Your Birthday: it’s the one day a year you are guaranteed to have someone trying to do you. Even when you’re single, you can line a little somethin’ somethin’ up. But sometimes another candle on your cake is the only thing you can count on. I had been dating this dude for what I considered […]
I’ve only been off the market for two months and already, the dating world is like a bad, distant memory I want to put in a shoe box and hide under my bed. I have to ask myself, Am I being melodramatic? Was it really that bad? When I distill it down, there was really […]
