A lot of people will raise hell about significant others doing almost everything together. That used to be normal, right? But so was chivalry. A lot of things have changed over the years, and norms are no longer cool. But one thing will never change in my opinion is that your significant other should also be your best friend.Why? Let's define "best friend," according to Urban Dictionary,"Best...

You’re imperfect, I won’t say you’re perfect. You have a way to calm me and push my buttons at the same time. You know what to say at times and other times you often say the wrong things. You live your life the way you want to and refuse to let anyone from stopping you to do so.So maybe that’s why I’m falling for you. Because of the way you see life, the way you perceive it, the way you...

From day one we just kind of got each other... gurl, you had me at hello.We went through every single stage together. From the nice stage where it was strictly all compliments and no teasing to the "hey you d*ckhead f*cking answer me,” to the literally no convo is off limits phase and then to the final phase where it went something like: “Yo I’m having dinner with your mom. Are you going...

When you find a rare connection with someone, you can’t always explain it in words. It’s not the things they do, exactly. It’s how you see them in a different light because they surprise you in little, simple ways...1. When they notice you dropped your hat, and they pick it off for you. You didn’t even notice yourself. Savior.2. They put their phone away when they talk to you. You know...

Let me start off by saying, thank you.Thank you for looking at me in a way that no one has ever looked at me before.Thank you for having that indescribable glow in your eyes, that allowed me to finally believe the words I was hearing.You allowed me to think and feel as if I no longer needed to critique myself — to change something about myself — in order to be deserving of love.I am so...

Dear Daddy,We both knew this day was coming. While it’s the happiest day of my life, it also comes with a heavy heart. For as long as I can remember, it’s been you and me. Now the day has come and you have to share me. I know your heart broke when he asked for your blessing and I bet you held back tears as you said yes. To give away someone you love most you must believe that he can handle the...

Some may say that “douche” (bag or lord) is a vaguely sexist insult. But I think it’s perfect: an outdated tool that’s probably bad for my health, and that I’ll never allow near my vagina again.You’re not mysterious.I told all my friends that you were “complicated” and “troubled” and “just busy with work right now.” Yeah, no, turns out you’re just a cruel clown.It’s not...

So, this week I officially moved out of my parents house and across country for college. I went from being a Florida beach bum to...well, a beach bum stuck in the Utah snow.If you're like me, you are a home body. I am the oldest of 5 children, so naturally, I don't have much of a social life. I don't like to go out a whole lot unless I know the people going and I trust them. Plus, being a writer...

It's hard to not be so serious and have fun when all your life people have depended on you to be the adult.People have depended on you to make things right, or to always be there when they need you. To pick them up when they fall. To dry their tears.I'm tired of being the one who cheers up people when they're sad.Because when i'm the one in need of someone, nobody's there to make me feel better....

Its Christmas eve, and I have never felt less christmasy.Yeah, that's probably not a word, I know. But it's true. Right? This year everything gone by pretty fast. Just yesterday it was Halloween. Or it was summer and we ran around in the surf.But, for some reason, this christmas doesn't feel special. Maybe it's the fact that it hasn't gotten cold? Or that everyone has been trying to kill each...
