mess up. I need to for all intents and purposes: heal.

Bay Area, a notorious place for dating. It is rough out here and I should know as a speed dating host. I have gone on dates that I genuinely do enjoy but no one wants more or maybe the men I go for do not want or seek a longer term relationship with me.
ChantelPublished about a year ago in Confessions7 Red Flags, I see but am activly Ignoring
When I meet someone that I get excited about, I jump all in! The kind of all in that includes hanging out most days and divulging into learning everything about them. Nonetheless, when you date someone we are all looking for the green flags. what we like about them, how they treat us, their relationship with their family and friends. All of these are make or break red or green flags, supposedly.

You walk past me and miss
Late at night, missing awake. The watery moonlight covered my long hair. Your smile always falls in my dream. Because of you, my dreams are full of happiness.
testPublished about a year ago in ConfessionsHe is here
He is here, thirty minutes late. I’m surprised he even showed up at all. He was always late that’s not surprising. But he can come up with an excuse at 9 pm when I had been waiting for an hour, dressed and hungry. Or at 7 am while I’m waiting at the airport, excited for a kiss, a hug, but ‘Babe I have a work emergency.’ What emergency? He owns an importing business. One night his battery died and so he did not show up. I was worried sick calling his friends afraid he was dead in a ditch. He called the next day, ‘why are you overreacting?’
