As it always has been, you need to love yourself first to learn to love someone else. It helps you draw the line between needing and wanting to have a significant other. When you can distinguish between the two, only then you’d fathom your worth and act accordingly, consequently compelling the next person to realize what they have when you’re in a relationship with them. Why must women make all the sacrifices? Even if this has worked out well for some of you in the past, were you truly at peace with yourself? Most probably not. Some of you still might be in a conflict with yourself to choose your dignity or your partner. No one should have to be in such a position. Stop tormenting yourself and start putting yourself first. Here are a few things you should stick by in order to attain inner peace when it comes to relationships; Once a cheater, always a cheater If you’ve been in such a situation, even while filled with anger and disappointment towards them; there must have ...

We must all come to terms with the age-old truth that love is never something that is doled out like charity. However harsh that truth may be, you’re just going to have to accept it. You can’t expect to feel like you are entitled to love whenever you want it regardless of how you are. You can’t expect for love to always be present in your life if you don’t work hard for it. There are just too many couples out there who fall into the trap of being complacent and overconfident. They think that just because they’re already in a relationship and are madly in love with one another, everything is going to seamlessly falling into place. They seem be operating under the delusion that all problems in life are just going to magically fix themselves so as long as they love one another. You can’t afford to be feeding into this delusion. You can’t allow yourself to buy into this kind of flawed rhetoric. Love is never promised. Love is never sure. Love isn’t going to stay if you don’t make room ...

I fell in love almost instantly with my boyfriend when we first met. We were friends at first for a few years, but slowly our relationship evolved into something more passionate and intense. The most complicating factor about our relationship was that it was long distance. After more than a year of being with this man, I finally realized that he used long distance as an excuse to mask his inappropriate and cruel behavior. He kept me close when I served a purpose and he pushed me aside when it benefitted him to do so. Our relationship was a constant reminder that I was amazing, beautiful, and so very loved, but also disposable. My ex-boyfriend lacked empathy for my feelings, kept himself emotionally distant, did not care about my wellbeing when it came to his and used manipulation to avoid accountability and to make me believe I was the one in the wrong. He toyed with my sexual vulnerabilities and did what gave him the most pleasure without any regard for my feelings. No matter ...

You probably never really understood just how much you meant to me. You will probably never be able to feel the kind of love that I gave to you ever again in your life. You will never fully appreciate what it means to be loved by a person the way that I loved you. I got so caught up trying to protect and nurture the love that I had for you, I ended up neglecting the fact that you weren’t giving me any love in return. To the man who I gave my whole heart to and yet never trusted me enough to give his own heart to, I just want to thank you for making me realize the value of my own being.  I would like to tell you that I am ever so grateful that you chose to treat me the way that you did because I never would be where I am today if it weren’t for you. You were the one who taught me that it was possible for a person to build you up to a place where you had never reached in your life. You also taught me that it was possible for that same person to be the one to knock you d...

SIGNS THAT INDICATE THAT YOUR   LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP   HAS REACHED   THE DEAD   END   – QUITE LITERALLY. When you’re in a long distance relationship, you tend to put in a huge amount of time, money, effort and emotions into making it work. This automatically makes you feel that you must really be in love with this person who you’re doing so much for. And if you ever have a fight or face any kind of problems, you blame it on the distance and not on the actual issue at hand. You believe that everything will turn out to be fine once you meet your better half and since you’ve already done so much for the relationship, you feel like it shouldn’t go to waste and you should hold on to it just a little bit longer. This thinking is really great and selfless but sometimes, it just clouds your mind when distance isn’t the actual problem, your relationship is. So look out for these obvious signs that it’s time to just stop and let go: 1.    YOU...

What Is Binge Drinking? Binge drinking used to mean drinking heavily over several days. Now, however, the term refers to the heavy consumption of alcohol over a short period of time (just as binge eating means a specific period of uncontrolled overeating).   Today the generally accepted definition of binge drinking in the United States is the consumption of five or more drinks in a row by men — or four or more drinks in a row by women — at least once in the previous 2 weeks. Heavy binge drinking includes three or more such episodes in 2 weeks. Why Do People Binge Drink? Liquor stores, bars, and alcoholic beverage companies make drinking seem attractive and fun. It's easy for a high school student to get caught up in a social scene with lots of peer pressure. Inevitably, one of the biggest areas of peer pressure is drinking. Other reasons why people drink include: ·          They're curious — they want to know what ...
