Dating
My confession…
Dear mom, here is my confession... I've had a boyfriend for almost three months already. My mom obviously doesn't know I've had over ten boyfriends in the past years.. I hope she never finds out, but I will tell her one day. I will not be sharing my mom's name because of privacy reasons. But anyway, my mom always has questioned if I would get a boyfriend while she doesn't know I've had many. She thinks I don't know anything about relationships, but little does she know I have had more boyfriends than she has had in her entire life! Knowing me, a young independent working woman, I feel bad I could pull so many more boys than my beautiful mom, which is quite concerning. She does question the messages I send to my "friend," which I delete the messages most of the time, but I still have them on my other devices, which she doesn't check at all. She doesn't want me to have a boyfriend until I'm 18+ or at least something like that. I know not listening to my mom is like a crime. But I am starting to think she knows I have a boyfriend. But she's just waiting for me to confess!!! Which I will not be doing anytime soon, hopefully... My boyfriend wants me to admit to my mom and tell her that I'm dating him. He's genuinely a fantastic guy, but I don't want to tell my mom because I'm scared she will get mad and ground me, which I'm not looking forward to.

‘3, 2, 1! Happy New Year!’ The cheerful sound broke out everywhere and people were cheering each other. The sound of fireworks and firecrackers was piercing the sky night.
Life LessonPublished 2 years ago in ConfessionsJealously
The emotion of jealousy is so strong, so all-consuming, such an adrenaline-fueled primitive response that it knows no boundaries of space, place, or time. Jealousy is one of the strongest, most primal of all the human emotions.
John WhyePublished 2 years ago in ConfessionsLoving Him
To the outside world it was just a simple attachment. Boy meets girl, boy and girl become friends, boy and girl catch feelings, boy and girl lose feelings. The same old drawn out story. But to me it was much bigger than that. You see for years I spent my time alone wondering if I was even capable of love anymore. I had crushes, yes but I never really thought I could find myself actually loving someone. I kept things inside in order not to seem sad and desperate. I wanted people to believe I didn’t care about finding love. I hated the world, and hated the thought of having to settle down in some mediocre life with someone just to not be alone. And then I convinced myself that I was actually better off alone. Love seemed like a scam.

I go through continuous changes with or without my past and yet I always found myself having thoughts about my first love. I always wondered why; our relationship was not something I remembered fondly. The scenario that always ran through my head was him giving me an apology and telling me how he never forgot about me, you know, a standard sitcom cliche and then by some strange coincidence of fate that’s exactly what happened a couple of months ago. After he sent me a message sending me his condolences about my uncles passing I decided a year later to send a message to him myself just to return his kindness.I wasn’t expecting a response but, to my surprise he did so, we caught up for about 15-20 minutes and then he asked me if we could meet up for coffee.

Life LessonPublished 2 years ago in ConfessionsIs It Love?
One day, you meet someone. At first, it seems too good to be true. You seem to get along so well. Too well actually. FINALLY, it feels like you have met a compatible person who seems to understand you! They appear to be a good listener, almost too good of a listener. Then, comes the Love bombing behavior. Love Bombing? You know, the type of behavior that is often displayed at the beginning of a relationship, where the partner displays lots of attention, showering you with endless compliments and or over the top affection. It becomes clingy. Then, the behavior becomes possessive. Your significant other once made you feel like you were their world. They made you feel like they could not live without you. All of a sudden that “love bombing”behavior blows up in your face like a bomb. Your significant other transforms into someone who you don’t recognize. Now, they use the past against you. It explains why they had listened to you so intently in the beginning. They don’t listen to you any longer and have become insanely stubborn. If you make a mistake, you are criticized to no end; and, those sweet words that were once spoken to you by your partner, have been exchanged for verbal abuse. You always find yourself confused and apologetic for behavior that is not your fault. All your significant other does is guilt trips you, manipulates you, and deflects their negative behavior on you. Your partner is never accountable. Everything is your fault. You break up and they do everything possible to win you back. When you reconcile, the relationship only gets worse. Empty promises, broken promises. They want more details about you; yet, when you ask them questions, they are evasive. Instead, your significant other is accustomed to habitual lying, mysterious and shady behavior. You don’t feel like a respected individual. You feel broken and don’t even recognize yourself. You cannot remember the last time that you were happy. When you leave them for good, they unleash pure hell on your life! Sounds Familiar? I am sure that many of you can relate. Certainly, I can relate. This is NOT love! This is Narcissistic Abuse. You have encountered someone with narcissistic personality disorder.

Taylor Swift's Speak Now and 1989, Death Cab for Cutie’s Kintsugi and Plans, and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness are my favorite albums. But it has nothing to do with the lyrics to the songs or the stories they tell or their image in the tabloids or anything that people normally cite as reasons why their favorites are their favorites.
