“You love too much.” “You love too hard.” “You care more than you should.” “You’re too much for people to handle.” “You’re going to get hurt if you keep allowing yourself to care this much.” I’ve heard it all. At some point in my life, I’ve heard it from everyone. When I was a kid, …
Let’s face it, Halloween this year is going to be different. In a lot of areas, kids won’t be trick or treating. We won’t be going door to door to get candy or having large Halloween parties. This year is different. We all know it. We’ve felt it for months now, and based on conversations …

This is something I’ve heard over and over again. The older I get the more I hear it. Friends, family even people I hardly know will make comments about how I’m single. How at 38 years old I still don’t have children and I will never be happy until I have someone to share my …
