Well, let's just say that I've lived and learned pertaining to relationships!

I'm an extremely emotional person when it comes to the opposite sex, and I have had to learn several ways to battle that personality flaw. Yes, I've let numerous guys walk all over me, and like a lot of women have let them because of the "needy" attitude.

I've learned since then that it pulls a lot of pride out of you to allow a man to do that. After the realtionship finally ends, I felt emotionally drained and tired. So, one day I decieded for myself and my self dignity to never allow myself to be put in that situation again.

I am now in a wonderful realtionship with a man who cares so much for me and vice versa!

I am a print journalism major at the University of South Carolina. This year will be my senior year! (Thank god!) I love writing and I feel as though I can really help people out there who have that "emotional" vulnerability like I had.

Perhaps maybe this oppurtunity to write to other people about their problems might benefit me even further! The fact of the matter is that I want to be here for other people. I feel as though I owe it to them and myself !

Don't Hold on to Fantasies

My philosophy is "take realtionships for what they are." What I mean by this is, don't hold on just because of some fantasy or dream in your head, be grounded and know the realities in which the realtionship lies. Prince Charming is certaintly no where to be found yet! (and if he is.. I want his phone number!) Also, take relationships SLOW. Too much romance too fast will lead to a FAST breakup!

I feel as though I would add perhaps a different dimension to advice. Maybe pulling some examples from my past experiences to comfort that person. The advicee really needs to know that they are not the only ones that have been through it!!!
