Relationships

"I had a flat face with a scar wrapping from cheek to cheek and was now known as the ‘girl that had her lip bitten off.’"

"After all, there’s something wonderful about first dates, initial kisses, eager touches, and the anticipation of unknown emotions. There are so many people who will trade the 'boring' regularity and routine of a long-term relationship because they miss the newness of a budding romance."

"Is your husband really, truly your best friend? Really? Because mine isn’t."

"Listen up young ones...this is what love looks like when you're old."

"Suddenly I felt my phone vibrate within my pocket, unexpectedly I realized, for not many people contacted me at such an early hour. I pulled out the cell and was surprised to see a message from my spouse. He must not have gone back to sleep after I left..."

"I like to remind myself that if we are fighting, we are at least still caring about the marriage... So how do we communicate kinder, even when we feel upset?"

"You are going to fail your family, so try not to beat yourself up so much."

"The fact was I would never feel good enough all the time, fully loved half the time, or totally appreciated and understood even some of the time."
