The Gift of Firsts – Ruth Anne
"I’m 26 and literally still have all of my firsts. It’s really easy for me to get caught up in that, feeling like I’m so far behind everyone else around me. But after having multiple conversations with friends, I began to realize that having all my firsts is not a bad thing, but a gift."

The Third Wheel Chair – Anna
"Sometimes I had to pray away jealousy when he took her out for Valentine's Day dinner or when I heard about the sweet things he did for her...But watching him pursue her and win her heart set the standard even higher for the guy I'll one day marry (sorry, man).
