Romantic Attraction Is Different from Sexual Attraction
In a relationship there's usually a lot of love, cuddling, giving gifts, complimenting, sex, and everything else to express love and affection. Without any of these aspects, are you really in a relationship? Actually, some people's version of a relationship can be the complete opposite, because not everyone's relationship is the same — there are different types of relationships. But in this case, there's a lot of touching and affection.

John and Jane
As a creative writer, I tend to take a different approach to analyzing everyday situations. The following article is an example of this. It introduces two characters and scenes from their life in order to demonstrate a current societal plague.

"Is This Love?"
“Is this love?” I thought as he asked me to marry him. I exclaimed, “What, I don’t know what to say!” “Just say yes,” He demanded.

Conversations with a Ghost
It always seems like my best ideas come to be mid-drink in an airport bar where I wait for my three hour layover to pass. It's the same old cantina, the same old seat, near the same old gate at Dallas Love Airfield.

Loving More Than One
Polyamory as a word itself has two meanings: Poly meaning many and amor meaning love so polyamory means to have many loves. Yet polyamory is more than just a word. It is a lifestyle.

Why Women Aren't Attracted to Nice Guys
As a relationship writer, I get a lot of questions about love from just about everyone. I get questions from married men, single women, people in almost-relationships, and more. I've heard scandals, stories, and more confessions than I know what to do with. Such is the life of a love writer, I suppose.

A Personal Definition of Crazy
Now I have to admit; the term 'crazy' can be misconstrued in many different ways. What is it to be considered crazy? We each have our own subjective way of deciding which person seems deserving of this word with little to no actual meaning behind it. Is “crazy” just another societal term that places people into a bubble, or is it an actual problematic trait that can be proven rationally. Honestly, I can’t answer these questions even if I wanted to. All I know is what, exactly, it means to me; nothing. Let me explain.

Hope Says No
Do you know that feeling when you miss someone so much, but the thought of seeing them is too surreal? You want to see them, but you wouldn't know what to do if you actually saw them? Someone so distant, they've become a part of your imagination, and there's no telling what's real and what isn't.

The Fear Within
Getting ready for work. I've taken a shower, gotten dressed and brushed my teeth. It's a typical Tuesday afternoon. I feel like today is going to be a good day. I say this while in the comfort of my own house. But, as I start getting ready to leave, I grab my keys and phone, put on my jacket and take a deep breath.

Letters to the Me I Used to Be
Dear Me in 1984, I want you to know I am here and I love you. I am from the future and time travel is real but it is not what you might expect it to be, it is not like you see it in the movies. Each person has the ability to travel forward or backward in time and to even make time stand still. Sadly, although most people can travel through time, most either don’t know they can or they don’t think to do it. That’s why it has taken me so long to come back to you – I didn’t realise until now that I could.

Let's Talk Polyamory
In today's world, monogamous relationships are the norm. In fact, most people don't think that there is an option besides monogamy. After all, if you aren't Mormon, then you aren't going to be in a place to date multiple people, right? Not necessarily. As a young woman in a polyamorous relationship, I am here to tell you that there is much more to polyamory that the traditional media representation.
