Things I would say to an ex? Hmm this is an interesting topic for me. Why? Well because I've only had 2 exes in my life so far and I've talked to them both after the breakup. My first ex I speak with more frequently, and I am straight forward with him. There's no holding back or biting my tongue when I am addressing him, because there's no reason to. Our current relationship is weird because we're far from friends, definitely do not see each other, and we sporadically stop talking for months. However we enjoy conversations with each other, he's like a fungus that I cut but grows back every season. So I guess I would tell him "what are you doing here, leave me alone and go away." Although I've said these exact words to him several times.  Now my second ex is a little more complicated, because our breakup was strange and a little more personal than the first, so it's not as easy for us to just converse. He calls me randomly like ever...

"To live a life of one's own choosing Is not about the winning or loosing It is living each day for the thrill of the ride, Not what awaits on the other side. Taking the process as the essence of what you do Not what happens when the effort is through The joy of each step, a source of elation The greatest gift of God's creation." A poem by Karen Lyons Kalmenson Every morning I wake up and read a page out of a book titled   Contagious Optimism . Starting the off with a positive message and experiences shared by many published authors. I believe that optimism and having a positive spirit not only makes you a happier person but provides security and confidence for the person you are growing into. Everyone chooses different paths in their life, which will be scrutinized by others, but it's up to you to realize what fits you and brings happiness to your life. Whether your happiness is in your career, faith, activities etc... When you live life ...

1. Meditation gives you a chance to relax.  By completely isolating yourself, you give yourself a chance to think without the influence of anything other than your own mind. Yes, it is possible for you to be able to meditate with others around you, but naturally if they're not participating, you can easily become sidetracked. There are people who can maintain focus while others are around doing other things, but it takes a lot of security, patience, and focus in my opinion. I've meditated in parks while others were around so it's definitely possible, but I prefer everything to be completely sound.  Li Li Nicols Bahamian Trip  2. Meditation builds resourceful characteristics like: Patience, Focus, Confidence, and even your physical bodily functions. Being completely still ultimately makes time seem slower than it actually is. The human urge in us likes to constantly move, because our brain is always working. Building focus and patience allows you to str...

Day 3 Your first love & first kiss; if different discuss both! This is a very personal question for most, including myself. When topics like this are discussed we tend to be very careful about the details because you never know who's watching, listening, or in this case reading. I will briefly discuss my first kiss first, because it's very simple and straight to the point.  First Kiss I was 12 years old in 8th grade (yes I know I was young in 8th grade), attending Chamblee Middle School in Atlanta, GA, this was 1 year after Hurricane Katrina Struck my home city(New Orleans). I guess I was dating this boy name Shaquille Muhammed, we both didn't know what dating really entailed, but we just copied our associates and TV. Anyways all we did was walk around the school together, and at the end of the day he walked me to my bus. I leaned in for a hug, but he kissed me instead, it caught me completely off guard. I don't know if this was his first kiss, but ...

Dating at the age of 21 can be extremely hard, especially for women. Women are often criticizes for how they should present themselves (dress, act, maintenance), women are generally more concerned about marriage and children, and women are programmed to have the "princess" mentally. Meaning that one day our dream guy will whisk us away to a beautiful castle and we will live happily ever after. They leave out parts like, people are normal with their own problems, you have to earn your castle, and that there are 7 billion people in the world. So the question is how do we know if we've found a good catch? Let's start by saying, no one should settle for something or someone whom you do not want. Yes, relationships takes compromise, but compromise does not mean lower your standards. Compromise is simply bending them, for example; if one of your standards is guys with luxury cars; a decent compromise would be talking to a guy who drives a nice 2014 Toyota Camry. You do...

Love | Lust I've noticed in the recent months that dating has become less serious and more casual oppose to the past. We are forgetting one of the most essential pieces of life, LOVE. Nowadays we are confusing Lust with Love, and I don't think there's a direct person that we can pass the blame to. Everyone has good and bad qualities, and we're suppose to use dating in order to find out what those qualities are, and basically if that person is worth dealing with for the rest of your life. I feel that there is no point of claiming a relationship if you truly do not want one, and there's nothing wrong with not wanting a relationship and/or title. Ladies just because a guy will listen to your problems, doesn't mean he loves you. Fellas just because a girl sleeps with you doesn't mean she's in love with you. This is real life and not a movie, and the odds are that if you're love life resembles a movie than you'll be having a lot of problems sho...

Nearly everyone is interested in relationships. You are either in one, been in one, or want to know how to get in and maintain one. If none are the case, you may genuinely enjoy being alone. Regardless of which one applies to you, you probably want to find a way to relate the complexities of relationships to YOUR relationships. Among all of the ins-and-outs of these partnerships, the most important key is probably moderation and balance. Sounds pretty basic, right? Well, it was equally as basic when you read the title and opened the page. Peep. Being in a relationship requires one to have patience and never do too much of one thing. Doing too much of one thing can drive your partner crazy at any given moment, hence the cliche that exists that I don't have to type for you to know. With that, you have to be understanding of it and balance things out. For example, men tend to stay away from women that are overly-clingy. Imagine leaving your phone in your room while you...
