I am left drooling!

“What of the soul was left, I wonder, when the kissing had to stop?” – Robert Browning

It’s always great to have that special person in your life. The one who’s there to hold you up when times get rough and the one who’s there for all the fabulous moments that are worth sharing. However, how do we understand the benefits of love when it can so easily become your whole life?

It’s the age of the teen drama. People bitch, people break up and feelings linger on and on. Whatever you do, ladies, try to avoid going over to the dark side – put it off for as long as you can. Yes, society has glamorised the ideal ‘relationship’ but you’ve got your twenties to waste time dreaming about men who aren’t really worth your time in the first place. In any case, it’s a big mistake to forget who you are to be with someone else. You are only worth as much as you see yourself, trust me.

Unrequited love ends up being worthless, soul destroying and unrewarding. So, why do we permit ourselves to be rejected?

The answer’s simple: we don’t.

The whole reason unrequited love comes about is because of our own hang ups over how much we value ourselves and the confusion that inevitably follows when someone else doesn’t understand that inherent value. It’s a terrible tragedy but, funnily enough, we’ve made it up all by ourselves. The tragedy lies with us because we think everyone should see us how we see ourselves.

Therefore, give up the ghost. Someone will eventually be on the same page and it will be perfect. In the meantime find happiness in knowing how fabulous you truly are.

Peace,

I have taken huge risks lately (well they seemed huge to me) in love and life.

And today they paid off...yes I have a massive smile across my face :)

I am grateful that I took these risks, because to be honest it was really hard, I was damm scared, frustrated, angry, worried, hesitant and I even cried (which is unusual for me).

I would encourage all to take a risk, big or small, even if you are successful or not, it is the things you learn along the way that make you stronger.

I had a converstaion today with two girls that I work with

Typically as in most of our day to day ramblings we got around to talking about boys and all that they involve.

We each shared stories about past loves, lost loves, found loves and cheeky crushes.

It got me to thinking I have learnt and grown so much from all my different relationships during the last 22 years, realising how many life lessons I have learnt and how I wish that myself today could have somehow given my past self mini pep talks with the messages I would have appreciated and messages I wish to pass on to the younger generation to save them from learning the hard way like I did.

Girls in your lifetime you will no doubt have boys in your life who adore you, some who use you, some whom you adore.

There are a few simple things to remember to try and do whats best and healthiest for you.

5 Lessons in love

1. Never make someone your priority who only makes you an option. 

2. Listen to what your parents think, they may seem like the devil but they have known you your whole life and will generally (as hard as it is to admit it) to some degree actually know whats best for you.

3. Once a cheater always a cheater. 

4. People don't change, if you have to change someone to love them, then its not them you are trying to love.

5. Mates before dates, your friends will always be there for you, care for them like you would your family.

Sorry about the lateness of the blog I promise to be more on time next week!
