A. When a guy is passionate about Music in some form like: #1 Poetry- I find it more literary but its the rhythmic appeal that I like. In HS, I used to love reading the raps and poems I wrote to my love interests. #2...

I like you. There, I said it. I wrote it down: I like you. I know, that’s weird. But it’s true. Maybe I’m just a hormonal teenage girl who’s crushing on a boy. But when I think of you, my heart stops. And then it skips,...

I feel the need to post this after reading about another recent cheating post: I do not believe in the saying “Once a cheater, always a cheater”. I find that mentality very immature. People are not robots with on and off...
