Packing up all of my belongings and moving out grew to be an incredibly difficult. Looking around my barren apartment, the flat feels quite vacant yet filled to the walls with a multitude of memories.

Outbreak of coupledom.
Sitting in a packed club by myself, I feel undeniably lonely. Tonight everyone seems to be in twos, for it is like the outbreak of the couples in here. As I sit at the busy bar I begin to watch the men and women writhing and gyrating on the dance floor. In any other occasion,…
End of an era.
It is coming down to be my last week in the apartment. Realizing that this will probably be one of the last times that I sit at my dinner table and look out onto the city, I begin to feel quite sad. This coming week I will be moving out of the big city, and…
The Waiting Game.
There is a game that everyone plays, and it is called the telephone game. After going out with someone for the first time, you face the challenge of waiting for them to message or call you. However you do have the option of making the first move and contacting them, but you begin to weigh…
Left to live for.
With my back against the bathroom door, I am left wondering: Does love really find us, or do we have to put ourselves out there in search of it? As I sit in my state of disorder, I atempt to find a small bit of happiness somewhere in all this madness. With the deep auburn colour…
Consulting the stars.
Are people brought into our lives for a reason, or is everything purely a fluke? When you are walking down the street, you bump into a person that you haven’t seen in a while. Coincidence, or fate? Texting that same person only to seconds later run into them. Coincidence, or fate? Whatever your belief on…
C’est la vie.
Waking up this morning fearful of the day ahead, I attempted to dress more socially conservative for my appointment. Removing the septum ring out of my nose, and pulling a light grey fisherman jumper over my head, I headed out to my first appointment with the therapist who would be performing an analysis on my…
To go the distance, or to stay local.
Relationships are difficult enough to do, but when you add distance into the equation, a whole new web of problems seem to arise. Long distance relationships are an intriguing idea that I have been toying back and forth with for the past little while. With Hamlet on my mind, I am wondering if a lost…
Shoe Shopping.
Is romance dead? What happened to asking people out on a date, or actually getting to know someone. Now all we have to do to get to know someone is swipe right for yes, and swipe left for no. It seems as if our culture has taken a turn from the conventional relationships, and moving…
Helping you help me, and $5 pants.
Feeling depressed, I went out did what any self respecting man would do: I went shopping. Walking into various boutiques and stores with fashion on my mind, I had a wake up call after realizing I couldn’t afford anything that I wanted. It was not until I stepped into the retail heaven of the American…
Love & Nicotine.
12:49pm, I am sitting cross-legged on my couch with a glass of red in my hand. With my cat curled into a ball beside me and Sex & The City playing on the TV, I attempt to relax. I unlock my phone and begin to check Instagram and Facebook for my social media indulgence of…
Stumped by a four letter word.
What exactly is love? Is it an agonizing pain rooted deep within your chest, or immense butterflies accompanied with extreme admiration… Or both. Throughout my life, I have witnessed many successful relationships begin and a large amount of these relationships end. Within my love life, I may find myself experiencing an extreme admiration for that…
