How can your life turn upside-down in just a matter of seconds? How can you lose everything you have worked for just because of a stupid mistake? How can you turn back time? These were the questions that kept popping up in Jean’s head while she stood perfectly still watching the ocean. She had come to the island thinking that staring at the vast ocean would put all her problems into perspective. But she was wrong. The burden of her mistakes were so heavy that there wasn’t room for anything else.

Dear Devin, I'm looking over the ocean as the waves crash against the rocks below me. My mind drifts to the events of the past year. Everything had gotten so bad after you died. I know you didn’t want to leave but I guess it was your destiny. That day I promised you I would never forget you. So here I am sitting over the ocean writing you this letter.

Dear.... diary? I've never been good at putting pen to paper... or keys to screen. You would know that; otherwise, I would have written to you before.
megan roachPublished 6 years ago in Humans10 Myths About Dating an Asian Girl: Debunked
Though this rather interesting concept dates back many centuries into our past, dating Asian women (or more specifically, the idea of dating an Asian women), has officially gone mainstream. Admittedly, I had to do a bit more research on this post than I did when I wrote '10 Myths About Dating An Asian Guy: Debunked' since a common thread links the two simply because of cultural ideas and misconceptions about Asian women as a whole. Interestingly enough, the opposite can be said about Asian women. They are readily pursued by a niche of men, both Asian and non-Asian who idolize the potential lifestyle that an Asian woman is stereotyped to bring to a relationship such as the traditional woman's role in the household (cooking, cleaning, taking care of children), a certain level of submissiveness as well as a number of other common cultural assumptions. But as an Asian female who was born and raised by immigrant parents in America, it is clear to me that these traditional stereotypes are extremely outdated and are still being kept in our society today despite the changes we're making as the next generation. It makes it difficult to truly embrace the dating game when these myths and stereotypes are portrayed this way even in today's social media and pop culture. In response to this, here are ten common myths about Asian women and their truths based on my experience as one of them:

I had a really good time last year-too good a time. Now, I was more on my own than ever before. I felt like I was no longer a part of the St. Catherine of Sienna crowd even though I still had to identify myself in that manner. It was just a formality or an affirmation. It wasn’t like I was saying that I loved it. I just wanted to be sure that if there was another Maurice Bernier, and it could have happened, roaming CK, I was the one who suffered through SCS. Now, I was beginning probably the hardest time since I entered the place.

I have lived in Hell for close to nine years—nine long, tough, trying years. I went to school there. I learned my academic subjects there. I had to wear a uniform. I even went out to play in its yard every once in a while. Actually, I do remember going home from time to time to have lunch.
Maurice BernierPublished 6 years ago in HumansHow Many times Can You Fall in Love?
Those who've read my content before, know about that one time when I was madly in love and it changed me. However, now I would like to be more philosophical; I think it is possible to love, in the romantic way, more than one person in a lifetime.
Aries in Love
Welcome to astrology on the topic of love. In this article, I will be talking about the most common factors of the Aries sign and how they deal with love. Small disclaimer, Astrology is an intricate and complicated subject that should be taken lightly and with an open mind. These factors are simply a means of fun and not meant to be taken righteously serious. I will go over some of my experiences with this sign including the struggle they deal with in their love lives. Of course they will remain anonymous. Let's get started on these passionate Rams.

Love or the expressions of love can not be measured in a day! Valentine's Day, of course, we all know it’s that “special” time to show your significant other, lover, or partner how you feel. Do we not show love any other days? It’s a funny thought to me.
Life of an Empath
Being an empath is a blessing and a curse. I started to notice as I got older that for some reason I seem much happier and sadder at times and had absolutely no idea why. It all started when I was minding my own business standing in line at a Safeway. All of a sudden I noticed that there was a single mother with 3 children in line in front of me. As she was trying to calm her children she shakingly grabbed her WIC check out of her purse, glancing around as if someone was watching her. Now this is where it gets weird. All of a sudden I felt so anxious. Almost as if I were having another panic attack. But today it was different. I felt strange almost as if I was standing in this woman’s shoes, as I also started shaking, I had no idea why. As a not-so-gentleman shouted from the end of the line “oh there goes the WIC check!” I instantly turned around and yelled at this man. The woman was clearly embarrassed but I felt like I was speaking for this woman. Almost as if her words were coming out of my mouth. This guy was obviously a jerk. No doubt. But after I finished yelling at this man, I paid for my stuff and just started sobbing in my car. I had no idea why I was so sad, maybe because I felt so bad for this woman but I was still unsure. All I know is I could FEEL the way this woman was feeling.
