By M. J. Ross “You only lose what you cling to.” ~Buddha I remember one of my first mindfulness classes that pertained to impermanence. I went home in a bit of a slump. Nothing is permanent; everything ends; “This too, shall pass.” It was quite a shock to the system. After getting over what, on surface…

By James Gummer “Most of our troubles are due to our passionate desire for and attachment to things that we misapprehend as enduring entities.” ~Dalai Lama Some breakups are so bad that they make you hate the sunshine. It’s up there gleaming, looking down on you, being all sunny despite the fact that you feel like…

By Alana Mbanza “No feeling is final.” ~Rainer Maria Rilke I met him the last semester of college and was instantly attracted to him.  I was definitely attracted to him physically, but it was the way he sat in class with such quiet confidence and mystery that made me long to know him. I practically drooled…

By Monica Viera “One reason people resist change is because they focus on what they have to give up instead of what they have to gain.” ~Rick Godwin Dave and I met earlier this January. I was immediately attracted to his aquamarine eyes and his tattoos. I met him on the eve of my twenty-sixth birthday…

By Nicole Hind “You must learn to love yourself before you can love someone else.” ~Sonja Mylin   It’s tough being out there. I remember myself some years ago embracing the world of online dating. Everyone kept telling me “be yourself” (and I kept telling myself that), but when I was actually on a date, “myself” would…

By Stephanie Deni Let’s face it, we can’t always have what we want.  There will be times in your life when the person you desire simply does not desire you back.  When what you’re seeking is not seeking you and it can be really devastating and at times, quite difficult to get through and get…

By Anonymous “Never fear shadows. They simply mean there’s a light shining somewhere nearby.” ~Ruth E. Renkel My last breakup was on April 16th, 2012. I remember the date because on the evening of April 17th, as I sat with a blotchy red face and tears in my eyes, my dad told me I soon would…

By Jonathan Robinson I used to think that if I told my wife exactly what’s wrong with her, her response would be, “Yes, I see it now! Thank you for showing me the errors of my ways.” To my surprise, that never happened. Finally, I saw that I was going about things the wrong way. Complaining, blaming, and…

By Vishnu “Some of us think that holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.” ~Hermann Hesse She knew it sooner than I did. And more intensely than I did. I, on the other hand, may have considered our differences but never thought of them as deal-breakers. I tried to justify the many…

By Christine Rodriguez “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt For some of us, like me, the question, “What is my purpose?” creates a ton of anxiety and a feeling that our self-worth is being undermined. It’s hard…

By Hannah Brooks “We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.” ~Sam Keen When we fall in love, we feel excited to experience some of the most joyful moments of our lives. Because love is supposed to be the source of the best feelings, right?…

By Audrey Meyer “You must love in such a way that the other person feels free.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh Conventional notions of what it means to love are populated with expectations for reciprocity, which often gets us into trouble. I know this personally, because whenever I have “freely” given my love and it has not been…

By Vironika Tugaleva I’ve done a lot of things for attention that I’m not proud of. I’ve created drama. I’ve bragged. I’ve exaggerated. I’ve hurt people. I’ve hurt myself. I’ve lied and lied and lied. No one wants to be labeled as an “attention seeker.” When people say, “She’s just doing it for attention,” they don’t mean it…

By Nadene van der Linden “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” ~Jon Kabat- Zinn Over the years I’ve talked to a lot of people about that one love, the one who got away, the one who it didn’t work out with, the one with whom the timing was bad. I’ve had…

By Vishnu “For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.” ~Cynthia Occelli There are no two ways about it. Heartbreak squeezes you as though you were an orange, crushes…

By Psychic Amber:   Here is a situation you might have gone through: You are in a happy long-term relationship and suddenly there is this very strange sense of distance between you both. Your partner seems stand offish and when you ask him whats bothering him, he just says everything is fine. OR maybe this…

By Mandi Vaughan “Love takes off the mask that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”  ~James Arthur Baldwin I sat silent on one end of the phone. I could hear my own breath and heart pounding in my ears.  I was sitting on the precipice of greatness, and all I…

By Eric Ibey “The broken hearted are the bravest among us—they dare to love.” ~Brené Brown, Rising Strong Are you finished grieving your breakup and want to get over your ex once and for all?
