All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
Seeing You III
Victor did not know what Michelle was thinking. Back when they were a couple, he could tell, at any point, what was on her mind. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Of course, he knew she loved him, could tell that much in the way she returned his kiss, but he rubbed his sore cheek. Had he pushed her too far? His mind was on the distant past and the day he finally convinced her to be his girl. It had taken months of planning and work to prove that he was worth it, and when she finally said yes, he almost jumped for joy.

A Perfect Romance
It was the beginning of summer, it was mildly warm outside, the sun was shining bright, and there was a slight breeze in the air and then there was Jenny. Jenny had just turned 20 and she was to say the least a stunningly beautiful young girl, she was 5 foot 7, thin with an amazing coke bottle shape, thin waist, long, thick, soft and shiny brown hair, hazel eyes, and silky, smooth skin, this girl was adorable, but far from being vain and conceited rather she was a rather shy and humble girl, and everybody just loved her, she was quite the popular girl in her small hometown. See Jenny grew up in a very small town with not many citizens living there, but there was one person in this town that had caught Jenny's attention, his name was Billy. And for the two of them this was the perfect year, a year that neither one would ever soon forget, the year of all years. Billy was also 20 but Billy was 6 months older the Jenny. But that did not matter to Jenny because Jenny was just beside herself, head over heels and completely in love with Billy and rightfully so because Billy was everything she had ever dreamed of. He was 5 foot 9 slightly taller than Jenny, he had a medium caramel complexion, thick, short, slightly wavy medium brown hair, the dreamiest baby blue eyes she had ever seen, a smile that could melt an iceberg, and when it came to Jenny he had a sparkle in his eyes that shined like diamonds and to Jenny he was the man of her dreams, he was the one and only one for her, the one she had waited all her life to find, it was a match made in heaven for both of them. It was as though they were the only two people there and no one else existed. The love Billy had for Jenny was a love like no other, they were in all sense of the words perfect for each other and it showed too, everywhere they would go together they could hear the things people would say as they passed by. Things like " oh my could there be a more perfect couple?" Or " oh wow could there be a couple that could ever look so good together as these two do?" And hearing these things had Jenny just buzzing around like a honeybee because just 3 weeks before this Jenny was caught completely off guard with the surprise of a lifetime when Billy had showed up at Jenny's door all decked out to the nines in a dashing three-piece suit, a little black bow tie, and a pair of shiny black dress shoe on and only one thought on his mind. He timidly yet excitingly walks up to the door of Jenny's house and softly knocks on the door, a few seconds later Jenny comes to the door looking gorgeous as usual, but not wearing anything fancy or special but none the less stunning and with a look of amazement she takes one look at Billy and says, " what is this?" Without saying a thing Billy drops down on one knee, cheeks blushed, he reaches into the pocket of his suit pants and pulls out a small velvet blue box, takes a deep nervous breath and looks Jenny straight in her eyes and says " Jenny I have been madly in love with you from the very first moment I saw you, you have made me feel things I have never felt before, you stole my heart and kept it, I have never been so glad to know any other one person ever, and he took another deep breath and says " Jenny would you make me the happiest man on the face of this earth and be my blushing bride for the rest of my life?" And what seemed to be an eternity was just a few seconds and without a single thought Jenny said " YES!" It was right then that for a moment or two time stood still, and the skies had opened and from the heavens they could see the angels, and suddenly they could hear the most beautiful sound the sound of the angels singing a song of love in their praise, it was truly magical, pure bliss, nothing could ever take away from this moment, they were on cloud 9. As so they should be, after all these two love birds just made it official to unite as one in holy matrimony, Jenny and Billy are so ensconced in the moment that it was as though the whole world had stopped, they could barely contain themselves and the joy and bliss they were feeling. Now here it is some few years later and Jenny and Billy are still as madly in love as they were from the very first day. Jenney seems to have this bright radiant glow about her, not like the usual glow though, there's something different about this glow, and Jenny seems as though she's got something brewing in her brain, it is apparent that she is a bit antsy about something, and rightfully so because she has some really excellent news that she is just bursting at the seams to share with Billy, she's just waiting for that perfect moment, not that every moment with her husband is not perfect but she's just patiently waiting. See Billy has been at work all day and away from home as Billy is now a successful Architect and is so brilliant at what he does he moved on from being employed to being the employer, that is right you guessed it Billy has got his own Architectural business and business is booming and Jenny could not be any happier for him and his success, he never fails to amaze her, to Jenny he is still all of these last few years later the apple of her eye, but with what Jenny has been waiting to tell Billy he is soon to share that spotlight with a tiny bundle of joy. It's finally time for Billy to arrive home from the job and Jenny has it all planned out in how she going to surprise Billy with the wonderful news and she's so excited she has not the time to be nervous, after all Jenny knows Billy and everything about him like she knows the back of her hand and the same goes for Billy about Jenny, there really could not have been a more perfect, made in heaven couple than these two, she just knows that the news she has for him is going to take him over the top with happiness, she has spent all day preparing his favorite meal and desert, and she has it planned to give him one of her famous shoulder rubs as she tells Billy of her joyous news. Well Billy finally makes it home right on schedule as he does every day, they sit down to his favorite meal that she's spent the whole day preparing, she sits Billy down and begins to massage his tense shoulders, about half way through she tells Billy that she has the best news ever to tell him and with the smile she loves so much and his face shining with anticipation Billy looks Jenny in her eyes as she tells him " husband, I got a call from our Dr. today and we are going to be a mommy and daddy!" With a look of shock and amazement and sheer joy in his face Billy quickly leaps up and gently wraps Jenny in his arms as they both begin to cry tears of happiness. Billy cannot believe what he has just heard, and he asks Jenny to tell him one more time for good measure, Jenny is happy to repeat it and tells Billy again that they are soon to be mommy and daddy. But the best news of all is yet to come when Jenny says there is something more to tell him, as he pauses, she says " and it is a boy!" Yes, that's right Jenny is giving Billy the bouncing baby boy he has dreamed of having his whole life. See Billy has always wanted a son to pass on and carry on his name when that day comes for Billy to go home to god and now, he is going to have it! All the sudden Billy turns to Jenny, wraps her in his arms, gently kisses her cheek and says, " This very moment here and now could never have been anything less than perfect, I was given the perfect girlfriend now my perfect wife living the perfect life and now it has become the perfect family making this the perfect romance."

