From Our Readers: You Will Break My Heart

One day, probably in the not so distant future, you will break my heart.

I knew from the start what I was getting myself into. You were clear and you were fair, and for that I am grateful. But I couldn't, for the life of me, resist. And so with shoulders squared and expectations managed, I went straight ahead into the vast gray area of you and me. I continued to shower you with affection and make myself vulnerable to you. I gave you hugs and felt my knees go weak every time you squeezed me hard. I basked in your attention and my heart fluttered each time you openly expressed claim over me. I held out my hand for you to hold and smiled when you don't let go. I marveled at how easy the conversation flows when we're together, like how we can go from nonsense banter to serious life plans and personal issues. I like how you spontaneously put your arm around me when I'm close, how it's become a habit, unconscious and understood, never needing permission or explanation.

From Our Readers: To Anyone Who's Been Left Alone

We all know it sucks to be the one loving too much yet ending up being the one hurt. You've got to give your all yet it isn't enough enough for the other person to stay.

What Really Happens When You Watch Your Ex Love Again on Social Media

Although the existence of social media made a lot of things easier (like connecting with your family and friends miles away or keeping yourself updated on what's going on around you), it has also made a few things harder for all of us. For example, moving on from your past love or a relationship that didn't work out. We can unfriend or block our exes, but you can still see a little chunk of their lives when your common friends post updates and they're there. The truth is, moving on and letting go is twice as hard now that everyone is connected in some way.

From Our Readers: You'll Always Be My Favorite What If

I remember the time our eyes met. I knew it wasn't the first because we've sometimes crossed paths in the hallway of our school. But that night seemed to be different. Maybe it's because I finally see you up close. It was a friend's birthday and we were both invited. I don't know if you noticed how I'd always sneak a glance at you. Your eyes, your smile, and even the way you treated others caught my attention and I instantly saw my ideal guy in you. You brought to life that character in movies and books I always dreamed to have. But that night passed and we didn't even dare talk to each other, only secret glimpses and exchanged smiles that made me want to know you more.
