L O V E

Sometimes I sit and think about my life and my relationships. It makes me wonder about the ever elusive intangible feelings of L O V E.

In order to love another you must first love yourself. Not part of yourself, but your whole self, from the inside out. You have to embrace your own being before embracing another.

Having been in love (only two times in my life), and although my heart is open to love… I wonder… Will I allow myself to open my heart up wide enough to allow someone else in? Will I grant him full access to my mind, body, and spirit, or will I cordon off a percentage, holding just that little piece of myself back?

I’m told that people come into our lives for a reason and only for a season, so is my season over? Or has it just begun…I hope its just begun because life is too short to spend it alone and it gets shorter if you spend your time with someone you do not truly love. Sadly, this is a daily occurrence.

I talk to a lot of single men and women and while the majority still believes in love, and desire to love and be loved, some of them have given up on finding true love. They meet someone and if they like them and can tolerate their presence then that is great for them…they are willing to live out the rest of their days with someone they like…not someone they love. They have given up on that ever elusive intangible feeling of love.

Do you believe in love?

SC...that is true, but how long are we going to allow fear of loving another keep us from knowing true love.

I feel really good knowing that I have someone that loves me and cares for me, that is not related and/or obligated to give love because your blood. But someone that you click with, as cliche as tht sounds...its the truth...
I believe that love is a choice. We choose to love someone. We control the door to our home - we can open it to some and close it to others. May God bless you indeed.

Online Dating

When I first got my computer, I used to sit up and chat all night long with numerous people from across the globe. As I got bolder, I actually met some of these individuals that I had chatted with online. The one commonality I found was that they all lied about something...that was in 2002. Today, I am a member of three online dating services {I'm a free member to them so communication is limited} anyway, three years later I am finding the same thing...that they all lie for some reason or another. Now my girlz feel that I am crazy to not only talk to these freaks I meet online but to actually meet them. And I am beginning to realize that they are right...I am crazy or are they crazy? I'm crazy because I genuinely want a relationship, and I am finding out the reason why some of these men are still single and that is....drum roll please--- They don't say what they mean and mean what they say! That goes for the women as well! Now I know life happens and you had a life before ...

Relationship Deal Breakers

We all know folks out here tolerating alot of unnecessary bullshyt from their significant other...I sit back and look at them, saying to myself "Girl, you are good, because I wouldn't put up with that bullshyt," but you know what, someone will. Or is it more like someone has to? How many times have we heard that what one woman/man won't do another will? Too many times to count, right. But does that saying make situations right? I mean when someone does something that you don't like...betrays a trust, a confidence, cheats, steals, or lies etc...what makes some people forgive---over and over and over and over...how many times does a person get a second chance? Don't get me wrong, I feel that sometimes people make honest mistakes...but to continue to repeat the same mistake is not a mistake...its a problem, that obviously the person cannot fix on their own. When I think of deal breakers, I think like this... Cheating Cheating and the person gets pregnant Cheating...
