Through the Mirror

(picture by yours truely =] )

Looking in a mirror and I see myself, my reflection and the evidence of my experiences. This month I have truely learned that love beauty and happiness come in the most unexpected of packages. :-) Life's sunsets are hard to deal with but sunrises come soon after, and remember, those are the times when its most beautiful. Through the mirror, I see where I was and what Im leaving behind. Through the mirror I persevered.

Stress free is the way to live, listen to what your mind is telling you and what your heart often fails to comprehend. Being treated how YOU want to be treated should be your ultimate goal, so surround yourself with people who have that respect for you. Raised like a princess, I expect to be treated like one, I dont know if thats a problem or the solution;; either way, I'm enjoying the equation.

Broken Rules

Some were just made to be broken.

Make him miss you sometimes when a man always know where you are and your always readily available to him- he takes u for granted.

Dating is fun even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.

You should never look for someone to COMPLETE u a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals.

You need time to heal between relationships, there is nothing cute about baggage. deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.

You should not be the one doing all the bending ... compromise is a two-way street.

Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.

Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.

Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.

The only person you can control in a relationship is you. Don't settle.

If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will get better."

If a relationship ends because the man was not treating u as u deserve then heck no, u cant be friends. A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.

Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better.

Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.

Some to Remember. (He's Just Not that Into You)

A man who wants to make a relationship work will move mountains to keep the woman he loves.

Beware of the word "friend". It can often be used by men or the women that love them to excuse the most unfriendly behavior.

He may be one of your closest friends, but I'm sorry to say ... as a boyfriend, he's just not that into you Rather than the the far greater expectation of a boyfriend Hes got the ultimate situation a great friend w/ all the benefits of a girlfriend

Soaring Contemplation

And as she sat on a plane cruising towards more pleasant breezes, she couldn’t help but consider the life that lay ahead, and if it would satisfy her expectations and hopes. Would it be traveling to see the world like she longed to do, or would she be reduced to living a simple existence?  She is filled with anticipation, hope, and excitement, yet a terrible fear of failure. But she continues to smile at the thought, knowing she will not fail, she will not lose, and she knows it. Her thoughts then begin to settle on her friends: the few true and amazing ones she has fallen in love with.  And of course her flow of thoughts are interrupted by HiM*. What would become of them? Someone she had always known and appreciated. She can bear another heartbreak, but would rather not. Why is it that a woman’s life is consumed by love? Love of herself, her loved ones, and sometimes primarily her lover? An arrangement that varies so much, and consumes the mind, heart, and soul, but why? And should it? She now sits back, relaxes, and waits for the complimentary snacks and beverages offered, trying to forget about the questions she can not yet answer.
