Carnivals are a blast! Although, I get more excited about eating cotton candy and funnel cake than actually riding rides. I can’t be the only one who does this, right? This summer a carnival came through my hometown and even though the summer heat was brutal, I pushed through it to take in the sights, sounds, food, and rides. I loved going to carnivals when my brother and I were kids. My parents made sure it was something we got to do together as a family whenever it was in town. Going as an adult was almost as fun as it was back then. Also, consuming unhealthy amounts of cotton candy and funnel cake definitely made for an interesting sugar-induced nap and an awful tummy ache later… clearly, my stomach is nothing like it was when I was a little girl, but regardless, the carnival was still a good time. If and when the carnival comes to your area, you should go. Do something fun this weekend and enjoy yourself. TGIF!
Ghosting: the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. I’ve been ghosted by every guy I’ve met within the past two years. About six to be exact. · The first guy pursued me and then got shady whenever I asked him about what he did for a living and where he lived. When he started dodging and avoiding questions, wouldn’t initiate dates, and slowly stopped keeping in touch with me altogether, eventually, all communication ceased. · The second guy was someone I met through a family member. He was super cool, very smart, handsome, and funny, but didn’t want to be in a relationship and acted like he didn’t want to be seen with me publicly. When we had plans to meet for an outing, he didn’t show up, and then texted me about a week later with an apology. We chilled at my place a few times, had a few phone conversations, and exchanged occasional texts, but eventually he stopped responding to me
