Rants of a Spouse Coping With a Pill Addict
I am the wife of a man that is addicted to pain meds and Xanax. I know there are many people out there that will relate to my story (rant). Often the focus is on the addict and what needs to be done to help them. Am I right? What about us? The people that have to or shall I say choose to deal with the lies, financial struggle, mood swings, etc.? They have drugs to cope with whatever it is that they are dealing with. We have nothing and sometimes no one to help.

Lost and Found
It all started when I used to like you. To me, you were everything in my eyes and I imagined you being the right one for me. I also have dreams of you and I walking in the hallway together holding hands, carrying my books to class for me, and giving me a kiss everyday. Now, isn't that so sweet and so cute? In my mind, I think so and I just cannot keep your name out of my mouth. Day and night, I always think about you all the time.

Killer
He's a drug I don't want to be addicted to anymore but he's too addicted to let go of. His kisses are like poison that suffocates my breath. But I love it... And I love him... I think.

The Bad Relationships That We Don't Post on Social Media
Part of the reason that abusive relationships and domestic violence incidents are hardly reported and rarely talked about is because, while it is happening, the victim is either too scared of the abuser to bring attention to it, or simply embarrassed of how badly they have been dehumanized by their abuser. After it happens, it’s not that the victim is 100 percent okay and moves on with their life as if nothing happened, it’s that it’s hard to revisit moments where you’ve been so close to death, moments you’ve spent alone bawling your eyes out feeling completely helpless. Even after the fact, it’s still extremely difficult to come out and say “this person abused me multiple times because I was manipulated and kept allowing it to happen,” and it’s also hard to reach out to someone for help and be rejected. I’m going to dive into the period of my life that I spent being mentally, emotionally, and physically abused by someone who was able to manipulate and somehow hypnotize me within the first few weeks of knowing me—and I won’t leave anything out. Here is the full, shitty truth of my two-year relationship with a cold-hearted felon.

Loneliness Lacunas
Lacuna (n) - An unfilled space, Gap Loneliness is a strange emotion. Has a friend of yours ever told you they feel lonely? Have you ever told a friend you feel lonely? What was the response that was received to that statement? I bet that it didn’t quite fit as a response, right? As if they didn’t understand what you meant by lonely, but when you try to explain it, you can’t, there doesn’t seem to be any word which quite fits what you intended to say and it’s frustrating.

The 10 Stages of Heartbreak
You’ve come here because the deed has been done. And it’s horrible, and it’s the worst but everyone at some point in life experiences it. Love comes under the same neurological functioning that processes drugs, it is a literal addiction. So let’s learn how to wean off.

I'm Going to Get on Your Every Last Nerve Until You Stop Judging Me
I'm going to get on your every last nerve until you stop judging me and you better believe it. We all go through our day with a million little judgements. The person at the checkout was rude, that girl you work with is a stuck up bitch, the guy sitting next to you on the train smells. The list could go on, but you can save it for the internal monologue. It's not that I'm interested. Mild discrepancy is acceptable, we are only human after all. To judge an entire group of people based on a singular aspect of their lives however, generally falls into one of the "isms." You know those widely unacceptable and quite disgusting notions that cause human beings to generalise and discriminate, you know things like racism or sexism.

Sometimes Love Is Not Enough & The Road Gets Tough
Yes, in the gracious and holy words of Lana Del Rey why is it that love sometimes can become unfulfilling? It’s a hard and painful realisation but there comes a point where relationships don’t feel the same anymore. You and your partner don’t share happiness the way you used to, the way you would like it to be. You are wrapped up and confused in all emotions and in a whirlwind of desperation. How can it be fixed, is it worth saving, is the love there anymore, why are things not the same?

How to Help Prevent Bullying
In the United States, more than 30 percent of teenagers are victims of bullying. 160,000 children stay home every day in fear of going to school due to being bullied. And that number grows daily with teens fearful to tell their elders for fear that the bullying activities might somehow grow worse in some way. I personally feel that bullying has grown way out of hand and is a very serious topic that should be addressed within our homes as well as the local school systems.

Who Do I Trust?
Throughout your life, you make many friends. Some leave, some stay. and some just don't care anymore. Back when I was three, I made a friend with a girl named Brenna. We were the same age and did everything together. By then I knew she was my best friend.
