Cuffing season is coming to a close and a lot of us haven’t even been drafted. We’re not even on the practice team! Recently I sat reflecting why are so many amazing millennials single? I’ve met some of these amazing people some are single by choice and others are rather interesting. I’m in no way…

Situationships: You’re Single Until You’re Not
“Oh we together but we’re not together together.” “It’s complicated.” Is it though? Is it really that complicated? Sis, you deserve better and if you’re still tip toeing through the dreaded situationship, you’re single until you and the other person exchange some kind of labels.

Existential Crisis: Falling Out of Love is Crucial
“No, we can’t be friends because you were a terrible boyfriend. What would make me think you would be an awesome friend?” – Me (2016) People can be friends with their exes if said person deserves it. The older I get the more I realize that not everyone deserves my friendship because frankly, I’m a…

& How I Met Your Mother
My first serious relationship went on and off for a few years shy of a decade. We were the definition of “It’s complicated” before it was a relationship title.
