Flext Me Baby

As a student and a member of Gen Y I am pressed for time. Phone calls are shorter and texts are longer which puts a strain on my so called love life. Luckily for me I am a member of Gen Y and I'm able to utilize every bit of technology there is, which I do.

For the past few weeks I've been heavily engaged in a new phenomenon called "flexting" - flirt texting. It's pretty basic and self explanatory and of course it's something we've all done for a while but this is the first time I've actually acknowledge it as a thing.

These past few months, flexting has been more present in my life because I have been so busy. For a while there I thought I was sacrificing my non-existent love life for my professorial life but now I can have them both.

Love Without Words

When you love someone, there comes a time when you don't need to speak to say I love you. And I imagine that when you find your TRUE love, saying "I love you," will come in the simplest forms.

I personally believe the ultimate test of love is found in a struggle; not a struggle between the lovers but a struggle within. There are sometimes internal battles must be fought and if he or she will stand by you through it all that's the greatest "I Love You" there is.

Last night on "So You Think You Can Dance", choreographer Tyce DiOrio created a piece that said just that.

Falling In Love With Love

Disney Films are all about the happy ending. For several of the fairytales the happy endings come with falling in love.

However, love is not like a fairytale. It comes with hard work and sleepless nights, it comes with heartache and headache but, in the beginning isn't it just fun?


Going out, waiting for that person to call or talking all night long and not worrying about getting up the next day is fun. It's the time you fall in love and love the idea of being in love.

So why not enjoy it while it last and even when things get tough, remember how it felt falling in love with love.

We Need to Talk Young Girls

I love my generation but sometimes I don't get us. Why are we the ones who "fall in love" in high school and think it will last forever?

I was watching the Wendy Williams Show and a 18/19-year-old asked Wendy what should she do about her boyfriend of 3.5 years who broke up with her because he knows they'll get married and he wants to have his fun now.

What the hell was she talking about? "Was she serious,: I asked myself and then I remembered that I've heard that story many times before, from my own friends. And all the times I've heard it I've had to pretend as if I believed the crap that was coming out of their mouths. What I really wanted to say was, "You're not going to be together next week, let alone in 10 or 15 years."

Young girls, myself included (occasionally), think realistically and GET IT TOGETHER!

Looking in the Wrong Place

Church is not the place to find "the one," unless you mean God. On Sundays when the pews crowd of single people its not because they want to be closer with the Lord and are looking for a savior.

Black films poke fun at the idea but in reality it's the truth. The funny thing about looking for love at church is that the female:male ratio is off...by a lot.

Guys might not have trouble looking but girls on the other hand may find themselves under numbered. I can almost hear the echo in the air, "If church has become the place to find love, Lord please let the pews fill with men."
