Listen up Ladies!

"And every time he does something that tells you he's no good, you ignore it. And every time he comes through and suprises you, he wins you over, and you lose that argument with yourself, that he's not for you." -The Holiday

Speaking from experience I know how easily this can happen. When we love someone so much it's just easier to ignore the signs that say he's no good. Love IS blind, but you can control your sight! If word on the street is he's a bad guy, chances are HE REALLY IS! This is definitely not the case all of the time but if it's coming from more than a few people, don't kid yourself. You can't change anyone that doesn't want to be changed, so unless you go into the relationship with him saying he wants you to change him DONT WASTE YOUR TIME! It's natural for women to be this way because of their nurturing type characteristics, but let's be real, you don't want a "son" for a boyfriend or husband.

So quit staying in relationships that you know aren't going to last or aren't worth the stress they put you through, your wasting precious time you'll never get back. Do it for yourself, you deserve to be happy.

Peace, Love, & Happiness,

Life....

That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee and sometimes, on good days, for falling in love."

We see what we wanna see!

"What we see depends mainly on what we look for." -John Lubbock

I think this quote is extremely accurate in what it is trying to say. To me, this quote means you see what you want to see, not necessarily what's reality. I believe this is one of our biggest problems as human beings. We're afraid our emotions and that can cause some really skewed views of things in certain situations. Like if your friend has a drug problem, you don't want to have to deal with intervening and causing a lot of drama so it may cause you to completely overlook something that's right in front of you. Or if your husband is cheating on you but you don't want to divorce because you don't want to get hurt and be alone, you can just completely overlook all the signs.

Just because you don't want something to happen, isn't going to keep it from happening. Deal with your fears head on and quit procrastinating, you are only making things worse in the long run. Stand up for yourself or for someone else when its needed! Emotions are normal, natural parts of life, its ok to be sad, mad, glad, bad, etc regardless of what anyone else says.

Remember! Positive thoughts = positive emotions

Peace, Love, & Happiness,
