This is me, on one of the happiest days of my life. Actually, my happiest day in about three years. I was with one of my favorite humans, about an hour north of Steamboat Springs, CO standing on a mountain just before sunset. He took this picture. In this moment, that he caught so authentically, I was barely wearing any makeup, and I felt like the most beautiful, wonderful, amazing creature on the planet. I felt real. I felt seen.See this friend, he's not just any friend. He's the friend that after my divorce a year ago, I heard a song and thought of him. He's the friend that after I sent him that song, wrote back and became my friend again, even though we hadn't spoken in years. He's the friend that speaks my language of crazy and travel and joy, the exact same way. As he says, "Our souls mirror each other." So this moment, it was a big moment. Big feels. Real feels. And I was high. Cuz, you know—Colorado.
Heather ClarkePublished 7 years ago in HumansWhen I Loved an Expectation
A few years ago during a visit to my grandmother's house, in another state, I met a guy who I thought would be my soul mate, I would not say love at first sight but there was something about him that got me. He looked so handsome wearing those dreadlocks. They made him look more interesting, free, a rebel compared to the other guys around. Although he did not live in the village, I was told he was a constant presence there because his father owned a farm somewhere nearby. After exchanging a brief glance we would only see each other again four months later. When I went back to visit my grandmother a party took place in the village on that exact day I arrived. The village named after joy itself, Alegre, was an incredible place, far from the city and full of beautiful things. As soon as we saw each other my heart beat so fast that I could barely breathe, but I greeted him anyway. We spent that night talking, finding out we had a lot in common. Is it strange if I say that I remember each word said during our conversation? I simply loved everything about him, his twisted smiles, his shyness, his sense of humor. I still consider our first kiss the best of my life, after that, none had the same magic. The way things happened just made me fall in love in such a spontaneous way that I only noticed how much I liked all that fuss when I got back to my hometown and could not find any blank spaces in my journal anymore to write how much I thought about him.

"I'm leaving you for him." It's a phrase that is terrifying for any spouse to hear, and though it's rare, it does happen. In around one of every 20 couples affected by infidelity, a cheater will leave their longtime partner for the other lover.

Ginny BerkPublished 7 years ago in HumansReflections on a Toxic Relationship
Normally it's always the same feeling after putting so much work into something that ends badly. In this case we are talking about a relationship. Two individuals who consciously make the decision to fall in together. It is in this race for a higher state of feeling that we might sometimes miss the signs given off by our potential partners.

Butterflies: Check. Mutual attraction: Check. It's easy to fall for him when you first discover the spark between the two of you, but before you get in over your head, ask yourself if he does these things.

George GottPublished 7 years ago in HumansEmbrace Your Singleness
My love life is a total joke, and I’m not mad about it. The reality is that I’ve never been the kind of women that WANTS to be in a relationship. When most of my friends were talking about their crush, I was either drinking or reading about fashion. No, I’m not an alcoholic, what I’m trying to say is that my passion for fashion, my family, and my social life have always been more important than guys (actually, any aspect of my life has been more relevant than love relationships).
