Shards Of Being: The Finale
Years later..... JOSEPH As soon as I opened the window to my old bedroom, the sound of the latest Bachata hit on the radio blasted through the speakers of someone’s car down the block, while the smell of chopped cheese sandwiches and pastelitos blew into my room and captured my attention. I decided a chopped cheese sandwich would have to do as my last New York delicacy before I left for good and headed downstairs to the corner store to buy one.

What is breadcrumbing?
There's a new pattern in the dating scene ladies and it is called, wait for it… Breadcrummbing What is breadcrumbing? @italysistine. Breadcrumbing is a distinct way of leading someone on. The person communicates frequently enough to keep the other person interested (aka leaving "breadcrumbs") but not enough to form an actual relationship. So ladies there is new pattern in the dating scene, it's called breadcrummbing.

Finding love in a pandemic
Romantic love is a phenomena that has been witnessed in 147 out of 166 cultures but what is it, why do people strive to find it and is it possible while the Covid-19 pandemic is crossing the globe? My partner decided to give me her views on this.

When We Met
When we first met it, all seemed like roses and daisies. Then the lies started to come to light. However, by then I was to far into it. Why not leave they will ask. Its much easier said than done. It is not just financial but as a person who does not connect easily to people after a connection does get made un-connecting it is hard to do. All the what ifs flood in due to the anxiety you cannot seem to get under control. All the people you think will also be hurt when you leave.

6 Years with Brandon
I am engaged. I never thought I would be able to publicly utter this sentence. I never thought this sentence would be celebrated for me. I never thought well-wishes would come from all corners of the map and from people of all backgrounds. Luckily for me, the times changed and so did I.

Sex and Love
Hello, everyone. Here's the deal about having sex with someone else outside marriage. Yes, it's okay to have sex outside marriage as long as you have feelings of romance of love, really any passionate desires that you deeply and intermediately feel towards your other partner, because sex is something you should NOT EVER take for granted. Sex is a gift for people to enjoy. I would not recommend looking for sex in a night club, because that’s where women who love to sleep around with tons of guys go, but if that's how you want to find your partner, go for it. I'm not here to judge and tell anyone how to live his or her life. I'm only offering a little piece of advice. Intimacy is supposed to be in it, but if you don't really feel anything emotional towards your other partner you are having sexual relations with, you're just lusting after him or her in a meaningless way. The byproduct of this is misery. You will feel so miserable and empty that you'll wish you never did actually did it before. Trust me! I have a very good idea of what that crap is really like; I was watching pornography for about 18 years in the beginning of my life. I started doing that crap in Middle School. It messed me up when I was younger, so I am advising you to make sure you feel something towards your partner before you have sex with him or her. Don't just go out to nightclubs or some other place to meet your needs. To lust and have sex can destroy your self-image, your own FEELINGS, and your HEART. You will experience so much emotional pain when you sleep around, and you felt something for him or her, but in the end of it all, it is just a nymphomania. You will realize you wake up feeling miserable the next day. It may feel good the first time, but as it progresses, what I've learned from watching and masturbating, is it’s not worth my time. I think to myself, "I can do better than this!" So basically, whenever you have premarital sex with someone else, make sure it's someone you love or at least have feelings for. Because if you should ever get married, your spouse is most likely to find out if you have been sleeping around. He or she can most likely TELL if you're masturbating, based on how you carry yourself and on your own negative feelings about yourself. It can ruin your self-image, but it can also cause your skin to become unclean. I learned from first-hand experience that this could happen because I have been masturbating to pornography excessively, but I can honestly say that I am getting better every day. It really is just a waste of my time. Now that I'm 28 years old, what I've thought to myself when I watched pornography was: "That's it. I've HAD ENOUGH OF THIS FANTASY!!!" I am worth more than what I lust after. I mean, HECK YEAH, SEX IS FUN AND ALL, but think about the aftermath of what happens AFTER you've experienced the best sex of your life. Sure, you'll feel tired after you’ve slept with your significant other, but what happens afterward, when you wake up in the morning? You ask yourself: Oh crap, who is this person next to me? I didn't really feel love. Basically, would you want to have sex with that individual again? Did I REALLY care about this person, or was I trying to feel good about myself and have a good time?

Defying COVID: An unlikely long distance story
Hi! My name is Alexandra and I live by myself in the UK where I started working from home in March after coming back from a trip to Italy to see my mom for 4 days. Ah, the beginnings of Covid, pandemic, work from home and the madness that was 2020... feels like such a looong time ago, doesn't it?
