Undeserving Love
When we’re little we foresee our adult life being quite picture perfect. You know someday you’ll fall in love and meet the person you are just destined to be with. There may or may not be a white horse sort of speak. However, when we grow to be older and start maneuvering through the wonderful world of dating, we soon figure that there are different kinds of love. Practical, head over heels, predictable, deep, undeniable, and well... toxic. We were never prepared for toxic love. We were prepared for flowers, feelings of butterflies and connecting with someone on a level only the two of you are aware of. The tricky thing with toxic love is that it in fact begins that exact way.

Speak Softly and with Purpose
How we speak to people says a lot about us and nothing about them. If you’re loud and bellowing, then that shows you lack self-control and are only seeking a confrontation and not a solution. If you are shy and soft-spoken, you are viewed as someone who is weak and not to be taken seriously. When speaking with others, it is important to convey yourself in a manner that says, “hey, this is important to me,” but that also isn’t threatening or domineering.

Boys: I Don't Care About You If You Don't Wear Vans
Lets start off by covering the basics. Everyone, I'm not as materialistic as everything in this post sounds. I'm actually the biggest grub ever and I wear the same shit week to week and I thrift all of my clothes and/or steal them from my ex's closet. I actually have very little standards for dudes that I date. Just the bare basics such as human decency. Respect. Confidentiality.

Relationship Red Flags
Toxicity in a relationship is never something that is present from the beginning. An unhealthy relationship, like any other relationship, brings joy from the new experience together. There may be a few early signs that your partner may show, but the main factor that makes us feel trapped in a toxic relationship is how comfortable we are with our partner. Things start off great and over time slowly deteriorate right in front of your eyes. But after you realize that your happiness is fading, you are afraid to leave. Sometimes the fear comes from physical abuse in the relationship but it is also very common for the problem to root from emotional and mental abuse. However, at this point you feel so comfortable with your partner and this life is the only way you know. You’ve forgotten how you lived before you entered this relationship. You’re constantly hanging on a thread that things will get better. Their promises are always empty but you're always hoping and praying that this time they really will change and things really will get better. If there was a way to know the signs and how serious they are from the beginning, surely you would leave right? These are the signs that you should look out for when you enter a new relationship and avoid the inevitable negative effect it will bring if you stay.

Long Distance
Long distance relationships, wow, that's a tough subject that can go in many directions. It can be seen as never working out because of trust issues or lack of communication or missing out on the physical connection that a relationship is built on. On the other hand, it can work out if you have a strong mental connection and both sides are giving 100%. It all depends on you and how you want to pursue it. I've been in long distance relationships and personally they are not my cup of tea, but that doesn't mean I don't think they can work. I'm not going to sit here and bash on those couples or make you doubt your own relationship. I'm here to share my experiences and give some advice because as I've said before I care about you and I want to give you my full attention and my thoughts.

Abuse in Teen Relationships
In today’s age, being in a relationship while you're a teenager is perfectly normal. After being in a relationship myself for a VERY long time, I have met nearly every issue a teen relationship could have. Gas money, where you’ll go on your next date, other girls/boys, stress with grades or sports, neediness , and just plain out disrespect are just some examples. But those aren't as big as what others go through. Abusive relationships don't exactly need to be physically abusive. There are different kinds of abuse.

How to Prepare for Love
If you're struggling to find a suitable partner, or if you keep attracting the same types of people that just aren't right for you, then it's time to take a big step back and go within. Oftentimes our subconscious mind has been programed (through our upbringing and experiences), and this "blueprint" is what is pushing love away from you. These blocks need to be removed before you can find true love. You owe it to yourself and to your future love to do the internal work that is necessary in order to find real, lasting love.

Best Way to Keep Long Distance Relationships Alive
From experience, as a young woman dating someone whose nights were my partner's daytimes, I've been through it all. On top of it, I've learned the best lessons from it that I couldn't have ever imagined. I learned to establish trust, patience, and to show more sincerity to make up for the lack of physical touch and the caressing that most men desire from their woman.
