humanity
For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Fool's Gold
Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you had done something differently? Just think for a second if you were to have made a right turn instead of a left, where would you have ended up and whom would you have met? That thought had crossed everyone’s mind at least once in their lifetime. This time was different. Nothing was certain at the moment until you were introduced into my life. I knew for you now four years, and it was the best encounter that has ever happened to me.

Exception -R.Welborne. _________________________________ » »“Good Morning, my Luv.” I typed. My cellphone made its usual ‘ping’ noise, indicating that the message has been sent. The digital clock on my nightstand had just clicked to ten-thirty in the morning when I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

Stop Telling Boring Stories With This One Trick
We've all had to sit through moments that have been called, "Just the best story about (insert whatever topic here)" only to be disenchanted, unenthralled and bored. It's awful.

There is one sure-fire trick that can help you captivate your listeners and readers.

Christmas and Human Nature: A Perspective
Of course, no one is the same. All people are different and unique in their own way. And I like to believe that everyone despite their weaknesses and shortcomings, has certain good, moral values and ideals and a true potential that is able to reach those ideals.

What Is Love? Fate or Stupidity?
You. It takes a lot of guts for me to write this. I have been putting it off because it’s something really personal to me and I’m scared of the reactions that this might trigger. Just as I’m writing, I’m overcome with emotions that I don’t know how to describe.

Stoneless Attraction
April 15 Sunday is everyone's favorite day. Well, besides Friday of course. I, being like most teenagers, was laying on the couch staring at the ceiling, with no plans on moving anytime soon. That was my plan, until the sound of a deafening roar from outside interrupted the peaceful sound of quietness.

Turning a New Leaf
There comes a time in everyone's life where we need to close one chapter and create another one. They say when one door closes another opens. There will always be a light at the end of the tunnel but sometimes it feels impossible to rise above and find it. We wait for the world to change around us for too long until we finally realize that it's us that needs to change; only then everything else around you will change. The people we associate ourselves with makes a huge impact on our lives. If we are not happy then we need to change ourselves, the world will not change for us. The universe will work with us but that is only if we put in the work.

Love is Blind
It was the night of October 31,2012, I just started at new job as a server at a kosher restaurant. I met him that night and little did I know my life would never be the same. I finished late that night and was so tired, he was waiting outside and I just walked right by him. I had a boyfriend and I wasn’t interested in talking to anyone. At the time, I was working two jobs and the restaurant was my second job. It wasn’t until I started working full time at the restaurant that I really noticed him. By this time, my boyfriend and I were in the middle of a break up after five years together. He was my escape and he was so cute. I felt free when I was around him. He made me feel good about myself and I knew that I needed a friend.

People Watching in a Coffee Shop
Coffee shops are one of the most calming places I find myself in these days, second only to used bookstores. Not the chain stores like Starbucks or Carribou, though my Barry Road Starbucks is still a place I frequent often. I’m talking one of a kind coffee places, where you never find the same decor in another place. Places that welcome visitors with one of a kind experiences and flavors to try. Places that are crowded with people from all walks of life, whether hipsters, business men, college students or old couples enjoying the afternoon together. Places that you can plop down in a nice leather chair, sit back with a house cup, and enjoy the atmosphere.
