She was the girl for me. I knew it the second she came into the car wash where I was working, the second our eyes locked in front of the M&M machine after I asked her, “Care for a quarter?”

I met Chloe in Atlanta my senior year of high school and immediately fell in love. We dated for about 5 months before I left for an out of state college in the fall. Living in South Carolina was incredibly difficult and I spent every possible minute talking to her on the phone, online, or [...]

“Breaking up is hard to do”; but sometimes it is an absolute necessity. Especially if the relationship carries all the caustic characteristics of a tabloid horror story. naturally, it also emcompassed all of the aspects most intelligent people try to avoid in a relationship: long distance, a bucket full of jealousy, and a heaping helping [...]
