I used to think I had to be perfect to find the right guy or fit in with the right people. That’s all BS. My new motto is “screw perfect.” I’m happier with all my flaws and I wouldn’t trade them for anything — I’m happier just being me. I’m never going to be perfect. I…
We all have our own ideas of what love is, but it’s never really as simple as it’s made out to be. Supposedly, you fall in love and everything magically works out. Okay, so maybe it does in one of those Hallmark romance movies at Christmas, but for the rest of us, it’s a little…
