Not Everyone's Love Story

By: Keelie Anderson

1

People always say dating is difficult and a rollercoaster of emotions. I at times did not believe them. Of course, when you are in the situation, you are blind of all the negative. I have experienced a fair share of love, heartbreak, and pain. I, as most girls would, fell into everything, every compliment covered up the insults, and I was always the one covering up what should not be dealt with. Most girls, as myself, stay in the whirling wind of emotions and it turns into a tornado that destroys not only the relationship, but you as a person. After things are ended, you again go through a whole new set of emotions. You are sad, you miss them, every little thing reminds you of them, you have your first holidays with family and get asked a thousand questions, trust me I know, but I've also learned throughout time apart, family will always be the most important thing. Spending time with your family, I don't just mean the times you always have to be with them everyday, but the times where you make time and you make it a priority to make special arrangements. After everything fades, your family will still be there to support you, and you will realize that you don't need anyone.

After some time has passed, you literally won't think of meeting anyone, much less having a new relationship. You are perfectly happy by yourself. That's when everything changes. When you find what makes you happy and you are living your life for you and nobody else, is when God will allow everything else to happen how it is suppose to. You meet a guy that you would have never been able to if it weren't for the heartbreak you had to go through. He is a great, sweet, gentle, loving, caring guy. You can tell in his actions and demeanor how much he loves and cares for you 100% of the time. It's different this time. Time goes by and you see each other every other week and the more and more time that passes, the harder the goodbyes are and the more time you want to spend with him. You want to show you your world and everyone in it and him be a part of it. That's where I am at now. I am enjoying every second of him and everything we are a part of together. It will go on, but like I said its "Not Everyone's Love Story", and you have to find your own for it to work out.

XOXO,

Keelie Anderson

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
