How to Get People to Show Their True Colors
Facebook is my livelihood. No, that is not sarcasm or an exaggeration; the majority of my income comes from writing posts for small businesses. So, when people tell me that I should take a break from the social networks, I have to politely tell them to mind their own beeswax. Sometimes, though, I'll post something on Facebook just to get a rise out of people, just for the fun of it. The fastest way to find out someone's true colors is to post something that could vaguely be about them.

Obsession
He stares at her, watching. His eyes follow each movement, absorbing her desires, breathing in her sweet innocence. He wants it; he needs it; he needs her. He was naïve before, much too lax. He had allowed the sweetest perfection to slip through his fingers. She was able to slide past the walls that he was building around them. She disappeared from the beautiful sanctuary that he was creating for the two of them. But, neither the fear nor the guilt that he had orchestrated was enough to make her stay. His flawless obsession had escaped.

You Would Think I Learn the First Time
We’ve all been in love at some point or another. Real actually love from a person that is accepting of who you are, and the burdens that you may or may not have on yourself. These days now it is not easy to find someone that is truly accepting of you. It seems there is more of judging than taking in the person for who they are. Love… seems more fake now than ever. The word “Love” gets flung all over the place without meaning it. It can be used to manipulate, abuse emotional and mentally, and take advantage of others because they were naïve to think about what the person is doing to them. It is unfortunate to believe but it is true. If there was an answer as to why that is… I would like to know myself. I guess what lead me to say that is because I look at what I have been through, and what I have seen through my relationships and others. The most common thing I see happen is loving more than one person, it is very possible to do so, but does it work out to love two people at once? It’s possible, but who are they hurting in the end? Themselves that is wanting to be with two people or the ones that are head over heels for them and can’t bear to see them with someone else.
