Awkward Human
For most of my life, I have always felt as if I never quite fully fit in. I was always one of the most awkward human beings to exist. At least from my perspective.

This is Why I Don't Drink
My heart was beating out of my chest as I stared at myself in the mirror. I don't know how I let my friends talk me into this. I suppose it is my fault since I confessed I had never been on an actual date before. Normally I wouldn't offer up that type of information, but this ground-breaking confession happened during a drunken game of 'Never Have I Ever'. I should also point out that was the first time I had ever drank alcohol. You may think this news is not that alarming, but I should probably tell you that I am 25 years old. Pathetic right? I know.

I Messed Up When My Daughter Told Me She Was a Boy
My child, Z, was eight when they first told me they wanted to be a boy. That word wanted really threw me. I thought it was like they were telling me they wanted to be an astronaut when they grew up. Or a teacher. Or a kickass rockstar.

I Will...I Do...I Did
Wedding day. The day most women dream about. Often times, the ring, the proposal, the Maid of Honor, Bridesmaids, color palette, & venue decorations are already picked & planned before the bride to be even know who the groom is. I was no different than most women. I remember claiming, “I’m getting married.” Some would offer congratulations while others would ask “to who?” I guess the plot twist was the fact that I had no earthly idea because I was single when I was saying it; single without any prospects in sight.

Stolen Opportunities
Like me, there is an unknown number of people out there who had opportunities stolen from us. If you were coming to read this to hear about something funny or happy, then you have come to the wrong article.

Ayo, Joy
Lets start from the very beginning or at least when I can remember. A little introduction would also be nice. Hi! my name is Ayo.And I'm just a regular girl (or so I thought). I go to college where I study Economics. Before you make up any assuption about me just know that I don't like Economics. Nope not one bit. So why are you studying it? you might ask. Lets just say I wanted to understand the art of money making and Business sounded too serious for me. Ok, that should do for now, back to the beginning. It was supposed to be a one time thing but I kept going back. I tried to stop but I could not so I went back. How could I stop? My validation was deeply rooted in our relationship and if we didn't talk in a day, it felt like I was going to lose it. Everything was totally nice between us. Everyday was Febuary the 14th for me even without the flowers.

James Bond, Anyone?
I never thought I might have had an exciting relationship life as far as men are concerned, but looking back now, somewhere half way through my life, I actually realize it was quite fun. So, why not have some fun and reveal the most interesting ones? And why not make it even more exciting and see how they compare to my all-time hero, James Bond. So, here goes.

When The Fish Can't Find The River
I have never held a gun. I didn't grow up in gun culture. I didn't live in a place where kids played sanctioned hooky on the first day of hunting season. No one I knew had a gun safe in their house, a rack on their car.

From Popularity to Last Single Standing
I was born popular. I came out of the womb with not just any posse of girls, we were intelligent, attractive, and loyal…what’s better than that?

Tonight
Tonight as I laid my head down on my pillow I started to think about you. I missed you more than I have in a really long time. I needed you more than ever before. I wanted to fight the thoughts away, but I knew it must be a sign that you wanted to tell me something. So I closed my eyes and thought of you more. I laid there for an hour and all I kept hearing you say was “never give up. Keep pushing Audrey you’re stronger than this. Don’t give up now but don’t over do. Either. Take your time. You know tomorrow isn’t promised and things can change in an instant and your rushing through your life too fast. Breathe, you’re trying too hard, you’re wanting to get pleases in life but you’re not finishing the first step!”

Tough love
Most of my life I thought that life just wanted to knock me down every day. It always felt like something new and worse was happening, it felt like I couldn’t stand back up for ten minutes before there was a new battle for me to fight. I fought back each time a little harder, sometimes I wanted to let life knock me down, and keep me down because I didn’t think I was strong enough to fight back. Little did I know, I was strong enough to fight ten times harder than I was, I was able to fight harder and beat every battle before it even hit.
