All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
Six Years of Waiting
A lot of people consider crushes we have at the age of eleven to be ridiculous. But we've all experienced it. In my case, it was the stereotypical "new guy at school" crush. I was in my last year of primary school, and a new boy joined, an American boy for that matter. Being a shy and pretty unsocial kid, I'd never come face-to-face with an American person before, so when this unicorn of a boy turned up at my basic British school, I was fascinated.

The Mindset of Cheating
So this is something that has been on my mind for a while now. The reason why is because I knew somebody who had cheated on her husband with two different men. When she told me, I was blown away by it, and I asked her, "why are you cheating on him?"

Survival
I don’t think that I believe in a specific god. Or rather, I believe that there is potential for some sort of higher power to have created humanity and the universe, but I don’t believe nor follow the set of rules laid before us in a certain religion. Why does a man who’s been dead for thousands of years have the authority to dictate who we can and cannot love? Why do we have to follow commandments that were enacted at the very beginning of humanity? What religion is so progressive that it has been able to adapt to centuries of change amongst the human race? And I for one, certainly have very little to thank the heavens above for. Why should I be grateful for an eternal sickness for which there is no cure? For permanent suffering, for emotional scars, for a hatred nothing short of rooted in my being?

Bailey Evans
I am in love. And she, is in love with someone else. We are just friends. I don’t know which one of these is worse. She’s got a wall in her room dedicated to boy bands and Polaroids from concerts. She collects movies and Rolling Stones magazines. When you walk into her room, there’s always a distant buzz from her record player and it smells faintly of cinnamon.

My Boyfriend and I Got Matching Tattoos
Getting matching tattoos with someone is a risky business. Whether it's a family member, a friend, or a significant other, there's always a chance that you and that person could sever ties, leaving you both with a permanent mark that reminds you of happier days.

West's Valentine
West's Valentine Part 1 Her shiny pastel-pink hair shimmered underneath the dark, blue sky as I reached for her hand. Her eyes swallowed my soul into their mossy abyss. These were just a few things I had fallen in love with before actually getting to know why she decided to stick with pastel pink or how many other natural and unnatural hair colors she had endured before settling on it. They existed before I found out the way her dark, green irises spilled secrets she had tried so desperately to keep locked away. This was before I found out our love would soon drive both of us mad. I don’t mean the kind of mad where at the end of a story, the character ends up in a mental hospital because of an actual illness. Neither of us had illnesses. At least not the kind we usually think about, but we were sick. We were sick of each other, of everything around us, and most of all of our love. Our love drove us to do things we would have never thought to do back when I barely knew her name and she never remembered mine. However, even then I was in love with her. Her name is Val; short for Valentine. She was born on Valentine's Day and, I guess, her parents thought they were being clever, but she hated it.

The 2 of Cups and Strength
We all fear intimacy and vulnerability on some level. Some of us more than others. That moment when you reach a crossroad and think: Do I push through and open myself to the possibility of being hurt? Or do I cut my losses and move on? That's when making the right decision can be the difference between taking a chance on love or guarding your heart and looking elsewhere.

Sweet Dreaming
Sweet Dreaming Have you ever had a dream that felt just as real as reality? Like you magically slipped into an alternate universe that functions and runs on its own time, checks and balances and you lose track of everything? Well that’s what happened to me, my sister believes there’s more than one dimension and the link between them is thinner and easier to cross while dreaming. I wasn’t sure how true her theory was until this happened.

I'll Never Forget
How do you know you are in love? How do you feel? Is it like they say in movies? When you get butterflies in your stomach and your hands get clammy? Well, for me it was that and way more! You don't control who you fall in love with or when it happens. All you can control is how you deal with it. They say the love of your life meets you in your mess not your best. We always said from nothing to something, and I'll never forget what you told me in August of 2015, "Why did you have to sing that stupid song? Why did you have to look so cute? And make me fall in love with you?" From the first night we hung out you had me addicted, totally hooked. Your smile, your charisma, your charm, everything about you I wanted so badly. Then when I had it, I didn't want to let go; and I wouldn't for no reason!