Seeing You
It had been two days since she came back. Grandma Mary was sad, but happy to see her granddaughter. Michelle herself seemed a little out of it, mostly thanks to the news Ashlynn and Victor dropped on her. The whole reason she had moved was because she did not think she would be able to stand seeing Victor and Ashlynn together. She had even had a job offer with the local newspaper that she was going to take so her and Victor could stay together after they graduated.

After a "Failed" Forever Love: It Is Good to Love Again
The Meaning of Forever Forever is the endless, eternal now moment. Forever is now, was the now that was then, and forever is the now that will be. There is never a moment where forever is somehow gone or ends; it is perpetually here and it is perpetually now. When the one you love confesses their love for you and the two of you agree to love each other forever, it can almost seem like a great lie as you look back and reflect on the relationship now so very distant. After a failed forever love, "forever" takes on a meaning of betrayal and seems to hold no real weight. But I'd like to introduce you to the refreshing truth or at least what I know to be true for myself and my life.

My world
We met at a mutual friend’s house for a birthday party, and I was engaged to someone else, that was in 2007, I was 21 and he was 46 at the time of the first meeting.... Did not think anything would ever come of it I went my way, and he went his. I left the man I was going to marry before I did marry him. I moved back home and helped take care of my two nieces. Got a job at a restaurant as a cook in 2009 and he would come in to eat. It was almost every day and we became friends not knowing we knew each other already. We started hanging out and he told me that he had a son on the way and that he already had two daughters. Which was fine with me I did not want a relationship at the time, and people kept warring me about him that he had a crazy ex that he was still involved with. Well then in 2012 he told me that he was getting married to his crazy ex and I told him would not last a year. Well I was right 9 months later I got a call saying he was leaving her. Well he tried to give it another chance and they moved back to his hometown in West Virginia and that did not work. So, he came back to North Carolina and had his oldest daughter go back to her mother and his son go back to his mother because he was unstable at the time. On September 3, 2013 he moved in with me and my family and we started a relationship. Within a month I got pregnant and lost it, then we moved out into our own home March of 2014. By July of 2014 I found out that I was pregnant again and kept it hush hush until the end of my first trimester to be on the safe side. Well in November we found out it was going to be a little boy, and the pregnancy was going good at least that is what I thought we were due at the end of March 2015. Well our little man came into this world on February 19, 2015 at a whooping 3lbs 9oz and 15 inches long he was in NICU for 12 days he came home on my birthday March 3, 2015 at 4lbs even. Then I got pregnant again in January 2018 during a winter storm.... We found out it was a little girl and on October 17, 2018 we had a healthy 7lbs 11oz 20 inches long baby girl. I had some complications with delivery, but she was fine. On our 5th year anniversary of dating he asked me to marry him and I said yes and a year and a month later I walked down the aisle to my best friend and soulmate and said I do. In April of 2019 we lost one of his daughters that was 16 and her little brother which was 7 at the time. We have been through so much in the past 7 years and will to go through so much more in the years to come. He has showed me what true love is and how to become an amazing woman. SO, when I say we are strong, and no one will come between us I meant that. He is my world, and I am his. Our children and him are my motivation every year, month, day, hour and second. He pushes me when I do not want to push myself and he always wants what is best… He is truly, utterly amazing……

