love
All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
Reading is food for the brain
Today, I wasn't kind. I didn't think before I spoke. I allowed my emotions to fog my thoughts and control my actions. I was not impeccable with my word, I took something personal, I made an assumption, and I unfortunately didn't do the best I could have in a situation. I do however, have the option to try again. Maybe not in the same setting or scenario, but I do and will have other chances to be impeccable with my word. To not make assumptions or take things personally, and I will have other moments where I can assert myself and do my best.

No love is the same!
I often ask myself does true love even exist ! We live in a society where we have a image of this true love and what it should look like , but is that even love! Who said your love had to be their love or my love had to be your love. Every love story should be different. Love can start the same but different people cause different endings. Sometimes comparing your love to someone else’s love and thinking that’s what love is because they are happy can ruin something great for you, and that’s what happened to me . I had a great love but because he didn’t meet social media standards or offered what others thought he should offer I often felt he wasn’t good enough for me despite how I truly felt. This person really did love me but eventually he became exhausted with trying to measure up to what he thought were my standards but instead they were standards I gained from a social media standpoint. I lost what took me a lifetime to find because I didn’t know how to be proud of what I had when others were given so much more. I allowed other’s thoughts and perceptions to determine what was good for me. Him walking away caused me to slip in depression because I didn’t lose this man due to infidelity , his faults, or even my own but because of other people’s opinions and thoughts on what love really was . This made me question everything I had seen or any article ever written about love. With no where else to turn I decided to seek advice for my heartbreak and depression from social media since it helped sabotage what I had already found. To my surprise there was nothing, where were all the people that had so much to say and show about love do’s and don’t’s, didn’t they have advice for people that were seeking love or had lost love. I found that social media was great when it came to happy and perfect but where did that leave us , that were sad and didn’t have it all together. I just wish social media could be used for more than falsifying ones lifestyle. Instead I wish it was more of a place of honesty. After hours of searching for articles to get me through my heartbreak and depression I found nothing. This made me want to blog about my personal story and experience from wanting what others had and what social media lead me to believe was love just to show someone else that your love story may not be filled with ravishing gifts or lots of money but it’s your story and that’s ok . We have to take control of our own lives and stop seeking thoughts of others because even if we are headed to the same place our journey will not be the same. I lost so much trying to be a image of what others wanted and if there’s anything that I gained from this entire situation is how to find myself and distinguish my wants and needs for self and no one else, and I hope my story can inspire someone else to share their story even if it isn’t so perfect. I don’t have anything against perfect I just realize perfect isn’t the only option we have and I’m not perfect and neither was the man I lost but we were ok for each other and he was perfect for me ! That’s all that matters when you love someone because no one has the pleasure of knowing what’s meant for you or your heart but you .

What To Do When You Discover Your Friend Is In Love With You
I hate starting these stories by saying 'back in my day' because I'm not that old. Yet, here we go. Back in my day… When I was beginning my dating endeavours, and beginning to mingle with men, I met my friend Craig. He's no longer my friend now, though we do remain social media contacts.

The Painless 5-Step Process To Moving On From A Cheater
Everyone involved in the cheating experience is screwed. Let’s all rejoice in that. You don’t win, as the cheat-ee. The person who cheated doesn’t win either, even though it may seem like that. There are no winners.

Love is one of the worst things I have ever came across
This is a story of a love that has destroyed me. Lost love, to be more specific. I'm sure many of you can relate. This isn't the first time it's happened to me, but it really never gets easier. It's not even the loss of the person: I've lost people before and gotten over it quickly enough. No, this is something else entirely—this is like losing a part of yourself and not being able to get that back. This is something I wouldn't wish upon anyone, even those who wronged me before and since then—it's just too painful. So if you'll allow me my nostalgia for a moment, let's talk about what happens when love dies."

Love
What is love? How can anyone even attempt to fathom the most 100 percent correct answer, they can’t can they? But I like to break it down into a couple different categories that are all very different and long lasting as opposed to those that can and most likely are temporary. There is love relationships between family, friends, and lovers. There is always some kind of love that is always around us at any given moment and is forever changing for good or for bad, but it just depends on what we are dealing with in the moment or the time in our life that can all have a very different affect. We all strive to find the piece of love that can really bring us to peace between the three, but the complexity of it makes that difficult.
