I thought that this one was it.” During these times, I have come to formulate my own feelings on what separates a good relationship from the one that is destined to fail from the start.

Call me a hopeless romantic, but I am a firm believer in lightning or bells sounding when you meet the “right one”. My ex-boyfriend and I started dating when I was fourteen years old.
