Once humans are past the bloom of youth, they began to crave the type of love that we were created for: Eros. Some people search their whole lives for this romantic type of love and for the most part it is very trial and error. Most people pull from what they have seen from the adults they grew up with. Some have tried to mimic movies and books that they have read. Whatever the case is, this love is a learned love, you learn to give it and you learn to receive it.
Sounds easy. The problem is, Read more [...]
Highly Acclaimed Digital Docu-Series Unveils Season Two: Will You Marry Me?
The funniest thing I've seen lately on social media is the plethora of women who are asking Ciara (Harris) Wilson, american singer and songwriter, what her prayer was to God that moved Russell Wilson, NFL quarterback for Seattle Seahawks, to propose and marry her. "Give us the prayer sis" they say. But I never see anyone ask for Russell's perspective. Well that's why Milton Lawrence Jr. created Will You Marry Me. Now he is releasing Season two in Houston and you can attend the exclusive screening. Read more [...]
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. It's not the advice that I have a problem with, it's how it's given, like they have found the cure. None of it works. Let me say it again: NONE OF IT WORKS! If it worked, if there was a "cure" for love, everyone would be drinking the KoolAid.
Love to me is like the Flu. You have flu shots for preventative measures and you have medicine for healing. Read more [...]
If Looks Could Kill, What Kind of Murderer Would You Be?
Typically, when someone says "If Looks Could Kill," they are talking about someone's physical attributes. That perfectly created masterpiece of a human specimen is so mesmerizing, that their looks could literally stop our hearts. However, there are so many other looks that could kill in a far more painful way. Here are three that I thought of. Could you think of more?
Disappointment:
Here I was in the fifth grade, "bushy-tailed and bright eyed" as they say, and his name was Andre. Copper toned Read more [...]
Are You Hogging Someone Else’s Soulmate?
Love and Relationships will always be a hot topic. It seems like everyone have the answers yet no one have the answers when it comes to love. I was on Facebook today, like most of america unless you're my brother and don't have social media (yes people like that exist), and I saw a classmate and long time friend of mine state how she didn't believe in love anymore. Immediate the comments started but no one gave her a definitieve solutions for her expression. Then she said something that made a lot Read more [...]
Love Is Supposed To Hurt, Right?
Making a woman your #WCW or a man your #MCM is cool. Taking usies, dates, and gifts? Who would turn that down? But do you know whats even cooler? Real Love. Real love isn't material things, it isn't a picture on social media that everyone swoons over, or 100 long stem roses. Loving is knowing how to be there for someone when they need you. Love is not hitting below the belt when you argue. Love is not kicking a person when they are down. Trying to distinguish real love from someone deeply caring Read more [...]
The Messy Girl Chronicles: Isabel Dandridge
I am probably the biggest mess you will ever meet. A true survivor ever since I could remember, but a lover of pain, lusting after torture. I am my biggest mistake. A tortured soul. How do you run from yourself? To tell you the truth, I don't even know how I got here. How did I become this woman? Was it my childhood? Was it my parents? Or is it just the way my chromosomes match up? Why do I love so hard? Why do I feel peoples pain? Why is my empathy on a level that I don't find often in others?
I Read more [...]
5 Lessons You Learn About Marriage From The Outside Looking In
If you follow me on social media, then you are probably aware that I was just in North Carolina celebrating the 5th Anniversary of some really good friends of mine.

They inspired me to have this conversation.
With that being said, you don't have to be married for marriage to teach you some very important lessons. Read more [...]
