Honesty and Vulnerability the Key to Intimacy

One of the main factors of having and keeping a good relationship is being able to trust, and have good communication. In order for others to trust us, we have to be able to become vulnerable, and show our vulnerability. Honesty and vulnerability go hand in hand. You cannot be totally, and genuinely truthful with another, without opening up fully to them.[...]

Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places

We are conceived through a connection, of the deepest kind, between a man and a woman, and from the moment that we are conceived, we are connected to our Mother in her womb. When that physical connection we began with is separated at birth, we spend our lives desiring to be connected again. How we go about, and how well we succeed, at re-creating that connection…becomes the story of our lives.[...]

"Puppet On A String" Who Is Controlling Your Strings?

I was raised in a family of givers, and caretakers, and the old fashion way, where the women wait on the men, and take care of the home, but in the world of relationships, that tenancy and upbringing, if taken too far, can get me into a whole lot of trouble with men, and ultimately be the downfall of any relationship. There is a fine line between caring for someone and allowing yourself to be a “puppet on a string”.

Have You Seen My Rose Colored Glasses?"

I was reading an article by Zara Stevens, and it hit on something that has been on my mind a lot these past few years. "You no longer make me happy anymore."

Both of us were filled with dreams that we were working to create together, along with supporting each other's individual dreams. But then there came that "crack", as Zara put it.

So it’s from this day forward.

Tired of Running

I’m tired of running. Tired of running away, that is. I have decided to hang up my running shoes once and for all.

I’m going to dig out the key to my heart that has been hidden and locked securely away in a solid box of fear, covered with dust and cobwebs. It’s time to take it out, clean it off, polish it up, but it in a beautiful gift box, for the man who desires it the most, treat it with loving care, and willing to take a hold of it with both hand…hold on to it tightly…and never let go.

I deserve to be loved, adored and cherished, which is more than I have been getting, or allowing myself to have. I have learned that my hearts desire is not going to come to me; I have to go out there and find it, and take a hold of it, for myself.

No more could a, should a, would a, and looking back. I have analyzed all the mistakes I have made, and the mistakes that others have chosen to lay blame on me, and I now know the difference. I hope in my heart that I can make good on those mistakes that are mine to claim, by changing my behavior in the future, when a similar situation and choice arises.
