Anonymous asked: Can you ever be friends with an ex? I've tried. Several times. Each time it ends badly and I think whyBut there's always something that makes me think about her again.

Anonymous asked: MM, I find it difficult to craft one tidy question on something as complicated as relationships. So many puzzle pieces. But we are all really asking the same thing: How do we love ourselves and let love in? We all try too hard. What's heaviest on my head is compromise. What is worth compromising in a relationship? I've had a busy six months feeling romantic interests out and all seem to...

Anonymous asked: I've been seeing this guy for a few months. Things progressed quickly, but recently when I asked him where we were going, he seemed taken aback. We talked later, and he said he didn't know what he wanted but still wanted to see me and only me. Things are still amazing when we're together. I can tell he cares a lot, and there's a deep connection. However, now I see him less...
Anonymous asked: A year and a half ago my boyfriend of four and a half years ended our relationship. He has spent the last year and half sporadically trying to rekindle the relationship. I have told him several times that I do not want that, but he keeps messaging me, even if I don't respond. I don't know what to do anymore and I don't know what to say to him.

Anonymous asked: As you lay awake looking at your ceiling, what do you want to do at this exact moment? Example I want to go swimming underneath a clear starry sky. The combo of water and stars makes me feel small and insignificant compared to all that space. It also calms my mind and heart. Too much worry in my head.
