Anyone who has ever been in a long-term relationship can tell you that it’s not easy at all. Life comes at you, people change, and through it all, you’ve got to decide to keep going forward with the same dang person. Of course, that person can choose to make it easier or harder, and for...

Have you ever felt as if you just had to do something or say something, just because you identify as a female? What about if you identify as a man? I mean, we all know that gender doesn’t mean anything, but sometimes it really seems like we let it define us. That’s the premise behind...

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know that traditional gender roles and activities and behaviors associated with each are under attack from all sides – probably because they are nonsense and your reproductive organs really have no bearing on how you act or what you enjoy doing, right? Twitter in particular has...

Anyone who has been married will tell you that the days, weeks, months, and years are just made up of moments – some of them are challenging, others are sweet, still more are funny, and together, they build into the memories you take forward. The funny moments are the ones that can keep you going...

I don’t know about you, but I don’t understand people who don’t enjoy learning about history. There are as good of stories in the history books as in any novel, to be honest, and that goes for mysteries as well. If you’re skeptical, just check out these 16 real-life mysteries that have never been solved…and...

Every job in the world has its perks and its downsides, and unless you’ve worked each one, it can be hard to gauge what those might be. For those of us who haven’t been over-the-road truckers, I think we imagine the freedom would be a total upside (and for me, being able to listen to...

They say that in life, you get what you pay for. I think that in many ways and in a lot of situations, that’s totally true – but not always. There are always bargains to be had, right? Likewise, there are things that no one should have to pay for – things that we should...

No matter how smart you are, how well you excelled at school, there are bound to be things you wish could have been different. And if you didn’t mesh well with the strict boundaries of school to begin with, then you probably have more than a few complaints of your own. These 14 people are ready and...

Some people really love school. Other people hated going every day of their life. Whichever category you fall into (or if you fall somewhere else on the scale), though, there are surely things you would have changed about your experience if you could. These 16 people, whether in school still or with it in their...

I feel like we talk a lot on the internet about the red flags of immaturity in men. They get a bad rap for being subpar husbands, dads who are half paying attention, and dudes who depend on feigned incompetence to get through life, but what about the flip side of the coin? There are...

We’ve all got to have at least one thing that gets us going in the morning. One thing that forces our eyes open and makes us kick off the covers to face another day. If we didn’t, well…why would we get out of bed at all? These 15 people are sharing the little pleasures that...

Do you have something that gets you out of bed every morning? That first cup of coffee? A chat with your mom? A nice, long walk with your dog? I hope you have something that makes you happy every day, because life without something to look forward to doesn’t seem like it would be much...

Sometimes it can seem like all of the ways we could possible change our lives would also be a ton or work or take a lot of time to come to fruition. When we plant, obviously, it can take some serious time before a harvest is due. These 14 people say that’s not always so,...

I think that most people realize there are ways to improve their lives. Most of us want that, even, but it can seem like a daunting prospect. If we want meaningful change, we have to put in meaningful work, which usually means a bit of a time commitment, at least. Well, these 16 people have...
