my 3 year anniversary at work

It has been 3 years since I started working at my current job, a grocery store, and to be honest,I did not think I’d last this long! 3 years might not seem like a long time to most people, but this is my first job ever and I only expected to be there about 6 months or so. I still remember my first day of work, September 18, 2012. I was so nervous and shy, didn’t talk to many people.Since then, I have met many cool people, including one very important person 😊 This job has taught me a lot. Who knows what the next year will bring.Maybe this time next year I will be working at a new job! *crosses fingers*

After a quick visit to my local libraries and several Barnes and Nobles, it’s safe to say that there are some truly messed up children’s books out there. And now I will share them with you:

What Love Does (And Doesn’t) Look Like

James Michael Sama's avatarJames Michael Sama

Why do people who love you always lie to you and think it’s okay?

Why do people who love you try to change you?

Why do people who love you prevent you from doing what you love?

These are just a few of the questions I see pop up on my newsfeed every once in awhile, all with the same answer:

They don’t.

People who truly love you, do not do these, or other negative things to you. People who really love you will not betray your trust. They will not lie to you, especially repeatedly. Love is a product of honesty, trust, and mutual respect – without those things you cannot have real love.

This may be infatuation masquerading as love. This may be someone who is trying to control you by making you think that they love you. This may be someone you are attached to who you…
