'But for now, I realize I am 100% content with being alone, mostly likely because I’ve spent most of my life not alone: I’ve been in back-to-back relationships since I was 13, with only a few weeks or months in between. It’s kind of scary, really. It’s like I started dating and just never stopped, and it only recently occurred to me how insane this was this past New Year’s when I found myself at the club, at midnight, in the middle of a horde of kissing couples, totally and completely single on New Year’s Eve for the first time in ten years. Scary and exhilarating, like I had I had grown a new set of limbs.
what being single by choice has made me realize is that being in a relationship shouldn’t be something you need; it should be something you want. It should come from the desire to share an experience rather than the desire to be completed. You have to feel secure in yourself before you bond with someone else or it won’t work. So, because I still have a lot of work to do on myself before I’m ready to share, I will spare you interested ladies the heartbreak (heh) and remain cheerfully single until then.'
Hello everyone! I'm Hollie Hines, and sometimes I get a bit hinesy about life. Here is my little place to document it!

Pick up the phone!
Goddamit!
I know some people who prefer to call than text. I know some who are too afraid to call and would rather text.
I've got to be honest, my harsh nature would call them pussys.
No wonder people end up feeling less special and appreciated when we can't even be bothered to pick up the phone and speak, just because 'texting is easier'.
We have even worked ourselves into the habit of email. Though, I think the lesson speaks for itself when face to face communication, meetings and phonecalls end up getting more work done than using the latter. Enthusiasm comes across so much clearer through tone of voice instead of endless !!! :) ;) :( or grrrrr arrrrghhhh urhhhhhh's.
Lets not shoot ourselves in the foot. There was a time where wrds wdn't luk lik dis.

Ouch
'Elizabeth Wurtzel, a writer from our generation, used a metaphor that she borrowed from Hemingway. Being insane, she said, was like Hemingway’s description of going bankrupt. In Hemingway’s novel The Sun Also Rises, a man is asked how he lost all his money. “…Two ways,” the man replies, “Gradually, and then suddenly.” That’s how it happened for me. I lost everything all at once, but it had taken years to get there.'
Kind'a cute
Don't lie, we all do it. It's like a third person.
I read this and thought of all the souls I'm missing out there. Read that as you wish.
'Talk to your Soul.
That’s right, just talk to It.
Start asking your Soul questions. You can simply say, “Hi, Soul. What’s your name?” And wait for your answer to come to you intuitively. It may not come to you immediately, but it will come to you, alright.
You can say, “Hey Soul, I need some assistance here. Can you please help me figure this out?” Your help will be on the way, I guarantee it.
You might also say, “I don’t know how to do this, Soul! Will you please do this for me?” Sometimes you can just put things right into your Soul’s capable hands. I do it all the time!
Your Soul is God. It’s a piece of God within you. When you connect with your Soul, there’s a heck of a lot of power that comes along with that.
Guess what else? Your Soul actually wants to connect with you. It wants to be known! It wants you to talk to it and ask it for help. It very much wants to be a part of your life.
And here’s the bonus (at least it was for me): Your Soul is not going to hold you to a strict meditation practice in order to be in a relationship with you. You can be a non-meditator and also be completely soulful.
Try this and see for yourself. It’s utterly mind-blowing, really. Once you get hooked, you’ll never turn back.

As for all those other health benefits you might miss out on by not meditating? Well, for that, I’m relying on green juice.'
