Spring is just around the corner, making me think of what is coming. The flowers and warmer weather, to surprise snowfalls and rain. What can I say? Spring is the season for new, the season for the cold to go and to bring forth a new generation of flowers and animals. It is where people start new relationships or move into sturdier relationships. It is where weddings are planned, and pregnancies or births are held. It is a good season for all that is new. It is not my favorite season, but it can have benefits. It is time you can go out more because the weather is not so…

Relationships have their ups and downs, yet I find that people see relationships as disposable in today’s world. Maybe that is just me, but in all those I have encountered and read about real people, there seem to be two kinds of people. Those willing to put effort into the relationship and those who bail out without effort. Many people think marriage is just a party. If it does not work out, they can divorce and start again.  What happened to the love forever aspect? Is this just a concept that is lost? Or is it just something we only read about now? I do not believe the idea is…

I think sometimes we need to make someone smile. Especially in love relationships, we should know how to make our partner smile even if we have done wrong. When we do something wrong, I feel that we should not just apologize but make our partner smile. It allows a positive vibe to come out of a bad situation. I have heard that laughter is the best medicine, but I feel like it all starts with a smile. It has a ripple effect. When we smile at someone, it can make them feel better and change their state of mind. Yet, in this day in age, I find that people tend…

When we first start seeing someone or dating someone, we tend to be at our best. We show a side of ourselves that is not a complete picture of who we are. However, love does not work that way. When you love someone, you love when the person is at their best and when they are at their worst. Now that is real love. When you can handle a person at their worst, that shows how much you genuinely care for that person.  In my writing, many of my characters will show their worst sides before their best because of how they meet their partner. I find this is a…

I know today is not Valentine’s day, but it is so close I felt the need to write about it. To many people, this day is spent with your loved ones, whether your partner or with some family and friends. But it is a day to remember how much we have people around us who love us and how much we love them. Although the iconic Valentine’s day is all about romance,  I still like to see it as the day to remind us how much we are loved and who we love in our lives. However, speaking about romance is right up my alley, which is why this holiday…

Being in love is a beautiful feeling. It is why I love to write about two people falling for each other. I love to bring my characters into this world, feeling like they could be real people. Yet sometimes, it can be hard to know if the other person feels the same way. Words can be said, actions can be made, but we can never honestly know what is in our partner’s mind and how he or she feels. We hope that what they are showing and saying is the truth, but sometimes it can get hard to see what is actually love to what is lust. And we could…

“Actions speak louder than words.” Many people use that famous old saying to see how someone feels about them. It is a policy that can help when dealing with love. I think it can only help if we truly see what another person does for us and what we do for them. This famous saying makes me think of love languages. How we show love and how we want to receive it differs per person. So yes, actions may speak louder than words, yet sometimes words have more meanings than actions.  I think it depends on the scenario. If you are a person who likes to see the actions of…

“Give in to love, or live in fear.” – Rent Love is sometimes challenging. Because of our experiences, we can put up walls and fear being in a relationship with someone else. This encourages us to make more mistakes and tends to cause breakups. This often happens when a person suffers from a broken relationship and does not heal properly. Healing is needed when a person wants love in their life. Because without healing, love cannot thrive, which instead creates fear. I do believe in facing my fears and giving in to love. No matter how hard it can be. It will not always be easy to give in to…

Why is the word commitment a word that people fear? Why do we run? I have found that recently that people are often running from that word. They wish to dip their toes but not fully go head in. and why are they? Because fear is a huge factor in relationships. We all have them. We all fear something will happen. And these fears drive us either through something or away from something. And yes, sometimes our fears help us, but sometimes these fears hinder us. Fears can hold us back and make us lose. In many ways, I think this happens all too often. People allow their fears to…

Why is love so hard? As this iconic song suggests, love is hard. But is it really? I was recently asked if I got butterflies in my stomach or goosebumps when in love or around a specific person. I had to tell them no because that is not love, not to me. It is only what people suggest is love in movies and books. And yes, we can have these emotions before and fall in love with the person. But love is not a moment shared between two people. No, I believe love is moments [ plural ] shared between two people, which creates a stronger bond between the two…
