Loving Him
To the outside world it was just a simple attachment. Boy meets girl, boy and girl become friends, boy and girl catch feelings, boy and girl lose feelings. The same old drawn out story. But to me it was much bigger than that. You see for years I spent my time alone wondering if I was even capable of love anymore. I had crushes, yes but I never really thought I could find myself actually loving someone. I kept things inside in order not to seem sad and desperate. I wanted people to believe I didn’t care about finding love. I hated the world, and hated the thought of having to settle down in some mediocre life with someone just to not be alone. And then I convinced myself that I was actually better off alone. Love seemed like a scam.

Rekindled Flame of High-school Sweethearts
I go through continuous changes with or without my past and yet I always found myself having thoughts about my first love. I always wondered why; our relationship was not something I remembered fondly. The scenario that always ran through my head was him giving me an apology and telling me how he never forgot about me, you know, a standard sitcom cliche and then by some strange coincidence of fate that’s exactly what happened a couple of months ago. After he sent me a message sending me his condolences about my uncles passing I decided a year later to send a message to him myself just to return his kindness.I wasn’t expecting a response but, to my surprise he did so, we caught up for about 15-20 minutes and then he asked me if we could meet up for coffee.

Is It Love?
One day, you meet someone. At first, it seems too good to be true. You seem to get along so well. Too well actually. FINALLY, it feels like you have met a compatible person who seems to understand you! They appear to be a good listener, almost too good of a listener. Then, comes the Love bombing behavior. Love Bombing? You know, the type of behavior that is often displayed at the beginning of a relationship, where the partner displays lots of attention, showering you with endless compliments and or over the top affection. It becomes clingy. Then, the behavior becomes possessive. Your significant other once made you feel like you were their world. They made you feel like they could not live without you. All of a sudden that “love bombing”behavior blows up in your face like a bomb. Your significant other transforms into someone who you don’t recognize. Now, they use the past against you. It explains why they had listened to you so intently in the beginning. They don’t listen to you any longer and have become insanely stubborn. If you make a mistake, you are criticized to no end; and, those sweet words that were once spoken to you by your partner, have been exchanged for verbal abuse. You always find yourself confused and apologetic for behavior that is not your fault. All your significant other does is guilt trips you, manipulates you, and deflects their negative behavior on you. Your partner is never accountable. Everything is your fault. You break up and they do everything possible to win you back. When you reconcile, the relationship only gets worse. Empty promises, broken promises. They want more details about you; yet, when you ask them questions, they are evasive. Instead, your significant other is accustomed to habitual lying, mysterious and shady behavior. You don’t feel like a respected individual. You feel broken and don’t even recognize yourself. You cannot remember the last time that you were happy. When you leave them for good, they unleash pure hell on your life! Sounds Familiar? I am sure that many of you can relate. Certainly, I can relate. This is NOT love! This is Narcissistic Abuse. You have encountered someone with narcissistic personality disorder.

I Will Follow You Into the Dark
Taylor Swift's Speak Now and 1989, Death Cab for Cutie’s Kintsugi and Plans, and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness are my favorite albums. But it has nothing to do with the lyrics to the songs or the stories they tell or their image in the tabloids or anything that people normally cite as reasons why their favorites are their favorites.

Dating Adventures of a Single Speed Dating Host
UK is interesting. Our storyline is funny because I thought he was cute the last time that I saw him at the speed dating event and I had wanted to talk to him previously as well, but was not able to because he had walked away so fast to the bar.
