What would you sacrifice for love?

December 15 2015

Here's a question my mother posed in her diary:

Would you sacrifice almost anything for love?

Now, your answer would depend on a couple of things. It would depend on the level of self-esteem, self-confidence, self-respect and self-awareness you have. Oh - and did I mention loneliness as well?

Loneliness is sometimes a big part of why people get into relationships they shouldn't. Sometimes I wonder why people aren't comfortable being alone.

For me, it is absolutely bliss. I can come and go as I please, I don't have to answer to a significant other. I'm comfortable with my own company and I'm basically independent. I've also noticed that sometimes someone is attracted to a particular person because of what they themselves lack, and I don't understand this either, because I can immediately see when someone tries to do that, and that's when I tell them to go jump. Why would you want to sacrifice your independence to be in a relationship?

Here's hoping to a better future,

Morven.

Gut Feelings, First Impressions, Getting to Know People - Part 1

November 23 2015

How do you get to know someone?

Do things like what they say, don't say, do, don't do, how they act, make an impression on you? Or do you just bypass all of that and go straight onto idealizing the person? This happens ESPECIALLY with the opposite sex.

Do you ever ignore a nagging feeling in the back of your mind about what the person does or says?

Here's the great thing about ignoring these little warning signs: It bites you back in the ass and results in relationships falling apart.

Take note that there will be Part 2 coming - so stay tuned to hear what my thoughts are on all of this...

Here's hoping to a better future,

Morven.
