All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
He Cares
I heard the car hit my side; an intense sound of nails on a chalkboard rang in my ears. The deafening screech of metal on metal as the cars made contact and scraped against each other made my heart accelerate. The car began to spin; I turn the wheel in the same direction hoping that everything I’ve been told about car accident emergencies would come to mind, and that my freeze response would not take over. The car stopped spinning after a couple of seconds, smacking into something else, allowing us to stop and the airbags to puff up. I see Mai’s head snap back and hit the headrest, her eyes closing and not opening anymore. I froze now, my hands still gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. I wanted to call out to Mai to see if she was okay, but my throat was dry, I opened my mouth and nothing would come out. I tried looking outside but the lights coming from the cars made my head hurt. I closed my eyes and tried to calm my heart, the pounding in my head not making it any easier. After a few seconds, I pressed the call button on the steering wheel and told the assistant to call 911.

Junior Year
In the end of tenth grade all my friends moved away and I was stuck in a new town with little to no connections. I spent the summers away working at a multi-million dollar summer camp with my old friend. It was amazing summer no phones, technology, just hanging with my bestfriend making memories. But all good things must come to an end we parted ways and I ended up back in my small town at the start of my junior year. I wanted to find fun and more adventure while I was still young. I became determined to find a girlfriend make friends and have a good high school experience.

When your life partner's dreams don't involve you
Everyone's experiences are different, so I can only speak for my own. My significant other dreams of one day owning a company, being his own boss, and passing a legacy to children. We shared this dream to an extent. I had no desire to be the boss of a major enterprise, but being able to do something smaller, like a local bakery in our small rural town. His dream was nothing new, he had been talking about it for some time. But this is when I was able to understand the extent.

Dear Diary, I had a pretty good weekend. No complaints here. Got to spend time with my significant other boo thang honey baby whatever you wanna call him. Like what do you even call that person anymore. I’m not even sure what to call him or what we are right now. He said he doesn’t want to put a title on it because then that’s when problems start. I HATE THAT and it sounds like he just doesn’t want to be in a committed relationship, but then again, I could be totally wrong about that. He did say that he was happy with the direction we are going and that makes me feel like he is interested in me. OMG it was soo annoying, sweet and funny what happened Sunday morning. So, his son throws the pillow on my head at 6 IN THE FUCKING MORNING trying to get into his bed. I throw the pillow back on his son’s bed and he goes wailing like someone just tried to kill him LMAO!! The dad screams, WHAT ARE YOU CRYING FOR? I tell him what happens and he’s all, NO GET IN YOUR OWN BED!! He does but after about 5 minutes here he goes all up under me trying to move me. HELL TAKE THE FUCKING BED LOL!!! I took my ass in the living room and take the sheet with me because it was a bit chilly. O is finally like, what’s wrong babe why you getting out the bed? So, I had to tell him like I’m not going to fight your son about the bed. He was kinda upset and he just came in the living room with me, but he was more concerned about my mental part on his son. His son is a bit rambunctious if you will, but a sweet boy all the same. He does have some issues and O told me about those issues before we dove into this relationship or whatever this is right now. He was soo apologetic and it seemed like he didn’t want to end this over his son and his behavior issues. Actually, he said that. He asked me like 10 times if we were still good. And 10 times I told him we were good. It’s going to take more than a 7 yr old taking over the bed for me to just wanna leave. I believe he did tell me some of the other women he has messed with left because his son may be too much to handle. I’m a nanny and I’ve been in childcare for almost 20yrs. I’ve seen and dealt with all kinds of behavioral problems and looked up different ways to deal with them. I also just think he’s spoiled LMAO.

How to Surrender to the Power of a Nothing Date
Date nights have evolved with my girlfriend from simply going to a local micro-brewery for a blackberry cider over a game of cribbage to pitting our wits against a Gypsy in a quest to obtain a healing potion. I credit this transformation from the mundane to our ability to surrender control over events throughout our date. We call these "bread crumbs." Let me show you how, when followed, they have provided unforeseeable adventures enriching our relationship with stories and memories captured.

The day my world changed!
Once upon a time, I dated this boy whose hair I cut, that's how we met. We have a chaotic and back and forth situation for about a little over a year. While he was playing weird mind games, one day my brain caught on and life hasn't been the same since.

The Pros & Cons of Living as a Couple During the Pandemic
I decided to move to Canada literally one week before the pandemic hit. While it’s great that, finally, we got to be together, I also realized down the road that is being stuck at home all the time 24/7 brings its own challenge.
