5 Questions You Should Ask Yourself Before You Decide You've Found 'The One'
On July 1st, 2017, I said "yes" to the love of my life when she proposed that we spend the rest of our lives together. And on July 7th, we celebrated our 8 month dating anniversary. I know what you're thinking... "That's too soon! You should get to know each other better before making such a life altering decision!" Believe me, we've heard it all. Let me assure you, however, that unlike some poorly thought out decisions I've made in the past, this is a decision I'm 110% sure about. There was no hesitation or doubt in my mind whatsoever. I already knew.
Kathryn WardPublished 7 years ago in HumansThe Perfect Lady... for ME!!!
If I heard it once, I've heard it a billion times. "Nobody is perfect." Uh huh. I heard it. So what? Maybe nobody is perfect to them. Maybe they don't believe in perfection. Who knows? To me, I look at happily married couples who never divorce or have extramarital affairs as perfect couples. Do they have bumps along the way? Sure they do, but they are still perfect for each other because they work on smoothing out the bumps together. They adhere to EVERY syllable of their marriage vows and they hurt severely when the "death do us part" is enacted. I have read too many stories where the spouse dies and their happy half dies along with them resulting in a double funeral. Imagine watching your loved one dying from cancer and you who loved them more than anything dies with them because you know that you can't live and don't want to live without them.

It was a beautiful August day with the sun shining brightly down on my face with a slight breeze. I could see the flowers bloom in front of my eyes as the butterflies were resting their tired wings upon the delicate flower petals. The birds were chirping a lovely song as they serenaded one another. That is when I first saw her, sitting outside alone, smoking a cigarette, and using her laptop computer. She seemed to be deep in thought, typing away as if it were a marathon. I noticed she was older than your average college student, her short red curly hair framing her freckled face, and her glasses that seemed to suit her. I did not pay her any mind; I was hungry; food was my only concern at the time. A few days had passed and there she was again, sitting in the same spot, still typing away on her laptop. I went into the cafeteria, and when I came out with my tray a fellow-class mate was sitting with her. I stopped and sat down.
sandra gundersonPublished 7 years ago in HumansI Am a Man and I Am Scared
I am speaking about fear of private speaking here. I am talking about emotional avoidance. Maybe this is a form of impotence... I am scared of sharing intimacy. Scared of not being able to behave "like a man." Scared of expressing feelings or emotions and being treated like an object of disgust because of them. Scared... to see what happened to me as a child repeat itself, as it does, again and again, until you die, until you heal... Whatever comes first...

Hi, my name is Daniel Moore. I was recently cheated on by an ex. It's happened to me a few times in my life but this one for some reason really hit me hard. I guess because I had built up so many walls from past relationships that I never quite gave into this one until after about 100 breakups and two and a half years. Our story begins in where else than Los Angeles, CA.

For a group of people so concerned with equality we sure seem to be confused about its definition. You write petitions and organize boycotts, present legislation and walk nationwide for a universal cause, a noble and important cause, and yet, there is prejudice and inequality and though it pains me to say it, hatred within your own ranks.

Hello, everyone. So this is my first post on here and really I am just seeing how this will go. Anyways off to my post. We all have our hard times in life, and our good times. This year has been a year of ups and downs for me. There was so many times I just wanted to give up, and cry. I was unemployed, I had lost my Opa (grandpa), to cancer, my friends had just killed themselves, and I was just feeling lost in a sea that people call life.
Brittany PhillipsPublished 7 years ago in HumansGender Identity
Gender identity is generally found between the ages 13 and 19 years old. This is when teens are gaining new experiences, emotions, relationships, expectations and all of this can become overwhelming for any teen that age. However, adding gender identity into the mix of everything else that is happening within themselves and around them can cause these years to be the most confusing time for teens. They will find it hard to navigate their gender identity around school and/or home, with their doctors or even with their friends.

I have always been one who has a difficult time looking folks in the eye. I have never really understood why I have a hard time with it. It doesn't mean I am a liar, it never means that I'm not faithful to family and friends or whatever anyone has ever discussed with me about it. It's just that I am well aware of my surroundings while I am conversing with someone and generally, I am not looking them in the eyes. I have been challenged to look people in the eyes more. It began to bother me at first back in March, however, I got more and more used to it. Now it's quite simple.
Feed Me!!! I Said, Feeeeed Me!!!
Life is tough for a single guy here in New York City. Sometimes, we need help just to get through our busy day. Face it. It takes a whole lot of energy just to look this good.

I've worked in hospitality for over a year now. I always found it to be one of the most diverse and open-minded work communities. I thought that I would be accepted into it without question or judgement. For the most part, I was right.
Alex CalverPublished 7 years ago in HumansLove... What Does It Mean to You?
What does love mean to you? To many people it could be a favorite vacation spot or a memory with someone they love. For me personally love means a lot of things. Love is never ending. When you find something that you love so so dearly, do not let it go!
