Dear Single Girl, You’re Not Alone—Even When Your Best Friend Gets Engaged
Dear Future Husband, I Know We Won’t Be Perfect
Dear Future Husband, I’m writing this letter to you because I want you to know that I have high expectations for you.

To the Girl Who’s Living with Her Boyfriend
If I could only tell you one thing, it wouldn’t be “I hope this relationship works out for you” or “I’m sure he’s a great guy, so living with him is okay” or “God hates you for doing this.” Nope. None of those things are true. Instead, I would tell you this: “You can leave your boyfriend at any time. In fact, please do. Absolutely nothing obligates you to stay with him.”
4th of July Interview

I haven’t pursued empty things because people failed to warn me about the consequences. No, ignorance wasn’t the issue. My stubbornness was. But warnings are warnings for a reason. This post is my warning to you.
Dear Single Girl, I Have More to Tell You
I know that I recently wrote you a letter about accepting your single status but admitting that singleness is hard. But there’s something else that’s just as important that I need to share with you. I truly believe that you are single. For. A. Reason. So, Single Girl, please find purpose in whatever you do while you wait to date and get married.
The 3 Greatest Fears of Adulthood
Some soon-to-be-college-grads that I know already have plans for the future. They already have a job lined up, or they’ve already met Mr. Right, or they’ve already chosen to further their education. But I don’t have anything set for my life after April. And that scares me.
Shut Up, Hallmark: Reconstructing Our Top 5 Expectations About Romance
Even though I haven’t seen that many Hallmark movies, I’ve seen enough to know what the end is going to be: happily ever after.
