Love & Waiting

"It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but its also true that we don't know what we've been missing on until it arrives."

I'm sure you have heard this quote before in some form or another and since

it is such a popular quote, I decided that it would be something interesting to write about... hopefully :)

Anyway.. Sometimes for us to realize how important someone is to us we have to lose them. We are forced to live without them and realize how much they were a part of our lives. Not the best way to figure something like this out but it works none the less. Do you agree?

Its definitely true, I believe, that we don't know what we have been missing out on until it arrives. How could we possibly know how something feels if we have never personally experienced it. YOU CANT. So what this quote is inferring is that, yeah maybe you don't know what you have until you lose it but, you could be missing out on something better waiting on that certain someone to return to you. Yeah I know the quote "if you set something free and it comes back it was yours" but how long do you wait? If your partner sets you free for a significant reason, it's one thing but if its just an end to a short lived relationship, why waste your time? They set you free, they should have to fight to have you back! OR you could move on and discover what you have been missing out on. If its better, and that person realizes how lucky they are to have you, they won't let you get away.

(You could be waiting a while)

Don't forget this quote!!

("Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, "thats her")

Remember always, positive thoughts = positive emotions

Peace, Love, & Happiness

Lost Love

Never be sad for what is over, just be glad that it was once yours.

This quote has good intent but isn't very realistic. While I do agree with the quote that we shouldn't dwell on the past and we should keep moving forward, I disagree that you should never be sad.

Many of us go through break ups in our lives and we know that all situations are different but it never seems to get that much easier to leave the past in the past. It's ok to be sad that something is over but don't let it overwhelm you, give yourself boundaries. Allow yourself some time to grieve and then when that time is up, start doing every little thing you can to move forward and away from it. If you start to get upset over something from your past, don't let it get you down, be glad that you can say it once was yours. Be appreciative of what you have, and what you have had, the lessons you learn from them are worth the heartache. But be sure to remember those lessons, carry them with you to your next relationship and apply them when needed. Don't make the same mistake twice.

Keep a positive support system in your friends and family and go to them when you need help, it's not a bad thing to ask for help, it shows a strength in you, that your willing to learn and grow.

Always remember, positive thoughts = positive emotions

Peace, Love, & Happiness
