How to Stay in Love Forever, Alone
Until Death do I Part I met my soulmate when I was was 23. It was the night Princess Diana died, just so you can pinpoint the day. My best friend was going to uni with him and she had already decided he was perfect for me. The first time I saw him, it was just a view of his back, clothed in a turtleneck and lovely overcoat, and without seeing his face, I was mesmerized and turned to my friend and said I wanted to marry him. We were playing pool a short while later when he came over and his face just proved my earlier statement to me. Virtually the first thing he ever heard me say was in response to someone saying that Diana had been in an accident, and I groaned and rolled my eyes and said great, now we’re going to hear about Diana’s road to recovery for months. No, the guy said, she’s dead. Oh, was all I could say, while my soulmate is just staring at my callousness.

I thought I loved myself enough
Why a woman should learn to love herself Growing up I always thought I loved myself until I had my first boyfriend. I thought I was strong, confident and self assured until he proved me wrong. I thought I could trust him because he loved me and he made me feel special until the true definition was blurred unless he said it was so. You see a man, or in my case a narcissist will tell you you’re perfect, you’re his ideal type and how attractive you are. He will shower you with love, attention and affection. He will spend as much money needed to over compensate for the areas he lacks and he will take your body, when he wants to because you now belong to him.

A moment of clarity
People say that there are moments in your life when everything becomes clear. I have heard it called 'a light bulb moment', 'a moment of clarity' 'a sudden realisation. They say that these moments are what drive you forwards. Give you direction and slingshot you into the future.

Codependency
I always thought that codependency meant that you relied on others fully and just HAD to have them in your life and that you did not make any decisions without them; you did not make a move without their input. I have come to see that it is so much more.

Once Loved to Death
Do you ever have that feeling, deep down in your gut, that something is wrong, but you explain it away as paranoia or overthinking things? That’s what happened to me the first time my first husband, Josh, showed me the tiniest bit of his anger issues. I say tiniest bit yet think to myself now, it really wasn’t that tiny. The anger he showed me that night was beyond what any rational anger should have been in the situation.

He Asked Me For Money to Marry Him
A few weeks back, I got a call from Neha, a friend of mine from school. She told me her engagement had been called off. This news shocked me because I knew Neha and her boyfriend, Aryan, had been together since our school days.

Queendom
I think of you, when the sun goes down and the earth is dark, when I’ve had my shower, and I’m tucking myself in like a baby. I think of you, when my head is almost silent, and my chest feels numb. I think of you, and I laugh because I would have been married for about a year now. I would have been married to a man who sold drugs, got addicted to drugs, a man who cheated and lied to me on a loop for 3 months. Yeah. I think of you, when the air conditioning is too cold, and the sounds of the house breathing almost sound like the past playing scenes in the walls.

Young, Dumb and Naive
Have you ever felt heartbroken before? Have you ever felt that sinking feeling like you will never be good enough? Or that you're just not someone's choice? At one point in life, everyone would experience a love so pure and exciting that when it ends, all will be left are memories that will either haunt you or guide you for the rest of your life.
