A Long Time Coming
Sitting on our swing under the tree just reading my book and listening to music. I jump as my friend Talia scares me half to death from behind. I didn't realize that they had gotten back from their football practice. Just as I go to pick my book up off the ground my bookmark flies away I turn my head toward my friend as I run to get it not looking where my feet take me, that's when I run into them. One of Talia's older brothers being the person I knocked to the ground. "I am so sorry!" I say as I get up and lend him a hand. I move back a little to give him some room when he takes my hand, I can't help the warm feeling it gives me. Just as he's about to get up I see my bookmark under his cleats, I let go of his hand and he falls back down this time laying on his back from the shock, "Oh Gosh. I am so sorry! again." I could just die of embarrassment at this point. As I go to pick him up again... I fail to notice a rock and trip and fall on top of him. This causes the wind to get knocked out of him, both of us groaning in pain. I look up to his face and realize that it was Chris. The brother I have had a crush on since we were ten.

Do you want to see me tonight?
Do you think you want to see me tonight? In a small grey window, the words appear on my screen. My thumb towers over the send button. It was hesitating --unsure of the outcome and unsure if it was the right thing to do, but somehow it mustered up some courage and pressed on. My device chimed a tiny sound confirming its task. The message is sent.

Investigating rather than Loving Your Partner.
Investigating rather than Loving Your Partner. The Trap of Getting It Confused By Calvin Smith, MA Many often seek to find the safest way to know who they can love and who they should not. Some resort to tricks and tests of loyalty in order to discover the position of a person's heart. In searching for answers, there are two perspectives that I’d like to explore with you today. They are the “investigator” and the “partner” perspectives. An investigator and a partner are not the same. The two come from different places although they may seem similar at first glance as they both seek answers to clarify the commitment of a person. Both the investigator and partner seek to find information, understanding..even in worse case scenarios they both can find fault but while the investigator seeks to report or apply punitive force, partnering engages the person in the relationship for the purpose of understanding, healing, supporting, restoring, enhancing, and developing with their partner with a better understanding of the challenges at hand. Although they both discover information, it can be a confusing experience if one doesn’t know why they are doing the fact finding. Further without a healthy perspective of self the information may be skewed resulting in unhealthy interpretations of their meaning that drive insecurity and even aggression.

You are not crazy!
You know deep down inside of you that you are worthy of love. You deserve so much more than what you are experiencing and receiving on the other end. You have give it your all...110 % and it still feels like it’s not enough. It never is going to be because it’s not you that’s the problem. The problem is him. Duh! I’m sorry to sound so rude but you know it’s true.
