Expectation is the root of all heartache Simply because, the very definition of heartache is when reality fails to live up to one’s expectations.

Some of us anticipate more attention or communication from a relationship, unequivocally something that our partner may not be aware of, or feel equally necessary. Putting a…
Girls can be complicated creatures: we play it cool and keep our guards up. It can be difficult to know if we are really into you or not, especially when dating. So guys… this one is for you.

As I sit on the long journey back to London from Aberystwyth, where I have just spent a gorgeous week’s holiday relaxing, eating and seeing my boyfriend, I can’t help but feel quite sad about saying ‘goodbye for now’ again. Being in a long distance relationship, saying goodbye for a period of (sometimes unknown) time, kind of comes with the…
So you’ve been seeing someone for a few weeks, you’ve been on a few dates, been round their house; you may have even slept together. Then all of a sudden – radio silence.

It’s fair, in my opinion, to divide people into one of two categories:…
“Since I was fifteen, I’ve either been with a guy or breaking up with a guy. I haven’t given myself two weeks of a breather to just deal with myself!” – Liz Gilbert, Eat Pray Love This quote is me, I genuinely couldn’t have worded it better myself. It would seem that every time I say I am going to…
When I was fifteen, I thought I knew everything. Obviously, I was wrong. I don’t regret anything, as I am who I am today because of my choices.
