I don't think you ever forget the touch of past lovers, the way your heart used to soar at just the thought of them. You can't erase the feeling of their hands on you, how it felt to be held and hugged. To laugh and cry with them. You remember both the good and the bad things, but the bad sometimes make the good only seem sweeter and more sad. Sometimes you don't think of them for months or years,...

So I broke up with my fiancé about 6 weeks/2 months ago, as he was emotionally detached and I wasn't happy in the relationship and all such things. He's still telling everyone that we're together and acting as if we are, i.e. constantly texting/calling me, hugging and trying to kiss and cuddle, calling me pet names and everything. I've made it very clear we aren't together and won't be anymore,...

There were a few days of flurry, maybe a few weeks if you were lucky, before it settled in again. It, that suffocating feeling of being stuck in the proverbial rut. Doing the same things the same way every day, knowing that you were stuck and hating yourself for it, but hating yourself in a distant, muffle way. The hatred was as muffled as everything else in the world-covered by a grey sheen of...

So the year has started, and already I'm busier than hell. New job I've been wanting forever, a loan for a motorcycle, a new house for my fiance and I to hopefully move into soon, and a whole scattering of other things. I have no money left from making payments on loans, rent money and deposit, etc, but I have this amazing feeling of satisfaction. My only concern is making bank to keep up on...

So my father has recently decided to leave his second wife, after eleven years together. I've never liked her, hated her in fact, and approve of his decision. She's verbally abused him for the past decade and generally made his life a living hell. But he can't seem to get up the courage to actually leave. He talks about it, makes plans, but at the last second breaks and never goes through with it....

So college has gone down the drain for me. The college has yet to receive my transcripts and I move there Wednesday, and until they get my paperwork I have to pay out of pocket. That's almost $2,000 a month that I don't have. I'll have to pull out of college and either start somewhere else in the winter semester or find something else to do with my life. Problem is I'm useless at all the things I...

So I just froze my ass off standing outside for ten minutes to watch the lunar eclipse and get a peek at Mars. The sky here is nice and clear and the moon looked amazing! Mars was so much brighter than normal and the moon was completely worth it; the colors were awesome, red and orange and amber at one end with a white crescent around the bottom edge. It was a good moment to just nerd out and be...

I know this sounds corny and totally sappy, but what are some sweet things that your boyfriend/girlfriend do for you? Or don't do that you wish they would? They can be really simple like giving you a little handmade gift or something big and extravagant such as a fancy dinner to make you remember exactly why you fell in love with them in the first place. Or things that just make you melt in...

This is something that is a really big debate between me and other people in my family/immediate circle. So, my parents say that music is important, yeah, but it's just a combination of sounds that make us happy or sad. It's 'just music'. And then my friends and I sit there, so stunned, because if it wasn't for music we probably wouldn't even be here. We've had a lot of issues (who the hell...

Now that it's freezing cold and I refuse to go outside except on pain of running out of food, I've been reading books left and right. I'm an avid reader to begin with, but this is insane. Stacks and stacks of books around my room, taking up more space than I have to spare. I've really expanded my interests when it comes to reading, especially as I get closer to college. Pretty much everything from...
