Your body doesn’t and shouldn’t define your dating experiences even if you think it does.

I don’t want to have any more conversations about you at all. Period.

I could agonize over saying the right thing at the right time. I could try to be cool and pretend that I never get fazed by anything. Or I could just shut up and kiss you.

I know it sounds crazy because the last go around with the love you had you were pretty certain that it was it.

You won’t know that it’s been over for months until something cataclysmically shifts and you’re standing there with your heart in your hands wondering how this even happened.

Featured another amazing writer this month! Natalia Vela you're a gem and thank you so much for taking the time!

You will never be as free as you are right now. Someday soon you’re going to have so many responsibilities you won’t know what to do with them. You’ll feel overwhelmed and wish for the day when the only person you had to worry about making a decision for was you.

My fellow extroverts- I've got you

You would think you’d think of reaching out to me when that song comes on and makes you feel something again. You’d think when you feel like something’s missing, you’d think of me. You would think that in all the time that’s passed that we’d forget the damage we caused each other and forgive.

I got to feature one of the loveliest humans on Writing Cooperative's Write Now column on Medium. Lacey Ramburger thanks for being just a wonderful gem

She remembered every little thing you promised and every way that you let her down. You never followed through. You never showed up. You were never there. And then you couldn’t even convince her to stay when she wanted to break this off.

I know it’s not easy to ask someone to be a part of my life when most of the time my moods are a little unpredictable. I know it’s not fair that I’m going to let someone down because I just can’t help myself from wanting to hide from the world on really bad days.

You’re not going to be totally sure that this is it though. You’ll know you love them. You’ll know that you can’t see a future without them. It won’t be a question of its validity but more so a wonder of how you got this lucky. How out of all of the people in the world, you managed to find the other person who just simply fits with you.

It made me feel like I was coming home again because for such a long time I built my home in you. Everything that didn’t make sense about me back then made sense when I was with you.
