Day 66: Humans

“It’s worth making time to find the things that really stir your soul. That’s what makes you really feel alive. You have to say ‘no’ to other things you’re used to, and do it with all your heart.” – Roy T. Bennett Let me tell the tale Of a girl who didn’t stop Who climbed up every…

Day 50: Fool’s Gold

When Travis Linton, 26, told me he was in a relationship, I couldn’t believe it. Not because he’s a horrible person of any kind, but because when you’re good friends with someone and have learned their traits, few things tend to surprise you. Until this. His new love venture impacted me much more than I…

Day 39/Day 40: The Great Love Debate

The Conference Call. I tried something a little different this time around. Because I’ve had such detailed one-on-one conversations with both men and women from various age groups on the topic of love, I was curious to see what it would be like to conduct a group interview. I wanted to see in real time…

Day 38: Happily Single

Singing to myself: “This time next year I’ll be livin’ so good, Won’t remember your name, I swear. Livin’ so good, livin’ so good, livin’ so good. This time next year I’ll be livin’ so good, Won’t remember no pain, I swear…” SZA wrote Ctrl about me. I’m convinced. I say that only half jokingly because…

Day 34: Don’t Look Back

“It takes huge effort to free yourself from memory.” – Paulo Coelho The past is an awful place to get stuck in. It’s even more toxic when you’re stuck there with someone you love. It’s like you both want to move forward and you’d like to do it collectively, however, the only memories that seem…

Day 33: We Come First

I sat with a good friend of mine, Justin Brantley, a little while ago and we talked about love. We also talked about his truth – the fact that at 23 years old, he’s never actually been in love. In fact, because of this he admitted to being hesitant about participating in this project. He…
