Choosing Divorce Meant Finally Choosing Me
Three years ago, I made the bravest, and at the time, one of the saddest decisions in my life when I finally said, “Enough!” and ended my 30-year marriage 15 years after I knew it was already over. Never one to be a quitter, I continued to try to make the best of a horrible situation until my soul finally convinced me to choose life.
Mailbox Money
Winter 2021 Alex walked into the crowded suburban post office and walked to the P.O. boxes in the back left corner. He opened his box and found a medium-sized manila envelope sealed and tied with a red string.
A Pack of Gum
He came into the store to buy a pack of gum with five sticks. I told him he should buy a multi-pack--he could save money that way and not have to stand in line so many days, always in my line, at the convenience store on the Army base in Germany.

Second Chance(s)
Giving someone a second chance is scary. Once you accept an apology, you must decide if you want to give them another chance. What if giving them a second chance results in the same outcome? We all deal with conflicts differently. Sooner or later, we learn from our personal experiences and gain the ability to not only move on but to forgive others.
From Darkness to Light
When I sat down to think about what my next article would entail, I drew a colossal blank. I racked my brain trying to find something that I know I can talk about from experience.

The Pleasure Cruise
Fredrik H Renshaw was on the bridge of his pleasure cruiser steaming along at 30 knots somewhere between the west coast of Europe and the east coast of America. From his high vantage point he could see thousands of people enjoying themselves down below on his ship. He had been ship captain for nigh on 20 years and still loved every single minute of his job. Although, he did think to himself from time to time, that it was a touch lonely up there. Especially since so many people were having such a rowdy, raucous, racy time on his ship.

Will I Ever Love Again?
Everybody has a story tell and its only a matter of time before the truth comes out. My story is pretty truthful and until I started putting it on paper, I was afraid to tell my story. It started early in life, I was bullied all through school until I met my best friend in tenth grade. I felt like a popular kid when I met her. We became inseparable really quickly and we have been friends ever since, even became moms together, just like we always wanted to. When I was a junior in high school, I met my boyfriend bubba and we dated for five years. Things got pretty rough for us after two years. His family, as much as I loved them, were very dysfunctional. Things got worse when we moved in together and even worse when we moved out the apartment and broke up. I started a new job at a small restaurant and that’s where I met him. The man that changed my life forever.
Ashlee GrantPublished 3 years ago in HumansWhy I Don't Want To Date A Young Man
I have been divorced for about three years and trying to date has been a horrific experience. I signed up for Plenty of Fish for the seventh time, and this time one of the first messages I got was from this 28 year old boy-man who thought it was cool to tell me how I needed his young penis in my life.
Logic & Love
Throughout our lives, we experience love is different ways. Love for you family, for your friends, and for hobbies and jobs. First crush, first love, first real relationship. There's so many different kinds of love, I don't really think it fair to put one above the others. I don't love my family more than my best friend, my chosen sister, and my rock. I don't love her more than my current boyfriend. All three of those relationships are different and unique in their own way.

Rekindled Love
Tick-tock. Tick-tock. The seconds past by slowly as I waited. I did not know who or what I was waiting for. Two days ago, I received a letter in the mail that said: If you want your life to change or just want an adventure show up at Café Rosa for 12 pm in two days time. At first, I was freaked out. The letter was handwritten, addressed specifically to me, and there was no return address. I was afraid that I was being set up by someone. However, being a bachelor can get boring, so I was ready for an adventure.
