Take away a person’s creativity and you fracture a part of their soul. This is my opinion based on my own experience with toxic relationships and from what I have seen from relationships around me. If you have ever been in a toxic relationship, do you notice that the first the aggressor in the relationship tries to ...

Trusting myself

Last weekend I went dress shopping with my friends and ended up buying a dress at the spot.
