My love life is a total joke, and I’m not mad about it. The reality is that I’ve never been the kind of women that WANTS to be in a relationship. When most of my friends were talking about their crush, I was either drinking or reading about fashion. No, I’m not an alcoholic, what I’m trying to say is that my passion for fashion, my family, and my social life have always been more important than guys (actually, any aspect of my life has been more relevant than love relationships).

Important Things to Think about During a Divorce or Relationship Breakup
Dealing with a breakup of a marriage or long term relationship will always be a very hurtful time but it doesn’t mean you are a failure or your life is over.

At the risk of having my pending wedding invitations revoked, I have to start with the disclaimer that I’ve been in love, that it’s wonderful, and that I respect the couples that I know who truly complement one another -- This article isn’t for you. It's for my fellow single millennials whose compositions of friend groups range from the "happily married" to "previously married" to "never married but with children" and everything in between. It's for those of us deciphering societal expectations, questioning if they apply to us, and deciding whether or not we care.

Dating is supposed to be fun but somehow we’ve turned it into a stressful and frustrating event. Have you noticed a pattern? Are you stuck with the same type of person over and over again expecting something different? Have you given up hope on finding love? Well maybe it is time to fish in another pond. Stop going after the same qualities as the last while expecting a different outcome–that, my friend, is the definition of insanity! Go after a someone who is opposite from what you’re used to. This will give you an opportunity to see what the world has to offer.

"Yeah, one day, when you're a cute little old lady with white hair, you'll be telling your grandchildren all about 'that mean bastard, ____.'"

We know that infidelity often results in breakups, divorces and social stigmatization. Western society has frowned upon straying from one’s intimate partner, from the widespread reproach of public figures such as former president Bill Clinton, presidential hopeful John Edwards, actress Kristen Stewart, and professional golfer Tiger Woods, among others. Indeed, partner’s betrayal makes for great emotional upset, perpetuating verbal and even physical abuse. What exactly drives people to cheat? It’s worth examining the literature on people’s reactions and ways of addressing infidelity across genders, social status, and age. Further, cheating may be motivated by fulfillment of needs, the desire for self-growth, and different personality types.

I want to take a moment to appreciate the brilliance of Her. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson as the voice of Samantha, we follow a man as he falls in love (and out of love) with a computer designed to fulfill his specific needs. The story that Jonze tells is original and profound, yet does not seem far off from the world we live in today. Everywhere I go I am speed-walking past folks with their eyes on their phones, moving at a glacial pace.

It happened in slow-motion and on fast-forward. The previous floor setting like the sun, giving new light, reluctantly, mechanically, to the coming floor and the coming day. The dawn spreading out wide on the cracked, prefabricated linoleum landing with rays of florescent sunlight thrown brown across the walls like the halls with their faux wood paneling.
Love, Love, Love
I've always wondered what I have done to deserve him. Changkyun, I must have put a magical potion on him when he confessed right? It was a sweet and sincere confession, right outside my house when I was about to go in. We've been friends for a while and I never thought it could happen.
