BRAT summer is about prioritizing yourself.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet . It’s not everyday you get married , so it should be remembered as a sacred and special event, a day that you signed your love away and the whole world watched.

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. When a woman is going to be in labor, it’s a very emotional, vulnerable, and intimate position she’s in. Doctors are running around you, nurses are injecting you with foreign objects, and it’s important to have your safety net of people there to comfort you while you’re in such an uncomfortable situation.

This brings us to the Reddit piece. It’s abou…

The honeymeme phase

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. You could be married for a decade, and still find out things in your partner you never knew could exist. Some people are good at masking their darkness, hiding in their own shadows, and keeping secrets from those around them. Once you’ve been married for awhile, your guard is down, and your trust is high, making it almost easier to lie candidly. Just because it’s easy to lie, doesn’t excuse the behavior. Hiding things from your partner is a new…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When we hear the word ‘friendship,’ what comes to mind? People, memories of hanging out with girlfriends, laughing over pizza about our families, exes, and everything in between, crying to each other, seeking advice about guys, dates, parents, and work. Usually, a friend is someone you can rely on, who cheers you up, who you have a connection with and can trust, but it isn’t always the case. This Reddit thread is about that type of ‘friend.’ So…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. If there’s one thing everyone should be able to rely on, it’s their parents. Parents should be there for their children through thick and thin; balancing compassion and empathy, with life lessons to instill.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Marriages can be long and arduous, a journey of tenacity, patience, and respect. When one person feels disrespected, it’s easy to be offended, but maybe not to the point where you back out of the marriage.
