We like to use lines like “you don’t owe anyone anything” to get out of dealing with emotionally charged situations. Lines like that are designed to validate poor behavior. No, we don’t owe anyone anything. It’s not really about that. The path to finding love shouldn’t be paved with those left scorched and shattered by …
I keep waiting for something to happen. Anything. A glimmer of hope to guide me out of the dark corridor I find myself fumbling through. Everyone always talks about the door that closes in order for another to open. But what they fail to mention is the wait in the hallway. Doors don’t just open …
Stop giving other people your unsolicited love advice. In fact, stop listening to other people’s love advice. I know you’re afraid of falling that deep again.
