A letter to my ex
Dear you, I know it was my decision but I still think about you. It’s like you’ve embedded yourself in every particle that can possible be in my life. And it mostly doesn’t hurt but sometimes it gets too much, I just want a memory, a moment, a place, that hasn’t been touched by you.

Signs He Isn’t Ready for a Relationship
Due to some of the freedoms we have now in the Western developed world, we have some consequences associated with commitment issues. One of the main purposes for marriage licenses in the past was to ascertain that a man would stay with a woman to help raise her young rather than leave her behind in a state where she may not survive the pregnancy and cause her children to be orphaned.

Love at first site
* Alicia’s point of view My alarmed went off it was first day of senior year and I got straight A's. I got up and I looked into the mirror. This is your last year of school and your dad wants you to go to the best school in Louisiana. Thinking out loud to my self and I got into the shower started singing ,"living on a prayer", but this reminded me of what my mom and dad went through before they brought me into this world. I really miss her I can't believe she is gone, and it feels like yesterday when she left. I've realized that I need to stay focused so I finished up and got dressed. Aliciaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! "Yes dad." Hurry up you will be late for your first day of school. I rushed down stairs and I finished up my hair. I said "Good morning dad, how are you?". I said I'm doing okay just can't wait till I start college, and become a rn." I wore a some Gucci slides with a Gucci green and black zipper shirt with some capris. Also with a Gucci back pack. I arrived at school with my new car I got for my 18th birthday and my outfit matches. I parked grabbed my backpack and as soon as I got out the car...I heard a boom. I'm looking around and wonder if I should go back home. I double checked to see if there was an accident. I called my dad to let him know what happened. My first reaction I'm driving home. So I walked towards the front of the building where my friend was her name was staci. Hey staci, she says, what's up girl I missed you?!. I missed you to. She wore a Gucci jumpsuit with black and gold because of the saints colors. Her hair in two ponytails. We walked to our first class in the hallway across from us it was a guy and he was her acquaintance. He was tall dark skinned dressed in a plaid long sleeve shirt with white torn jeans. His hair was shoulder length and he played on the football team. Staci and I were cheerleaders for the team. Staci had a crush on the football player we passed by but she always denied it. I seen it in her eyes she was my bestie, but she has always been there for me no matter what. So we arrived to our class Algebra, oh how I dislike this class asked PM I throughly to myself. We took our seat first day back a test. Pop quiz. I'm like noooooo... staci says it's our last year so let's go out with a bangggggg! Okurrrrr. So I took my test and finished second and started staring into space. It was a guy who just walked in, curly hair with a 6'1 with a pair of Kobe shoes on with a white polo shirt and some green cargos. I couldn't take my eyes off him. I texted staci :girl did you seen the new kid? Me:yeahhh baby lol. Staci: why don't you get him to be your sweetie? me:no I can't date remember.. staci:I won't tell if you won't. So I talked to him his name was Zack. Hello nice to meet you. I'm Alicia. Zack: Hey sweetie. You from here?