3AM Thoughts
Teenage relationships are often romanticized, not by teenagers, but mostly by adults. It is also funny how adults will either romanticized or criticized the pure love that teenagers experience. If you grew up/ growing up in an Asian household, like I unfortunately did, it was/will truly be a blessing and a curse.

A Mysterious Encounter
At one night while working at my job as a pianist at a local restaurant, a stranger approached me. He made a request to play a specific song. There was a moment between us that was both awkward and electrifying. He walked away as I played the song. Later in the night, while I was on my break, he approached me. His hand reached out to me, silently asking me to dance. My hand clasped his, as he led me to the dance floor. He twirled me and held me close. I could feel his breath next to my cheek, whispering to me. The heat began to rise in our bodies as we danced. He breathed, "What is your name?" I smattered, "My name is Elena. I need to get back to work." He smiled, and a dimple appeared as he said, "That's a beautiful name you have. But I have no wish to have you leave so soon. They will be fine without you for a while. You get at least a 30 minute break, don’t you?” And instead of releasing me, he merely smiled, and pulled me closer. I couldn't think. My mind is blank but filled with wonder. His eyes were filled with curiosity, and twinkled with promises and mischief. His head leaned in close to mine for, what I thought might be a kiss, but he stopped as he stared at my eyes. Suddenly the room seemed to go silent, and the world fell away, as if we were the only two people left in the room.

Self Care Sunday’s Pt. 1
Imagine waking up, you wash your face and shower. You see the face of your partner and she has a depressing yet hopeful face. It’s a day that usually is filled with rest and self care, but today things are a little different-The usual routine is off but why? Feelings are being misconstrued along with a three year old running mad. Now before I go into the story, you should know self-care Sunday is a tradition started with my new fiancé and stepson. He really is not involved with the process, but he at least knows what is happening every Sunday. We spend the morning cleaning, washing our linen, playing outside-then towards the evening we wear mask and do cleansing of the body from head to toe. It is really an experience....but today things are out of whack and as I overthink-this time it is not my fault-how could it be I just woke up. Usually in the am, I am welcomed by even a simple morning kiss, but the tension began to build making my anxiety go crazy and distort the truth far from what it was. Before I literally get to point of breaking down mentally everything that might have pissed her off prior to that morning like farting in the bed or missing an important date. There was such a smooth vibe usually on this day and for the love of me I needed Sherlock Holmes to crack this case. I thought what could make her face turn like this and be so cold to me, but I realized that I could also talk to her, so I did. The whole time I had been feeling bad, it was because of that dreadful time of the darn month. Now most people would say well why didn’t you do that before, I will tell you why. Most guys know most women only voluntarily tell you about their periods only when it’s in their favor. It has ruined much of my relationship honestly and I wish women could eradicate them sooner than later. To every man out there taking on the task of loving a woman right, commend them for dealing with such a dreadful curse. Let’s just say this self-care Sunday hasn’t been on the usual routine, but it’s what I signed up for. Keys to staying on her good side so far is by focusing on me, but trust me every partnership has it’s up and downs. She will come around after this shameful week, but it will be like every week with a new task. I have somehow survived to the evening time with a warm meal in my belly, but tension still builds and there is just a sadness over the house, it can be felt. Tears begin to fall down my eyes as I know that this may not be the only thing hindering our relationship except for self care Sunday. I don’t know where my nights may lead me, but tonight it definitely led to a joint and some brown. I put myself in a mind state that is unhealthy so I meditate to recall everything I am grateful for as I look into this bloody shame on her face. I only pray and hope for the best, but deep down I say to myself “I love her” no matter how angry she gets with me. All I can do is put it in God’s hands. For now, I am enjoying this Sunday with my stepson and he is literally a vibe booster in himself. Stay tuned for the rest of the saga next week..... Thanks for tuning in.
