Please welcome Duncan Swallow to #BeREALationships. I’d gone to a party on my ownsome, and R arrived with someone else. About an hour later she was sitting on my lap exploring my tonsils.

Please welcome Christin Nicole Crider to #BeREALationships. Let me preface this by saying this is part of my life has never really been talked about. I put it on a shelf many years ago. I let it sit there, collecting dust over the last 18 years. But for some reason today, I feel the need…
I used to think that all my problems stemmed from my childhood. I blamed bullies, bitches, and boys for my mood swings. They were such inconsiderate jerks. I used to think all of the men I dated were emotionally stunted. Why else would they be ignorant enough to hurt my feelings, take me for…
I am so pleased to have Lizzi Lewis here to help me kick off my new #BeReal series. Relationships are hard but so far my relationship with Lizzi has been the easiest and most rewarding friendship I have ever had. She is my sunrise and I am her sunset. My life is better with her…
Many years ago I bought my 7 year old daughter an Oragami kit. After dinner one night she decided to open it. She made me a cup and a paper airplane. I remember thinking to myself how fun it looked and asked her to hand me the Oragami book so I could find something amazing to make.…
