The Beauty Of Truth - April 2006

It’s not vital to always have a boy or girl on your arm. It’s not like breathing or eating.. believe me you'll live even though there's not a person next to you. And until you realize this, you'll never have a successful relationship. Too many people spend so much of their time looking for a person of the opposite sex that they neglect the person that needs them most.. themselves. I know you have heard this before but it’s soo true.. until you love yourself, no one will be able to love you back and if you think that finding the person of your dreams will complete you then you are going to be stuck feeling lonely for a long time. Your mate is supposed to complement you, not complete you. Before you jump into a serious relationship you should be able to feel comfortable with the fact that you may break up.. I’m not saying you will break up but you need to be confident that you are the same person alone that you are when you are with someone..

It’s crazy how things work out.. Just when you think you have everything figured out, something or someone comes into your life and changes it. I don’t know how many times I’ve said "I know my true friends" or "I know what my life is all about" or my personal favorite "I give up on love". But then a friend stabs me in my back, my life does a 180, and my heart wants to give 1 more guy a chance. And even though this constant change leaves me feeling like I’ve lost control at times.. somehow everything ends up clicking. You just have to come to grips that there are some things that you can’t control and realize that just because you can’t control them doesn’t mean you should just give up on them. One of my favorite sayings is "Never give up on something you can’t go a day without thinking about" because to be honest, the best things in life come from situations you can’t control.

Isn’t it crazy how much you can miss a person. You miss them so much that you can’t cry because you know it won’t bring them back, but you can’t get mad because it’s something you can’t control. And the dreams, man the dreams.. they seem so real; it’s like they are standing right infront of you waiting for a hug. But when you reach out, you wake up and realize there isn’t anyone there to hold, just a pillow.. And it’s not like it only happens at night because you find yourself in a constant daze, daydreaming about them. Thinking about the things you would do or say if they were to just walk through that door. Then just thinking about them makes you all excited and you look at the door.. but no one is there.. It gets to a point where you can almost see them, almost hear their voice, almost smell their scent, and almost touch them. But like Brandy said in her song, almost doesn’t count.

LoVe Or HaTe WhIcH iS eAsIeR?

April 18th 2006 09:56

Why is it easier to say you hate someone than it is to say you love them? You can get pissed off at someone and in the heat of the moment it’s so easy to say "screw you" or something like that. But when you are in the heat of the moment with someone you care for.. that moment when it’s just you and them and sparks are flying everywhere.. you can’t move your lips to say what you feel. I guess it’s the fear behind the love that keeps it from rolling off your tongue. When you dislike someone you don’t care if they do or don’t dislike you back. But love on the other hand, nothing feels worst than loving someone who could care less about you (believe me I know). Then again why hold back? What better thing is there to take a chance on than the person you care for? The same way love can be the worst experience you go through, it can be the best. And there is no better way to make someone's day than to look them in the eyes and say "I love you"...

Hey all!!

I just wanted to let everyone know I am going away for Easter break in New Zealand. Thanks to this fun system it allows me to make post now and it won't be on the website until later! Since I will have limited access to the internet, anyone who post questions or comments, I may not be able to get back with you until later. But keep the post coming! I am very thankful to the people who have asked questions and posted comments. It makes it more enjoyable and allows me to post things that really relate to my readers. I will be bungee jumping, glacier hiking, white water rafting, riding in a helicopter.. and all sorts of other things so just hope I make it back alive

I got a good idea from Cibbuano to post what I think a a decent guy consist of. Now I gotta admit my idea of a good guy has evolved as I got older, more mature, and more realistic. My list no longer have the fairytale rules that movies try to make guys follow.

WhEn Is It ToO sOoN fOr MoRe?

April 12th 2006 05:37

Question:

If you've just started seeing a guy that you really like, how long should you wait before you think about taking it to the next level, if ya know what i mean... One of my (male) friends said if he really liked a chick, he would wait 2 months before even attempting anything sexual, but I think this is a little over the top. How soon is too soon? And if it is too soon, would he just lose interest?

DoN't LeT rEaL LoVe PaSs YoU bY!

We all have someone in our lives that is there through thick n thin;

always there to listen, to cry on, to make you laugh, and always willing to forgive you when you make a mistake. What I don’t understand is how people can have someone like this in their life that would do anything for them, and yet they don’t show their appreciation. I'm not saying you have to buy them all these gifts or constantly tell them how much they mean, but show that you care. Don't put that person in a position where they have to assume.

QuEsTiOn: 2 dAy RuLE

Question:
I say a guy has a better chance with a girl if he waits two days before

making contact with a girl. My friends that are girls say, if she really likes you then it doesn't matter how many days it is. Hogwash. Calling the next day can completely change a girls perception of you into desperate, clingy, and just in general TOO interested. By not making your meeting with this person such an event, you come off as more experienced and less needy. Now, I am not saying it is going to make or break the relationship or hook up, but it builds up the excitement and anticipation that much more if she IS in to you. What do you think?

WhAt Do YoU wAnT tO hEaR aBoUt?

So I can talk forever about what comes to my mind about relationships, but Love Mate is all about what YOU want to hear! So this is your formal invitation to ask me questions or simple give me a topic. Ask about a personal experience you are having or about a friends experience or just something that is on your mind! Nothing is off limits. So what are you waiting for?? write a new post, comment, or be anonymous and send me a message. The only name I will disclose is my own! I'm waiting...

ThIs ScAnDaLoUs ThIng CaLlED LiFe

Want to know something.. this thing called life is full of scandals. Friends will turn on you without warning, explanations or sympathy. Infact they will walk all over u then flip the script and blame you for being in the way. The blind aren't the only ones who don't see what’s infront of their face; some people will never realize what they lost no matter how much you try to make them see. The people you look up to like your siblings, mentors, friends, and even your parents have secrets.. life changing hurtful secrets that you may find out unintentionally one day, forcing you to question the credibility of the lessons they preached to you for all of those years. Bad things happen to wonderful people, great things happen to the shadiest people, and karma doesn't always make its way back around. There are liars, cheaters, jerks, and ignorant people.. and universities do accept them and employers do hire them, so you can't always trust your surroundings. You will have days, weeks, and months where nothing seems right. Nothing is 100%, there is always room for the unpredictable in the highest probabilities..

YES it's true, life is full of unfair scandals but that's why there are mobiles to call, ears to listen, shoulders to cry on, addresses to email and best guy friends that live around the corner to let you in and make you laugh at all times of the night

. I wish there was a law limiting how many times your heart can break, how many tears you can cry, or how many people you are behind before it's your time to shine, but wishes aren't always reality. My suggestion.. when you are down, don't take peoples advice of thinking about the others that have it worse than you and suck up your pain. Give your pain justice.. cry, complain, get mad.. then move on because the easiest way to fly to higher limits is by letting go of your deadweight..
