What is it that can truly destroy a person? Maybe it's the emotional abandonment that comes from the lack of a caring mother. Or maybe perhaps, it's the life of a soldier’s daughter. The ones who are the strongest are the only ones who can make it through something so trying and exhausting.

On January 11, 2014, I started a relationship with a guy named Luis. At the beginning of the relationship, everything was looking good. Luis was the type of guy that liked to show his affection and that he cared a lot about the relationship. He has a kind heart, but our characters did not get along.

Will’s previous relationship did not end well because of his physical and emotional injuries. In the beginning of the book readers will not be very fund of Will. Will was very rude and arrogant. He was full of self-pity after…

This image, from the chapter “Forgiveness,” which features the song “Sandcastles,” represents the…

“What’s wrong?” “I’m Afraid.” “What are you afraid of?” “Everything…” If we were all really honest with ourselves, and we peer into the depths of our being looked at our deepest part we would find a similarity within each soul. Hiding beneath the desire to be loved, wanted, and needed we would find the fraction of us we seem to hate the most. This small piece shows itself in countless ways. It hinders us from success and fulfilling God’s greatest purpose for our lives, and we often times…

Sometimes holding onto our fantasies and desires of how something could have been, ends up poisoning the reality of what it truly is. In the article, “The Myth of Co-Parenting: How It Was Supposed to Be.
