Every year around St. Patrick’s Day a ton of runners head to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront for the annual Shamrock Marathon. Different people I know were regular participants and I decided to join along, for the very first time, as a standby volunteer while cheering on some folks I knew and different ones I’d just met. The event was a blast, and the fact that it was near the beach was definitely a perk. It was exciting seeing so many people with their family and friends participating in such a fun-filled local event. I’ve already been asked to actually run in the race next year (which I’m not quite ready for just yet… we’ll see 😄) but what I do know is that I had a really good time. If you’re looking for something fun to do, consider checking out different upcoming events in the Hampton Roads area and wherever else you may find yourself in this upcoming spring and summer season. 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
