travel
The ultimate test of a compatible relationship is whether you can stand to travel together.
Homeless
At this day and age I never thought this would become my life. Nobody in childhood says, "I want to be homeless when I grow up." The desires are big and within reach in the eyes of children. They want to be a fireman, doctor, princess or superhero, nobody wants to be homeless and alone.

My First Camping Trip with My Man
Camping with my fiancee had been a dream of mine ever since we started dating. All I wanted was a romantic weekend alone with him and the outdoor and I was so happy when he decided that it was finally about time that we go.*** I may have to add for importance that this was his first ever actual camping trip, so the pressure was on! ***

Regret
A couple years ago, my family and I sat around my grandfather as he told stories about his life. What he’s seen, what he’s done, how times have changed (specifically, the fact that he bought his first and only home for he and his bride for $11k... like what?). Anyways, towards the end of the night, he emphasized that “you’ll only regret the things you didn’t do.”

Why Couples Who Travel Together Have The Strongest Relationships
I love to travel. I mean, who doesn’t? Over the past 10 years my career has taken me all over the world, in fact, so has my partner's. He is a touring musician, I used to do porn. One of my favourite parts of my job was the lifestyle, yes, ok I complained that I was always tired, I lived out of a suitcase, I had very little social life and my schedule was bizarre and very full on… but guess what? So was his. There is NOTHING better then a partner that understands you.

Life's Twist and Turns
The road is well traveled. You are settled in and starting to slow down, even planning to start resting and relaxing more. Then in a blink of an eye it all changes. There are no more easy nights with your partner, talking about your day and what you did or didn't get done. It's just over, and you realize you miss it, how much you would give to go back to that struggle and not face the new one you are presented with. To just want the rat race you once couldn't wait to get out of, because now that you have all the time to enjoy life together, it is just too hard to find the enjoyment. This new roller coaster is too curvy and its twist and turns too rough. Throwing you and your world upside down, back and forth, and too rocky to take it slow. You both want it to end as soon as possible and go on forever because in the end what you can have isn't the one you want. Never knowing just what it is you're praying for but knowing you just gotta pray, wanting to scream but unable to find your voice, cry but no tears left... this is what we are living.

Love and a Ruler's Distance
I have been in a relationship for 2 years and 2 months now. Why is this important? My partner lives in the United States of America, in a state that is only known if you have watched it in a musical, if you have watched the news when a tornado has touched down (and/or if you're a storm chaser) or if you live there. It's not the most well known, it's what some people would call a "fly-over state" because it doesn't have the beach (it's land locked), and it's not one of those MUST visit states. It does, however, boast having Route 66 running right through it and, if you know where to find it, you will find this AMAZING soda store where you can find any soda you want (although at the time I visited, they did not have Schweppes Lemonade).
