Dating
A new beginning
As I watch them lower her casket six feet into the ground I cannot feel anything I knew this coming but it didn’t make it any easier. This is a perfect day for something like this it’s raining and it’s ice cold but when is it not when you live in Pittsburgh?

A Day After
My eyes will always tear when I hear or see your name, our history is something that can’t be replaced no matter how much I try. I never thought our friendship would end here on this beautiful farmland with the waves crashing up against the soft dirt beneath our toes. I knew I should had walked away before it came to this, but I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt. Chance after chance, I could tell you was never happy. Even when I closed my eyes to hide the pain, I’m feeling so you don’t see it. As we look onto the hills, I can only assume what you are thinking. Someday someone is going to love me the way I wanted you too but for now, tears stream my face with the pain being unbearable.

Love is Ageless
I like to tell people that when you were in your mid-50s, in the last few years of your life, you had a passionate relationship with a younger man who lived in your building. You said he was in his early 30s. The next time we talked you thought maybe 29. How young was this guy? I’ll never know and it doesn’t matter. He was young enough to be an impressive catch. I met him once in the hallway. Cute.

I Could've Burned
I am twenty-one, sitting on the back deck with my father. My brother gifted him with a fire pit this past Christmas, and so occasionally we get a fire going and make s’mores. The firewood doesn’t burn very well, often producing more smoke than anything else, and no matter where I sit I always seem to be the one getting caught in the crossfire. Tonight is no different. I close my eyes, already feeling them burning and beginning to water, and for a moment I’m thirteen.

Hey Mom....this will be interesting
Hey Mom, it’s me… I know that we don’t always see eye to eye on everything, especially with what has happened between us recently. Just know that I still love you. I know that I don’t say that as much as I should, but I really do love you. You taught me to be a hard-working woman with impeccable discipline but sometimes I feel like I have let you down and maybe that I was never good enough for you. No matter how much I try, I thought that my love was never enough to make you laugh or to even see you smile genuinely without sarcasm or to even consider that my love was not a joke. I could give you the best gift in the world for Mother’s Day, but you will still believe I was never there. I know that you have suffered a traumatic injury to the head and have gone through things that I have never known of and I will always be thankful for your sacrifices that it took to raise me.

Dear Mom, I’m in Love
Dear mom, I’m in love with a man you will never approve of and it breaks my heart. I guess it’s a blessing and a curse to be born into our culture; our culture is what made our family so unique and special; it’s a big part of who I am, but our culture is also the reason I am terrified of breaking your heart and mine. Mom, he is kind, and sweet; he makes sure every restaurant we go to has Halal food can you believe that? He pushes me to do things I never thought I would experience in my lifetime, and he loves me the way I’ve always wanted to be loved, the way you taught me love is supposed to be like, he loves me unconditionally like you do. But he doesn’t believe in what we believe in, his beautifully cluttered mind doesn’t like the idea of religious rules, yet he tries to understand mine and he makes a great effort at accommodating and respecting my religious boundaries. My love for him doesn’t mean I abandoned my faith mom, is it greedy to want both? And I know what you’ll say, I know there are so many great men that believe like me, with a faith like mine, and a culture like ours, but none of them are him and none of them touched my heart the way he did. I have tried, my god I have tried to not fall for him, I’ve tried so hard but I failed and it’s the first time in my life that I am so utterly proud of myself for failing.

My First Love
Mom, I have something I need to tell you. It happened a long time ago, but it's time that I share my secret with you. I had fallen head over heels in love with Jeremy. He had been my high school sweetheart. Even though I had dated other guys, I never fell for any of them the way I fell for Jeremy. He was compassionate, romantic, funny, adventurous, and handsome. I had been accepted to UGA and had plans to attend there in the fall, but Jeremy was unsure about his future plans. He had really not thought much about college and would probably end up working somewhere locally. I was not sure if our love would survive a long distance relationship. We spent many days together, hanging out, going on dates, and just spending time together as a couple.

How I knew she was the one!
Going to college was the scariest part of my life, simply because I didn't want the same experience as high school. Fast forward three years into my college career and I finally lost my V-card, I know late bloomer right? Anyways I ended up joining a fraternity after a fallout with a large friend group and found myself. I found my self-worth and where I felt that I belong. For once in my life. I began to be happy. however, that was short -lived because my first serious girlfriend and I ended up breaking up. This led me into a dark place and I just wanted some kind of love or companionship. I was attached becasuse this was the first girl I've been with ever. As months go by I began to just enjoy being in college partying, learning. and living life to the fullest. I then did what every single young teenager does, I downloaded a dating app. I was never really the "Hook up" type of guy but I said I guess I'll try it. So I did, and it was a temporary feeling of happiness although she also somehow found a way to hurt me. Finally. I gave up dating for like 4 to 6 months and focused on passing classes and hanging out with my fraternity brothers.
