When you find out you’re with someone like this, it’s hard to imagine what to do or think. RELATED: 10 Lies Men Will Tell You To Get What They Want What is franchising?

He may tell you that he doesn’t want to be in a relationship, but then he still wants to spend time with you. He may tell you, and sometimes seem to show you, that he really likes you, even if he doesn’t like you ‘like that." His actions leave you absolutely dumbfounded as to how he is feeling. And he probably makes you feel like you’re a yo-yo — you’re being constantly pushed away and pulled back in....
This is a sentence I began hearing at the young age of seven years old, when I first answered the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up with the word “writer.” As a second grader I never understood why my teachers and adult relatives would tell me this, and to this day, at the age of 23, I still don’t. It may not be realistic but I’m not interested in other people’s view of realism....

Have you ever considered that maybe you lead yourself on more than anyone else? It’s not always the other person behind all of your heartbreak. Some of it, maybe, but certainly not all.

After a leaked W Magazine cover story claimed that the pair, who are expecting their second child, have not been in a relationship for two years, many are debating how the Kardashian-Jenner sisters approach motherhood. The cover story, which was pulled after ten people died at Scott’s Astroworld festival on November 5, features a pregnant Jenner, Scott and their daughter Stormi posing as a picture perfect family.

You are in the kitchen trying to prepare dinner while you are talking on the phon. A notification appears, and you check your texts. Meanwhile, your teenage son is watching television while doing math homework and scrolling his Instagram. We are all hijacked by our devices, tricked into thinking that we can do all of these tasks simultaneously and well — and this is called “media multitasking”. The problem is, this is not true, especially for those of us with ADHD....

Ukraine is in the middle of the longest tug-of-war battle between the United States and what remains of the Soviet Union’s sphere of influence that has been going on for decades, nearing a century....

At 16, I met a boy who went out of his way to send me corny jokes because he knew they were my favorite. He made me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world, as cliché as it sounds. He asked me to prom and I felt like Cinderella when we danced the night away. I thought I had found him, the soulmate everyone talks about. The one that seems like the universe had too much to do with for our meeting to be just a coincidence....
With our Moon in Leo, we can automatically assume that whatever it is that influences our day, today, it will come with ego and possibly a little bullying. Because we also have Luna arguing with Uranus, we’ll be battling our need to break free and create hysteria, while being made to feel trapped and futile, due to Moon confronting Saturn’s effect on us. Alas, Saturn in Aquarius, and Mars in Capricorn push buttons everywhere on February 15, 2022....
For the past few days, we’d been rehashing the same stupid argument. We were in the middle of a big move to New York and I was still mildly irritated that he insisted on moving ahead of me to get things settled with his job, leaving me and a million half-packed boxes behind. Reception wasn’t too clear between us, so a phone call wasn’t viable. It was just the two of us trading texts (my panicky, long-winded rants and his brief, passive-aggressive “Ks”)....
