Everyone has reasons for throwing in the towel and walking(sometimes running) away from a relationship. Whether they seem ridiculous to some or not, they are in fact your reasons. No-one has to accept or understand them but they do need to respect them. So here are my top reasons for kicking someone to the curb (gently of course, ok maybe not).
1. Dr Jekyll/Mister Hyde
If I met you and fell for you but 6 months later you have turned into someone who now scares me…chances are I’m gone.
2. Drugs
If your drug of choice is something other than me and you want or need that more than our relationship…have at it…without me.
3. Alcohol
Social drinking is absolutely fine but if you need to knock a few back in order to be around me… see ya.
4. Priorities vs option
I would rather be someone else's priority than be your option… I’m out.
5. Physical/mental abuse
Been there done that, never again. At the first sign…You will never see me again.
6. Cheating
To me this one includes even thinking/talking about it. Even as a “joke”. So if you really want that little hottie or are even thinking about that sexy threesome… don’t include me in your thoughts or your life.
7. Excuses
If you have found time for your friends or family, your tv or your phone, your pets or yourself but always have excuses for more time to spend with me…have fun with all that free time to spend alone.
8. Honesty
If you tell little white lies, sooner or later there will be bigger ones. If you can lie once you will surely do it over and over. Be honest from the start otherwise…bye bye.
9. Trying
Don’t use the phrase “I’m trying” when clearly everyone can see that you are not. After hearing empty promises of change for a long enough time… I will leave.
10. Loss of attraction
It’s sad but most certainly happens a lot. If you are no longer attracted to me but still show interest in other women, why am I even here? If you are watching porn when you can have me anytime… then watch me walk away.
11. Money
If you have money for lottery tickets and other activities, for god sake at least take me to McDonald's. Don’t tell me you’re broke then spend more money that you supposedly don’t have. I hope you do win the lotto so maybe you can buy an inflatable girlfriend to take out to eat… later guy.
12. Talking shit
Don’t get angry and talk shit behind my back. Don’t tell your friends about how shitty I treated you or how pissed you are. It is not their business and puts them in a weird spot. Talk to me if we have a problem. Can’t seem to keep your trap shut…talk about how I left you.
Unlucky 13. Hands
Don’t ever put your hands on me out of anger! I mean really, a real man would never put his woman in that position. If I even feel threatened by you my only recourse is getting away(and maybe calling the cops). You won’t have a second chance to do it again.
So there is my list. Unfair you say? Oh well, pull your big boy undies up and be the man a woman needs, not the man she walks away from. Too many relationships end because no boundaries have been put into place. Boundaries are not bad, they let the other person know exactly what you will and will not tolerate. To be fair, this list goes both ways. Honesty and communication work best when both people are on the same page ;)
Much love, G.

Hidden Happiness
The world in which we live, is constantly changing, and this applies even more so in these days in which we live. With the implementation of AI into the workplace, people are beginning to fear for their jobs. With the rumors of wars circulating across the globe people are falling into fearful states, that are spurred on by changes, the likes of which we have never in human history, experienced before.

"Shores of Peacefulness: A Day of Rapture at the Ocean side"
The sun rose into the great beyond, projecting a brilliant gleam across the serene waters of the sea. Seagulls took off above, their cries reverberating through the pungent air as the delicate beat of the waves lapped against the sandy shore. It was an ideal day at the ocean side, and for Emily and her family, it guaranteed vast experiences and loved recollections. As they showed up at the ocean side, Emily's heart expanded with energy. She could scarcely hold on to feel the warm sand between her toes and the cool sea breeze all over. With a screech of pleasure, she ran towards the water, her giggling dragging along her like a strip in the breeze. The ocean side was buzzing with movement, as families and companions accumulated to partake in the daylight and the ocean. Youngsters constructed transcending sandcastles, their minds roaming free as they etched turrets and channels with their small hands. Couples walked connected at the hip along the coastline, lost in murmured discussions and sneaked kisses. Also, surfers rode the peaking waves, their chuckling blending with the thunder of the sea. For Emily, the ocean side was a jungle gym of vast potential outcomes. She went through the early daytime sprinkling in the waves, feeling the pungent shower on her skin as she moved in the midst of the surf. She gathered shells along the shore, wondering about their mind boggling shapes and lively varieties. Furthermore, she covered her feet in the warm sand, feeling the earth underneath her toes as she delighted in the basic delight of being alive. In any case, the genuine wizardry of the ocean side woke up in the early evening, as the sun plunged low overhead and the world was washed in a delicate, brilliant light. Emily's family assembled around a popping huge fire, their countenances enlightened by the gleaming flares as they simmered marshmallows and shared stories underneath the stars. As the fire snapped and popped, Emily felt a feeling of harmony wash over her — a sensation of having a place and happiness that she knew must be found at the ocean side. Here, in the midst of the excellence of nature and the glow of friends and family, she felt really alive, her heart spilling over with appreciation for the basic joys of life. As the night wore on and the stars sparkled above, Emily and her family clustered together, enveloped by covers and loaded up with the glow of the fire. They giggled and sang, their voices ascending into the night sky like a chorale of heavenly messengers as they praised the magnificence of the ocean side and the delight of being together. Also, as the fire consumed low and the last coals blurred into the haziness, Emily realize that she would convey the sorcery of this day with her until the end of time. For in the core of the ocean side, in the midst of the sand and the ocean and the stars, she had tracked down a piece of herself — a piece that would continuously have a place with the sea, and to the vast undertakings that looked for her on its shores. As the night extended, the ocean side took on an otherworldly quality, the twilight moving on the waves like a gleaming cover of silver. Emily and her family waited by the fire, sharing stories and chuckling long into the evening. The delicate sound of the sea filled in as a mitigating setting to their discussions, its musical rhythm calming them into a condition of quiet happiness. As they at long last advanced back to their ocean side house, Emily felt a feeling of significant appreciation wash over her. The day at the ocean side had been all that she had expected and the sky is the limit from there — a day loaded up with giggling, love, and remarkable minutes imparted to individuals she treasured most. As she floated off to rest that evening, the waves reverberating in her ears, Emily realize that she would convey the memory of this day with her generally. For in the excellence of the ocean side and the glow of her family's affection, she had found where her heart could really find a sense of contentment — where each second was loaded up with wizardry, and consistently was a gift to be enjoyed.
