As we approach this Halloween season, I must warn my fellow women against a most terrifying apparition: The Vulture. The Vulture is not a monster, not a ghost, but something even more bone-chilling. A...

I’m used to patterns. More so, I’m used to myself. I know my standards; I keep myself healthy, and I stay focused on my goals. I’ve never extended a relationship further than a friendship, and I...
