breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Redefining forever
Relationships are the foundation of how we build our lives. It shapes our identity and becomes that norm or familiarity in our day to day lives that we often live for. Not just in platonic relationships but with the intimate/romantic relationships we develop with a significant other. We tend to lose ourselves into these relationships because we are so caught up in the possibilities of what could be instead of taking the treasured time needed to learn who someone is in the now. In doing so we can then decide if that person is the right person we want to go into this ultimate business/relationship with. I once read that relationships should be conducted more like a business rather than the fairy-tales we grew up watching. I must say this was the most logical method I’ve have indulged upon thus far about marriages or serious relationship. As for the lack there of; of this method, relationships tend to crash and burn leaving one or both persons to fell destroyed as if a tornado just touched down in their lives.

To the guy who broke me
How come the end of a 3 years realtionship can possibly destroy someone? Well it all started when we met in the capital of Canada, Ottawa. We were 2 young adults in cooking school, in the same promotion. We started hanging out more and more until he asked me out on a date. The 9 months we spent together in Ottawa were amazing. We even lived together for about 4 months, adopted a dog together. Everything was perfect.

Catching a cheat
A private investigator once said, about catching a cheat, "You need to get solid evidence, which leaves no room for excuses or alibis". What alternative will there be for anyone, when presented with those findings? Apart from the obvious "OOPS!" I caught my cheat when I went visiting randomly. So Autumn 1992, for me, is a legend!

Broken Promises
Amber was the first to hear the pounding on the door. She pulled herself from the enticing thriller novel she was reading and looked up. Amber wondered if it was her roommate Stacy, but it couldn’t be. Stacy worked until 11 p.m. She wasn’t going to be home for another five hours. There came another pound.

To the Young and Brokenhearted
It’s said that you become most like the people you surround yourself with and spend the most time with, I guess that’s why it’s so hard to lose someone you’re close to. In the act of losing someone you once shared everything with it’s not the only thing at loss, you lose a piece of yourself too.

THE DAY I ALMOST FELL IN LOVE 2 WOMEN AT THE SAME TIME...
For me to truly tell this story I will have to start from the beginning. It is a little bit of a love story but without the happy ending. Something like a "Urban Love Encounters". Seems like I have found another name for a book or series. However, enough being creative time to tell you a real life experience. I have always been a fan of R&B and most times I look to the United States for the best R&B going but I was awoken when I came across this talented singer by the name of Ella Mai. Now I will get into the story...

Toxic Friendships
When I think of the word Toxic the first thing that comes to mind is poison. Poison is a substance that causes sickness of a living organism when introduced or absorbed. With that being said, you may see the resemblance from that definition to a real person in your life - I know I can. Someone who literally sucks the life out of you and absorbs all your energy. It may seem harsh, but this is the reality.

Writing is Therapy
I decided about a year ago that I wanted to write a book. This decision probably seems rash coming from a Dance major with a minor in nutrition, but hear me out. I used to write relentlessly, that was my passion aside from dance and so I would write ruthlessly, ending up with awards for my writing and having a published poem before I graduated high school. I often found that it was a source of catharsis, a way to cope with changing times and confusing situations. I generally feel extremely awkward when talking to someone face to face, having trouble making key points in a conversation through my constantly cracking voice. Thus, writing has always seemed to make more sense to me; I can reason my way through things when I write. It always seems to help me heal.

Self-Care During a Breakup or Divorce
Self-care is always important, but when you’re going through a breakup or divorce, it might be even more critical. Life is hard enough, and the emotional stress and turmoil of a breakup just makes it worse.Self-care won’t make it all better, but it will help if it’s done correctly. Self-care during a breakup or divorce requires you to cover all areas of life: psychological, physical, emotional, professional, personal, and spiritual.

My April Playlist
I am always in search of new music. I enjoy a wide range of music genres and am always in the mood to move or be moved. Music accompanies me every moment possible: while I walk, shop, exercise, work, cook, drive, sleep, meditate, and while creating art. It helps me to focus, to elevate and shape my mood, to relax, and to recall defining moments of my life.

Margot...
When I look back at being in middle school, I tend to look at them as if it's a franchise in a movie like they're sequels. 7th grade was the best year since it started everything, and it felt like things had shifted gears a little bit in the middle of the year, but it ended up with the best results from an unexpected move. 8th grade was by far the worst. It was filled with nothing but drama, then, 9th grade came and magic, sadness, and a bunch of other stuff happened because we went to high school after that.
