6 Signs You are Dating a FB Who Thinks He’s a Good Guy

I know I'm a little late with this, seeing how we're all waiting on Season 3 of Insecure, however, the subject never dies and I personally feel like we let this one fly over our heads.

I Think I’ve Found The “Flu Shot” For Heartbreak

There are so many blogs, podcast, songs, and books that talk about love. They give advice from how to fall in love to how to get over a heartbreak.

Love Me Ugly

Everyone has a preference, maybe he likes thick women, maybe she likes men with beards. Maybe she doesn't like short guys, maybe he doesn't like women with short hair. Either way someone will always be beautiful to someone and someone will always be ugly to someone. What you deem ugly doesn't matter, because if a man is ugly to a woman, he can make her laugh and feel safe and he's no longer ugly anymore.

5 Lessons You Learn About Marriage From The Outside Looking In

They inspired me to have this conversation.
