New School Grinch

What it's like to fall in love, innocently.

Before you, I was a Grinch. I felt cold to the word LOVE. Even telling my mom "I Love You" made me feel numb. I told a guy that I was scared to say I Love You because every time I do, I get hurt. The very next day he shattered me. People always promised me they'd change, and when the second chance came around they were still the same negative Nancy they had been. No one ever really changes, do they? I had felt my heart continually shrink over a period of 6 months. Then one day, out of complete nowhere, I met you. I was a little weary to even respond to you. Not a bone in my body even remotely regrets it. You have shown me, in a little over two weeks, that love isn't supposed to scare me. Before you, and time someone got close to me, I'd pull away and run the other way. I was a deer in headlights. Driving down the road one day after a really long motorcycle ride with you, I caught myself smiling like a child with her first crush. In that exact moment, I felt like the Grinch. Not the mad and upset Grinch, but the Grinch who, after hearing the Who's singing, could feel his heart growing exponentially. I began to feel that warm fuzzy feeling I had once felt before, and I couldn't resist the urge to smile. I could slowly feel myself falling for you. That's the feeling I miss. I cannot begin to explain what it feels like to actually feel yourself, after a period of sheer darkness, rising to love someone. You are slowly pulling me out of the black hole I drowned myself in. You make me smile like a child who has just gotten her first bike for Christmas. I seriously cannot begin to explain how I feel about you. It's a peaceful happy, a content happy. A happy that even my mom has noticed. My pawpaw told me the other night,

"Princess, whoever you've been since Nana died hasn't been you. The second he showed up, my Princesses smile glowed once again. You're happy, and it makes my heart happy knowing he brought you back to life."

That was the second time in my entire life my Pawpaw has ever made me cry.

So enough of those really depressing, heartbroken stories from me. You are a true blessing, and even though my faith isn't the strongest, I thank God for your beautiful soul every day. I really do. The only way I can explain it in words, "I am so damn twitterpated with you."

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
