A question that many ask but no one can quite answer. I say it all depends on how you look at things. Love is a feeling that is hard to define l. Yet it is so very present in everyone’s lives. Because it is hard to define, going in blind is something we all do in some form or fashion. It’s that sensation that we believe so deeply and that caring that we have for someone, whether it is a partner, a friend, or a family member; love is very present and very incredible. So is love blind? I would like to think so. Because in many ways love allows…

I read something that I thought I would share. It was about what love is. I have blogged many times, but I liked this way of seeing things as well, which is why I wanted to share. I will sum it up in my own words. What love is not: validation, attention, control. What love is: care, belief, and consistency. How true these words are. People do not realize that you cannot have one without the other. In life, we are always seeking things because we feel low self-esteem within ourselves. But if you want a true relationship with love, you need to stop seeking things that do not bring…

It can be painful to lose a relationship that is so dear to you, whether it is because of a breakup, death, or even because it was an unhealthy relationship. Any kind of breakup can hurt, even if you are the one doing the breakup. But loss is very much a part of love, because without loss, we cannot understand the extent of how much we can love, heal, and grow. These are important in everyone’s life. The challenge with love and loss is finding closure. There are different ways a person can approach closure, but we need to do it for ourselves and not for the other person. Life…

People often think that their partner should value them. And I am not saying that they should not, but I happen to see this from a different perspective. Yes, we should all hold value in those we care for, but the most important value in a relationship is your self-value. I am not talking about being selfish or only thinking about yourself. I am talking about holding yourself as a value. You need to remember that you are someone special, you are the only you on this earth. And when we hold ourselves as having value, then those around us will also see this and hold a certain value on…

“If not for you, my sky would fall. Rain would gather, too. Without your love, I’d be nowhere at all. I’d be lost, if not for you.”. Bob dylan Valentine’s Day is drawing near, and it is a time to wish those you love a special note or show them how much you care. As much as it’s a great time to show your partner how much you love them, it is also a wonderful reminder that we should show those we care about our appreciation for them being in our lives.  Showing your partner your love should be every day of the year. However, Valentine’s Day allows us to…

Good sex is not a bad thing. However, we also need to remember that good sex can lead to pushing aside red flags. This is where we need to be careful when we are in a relationship that has good sex. There are no issues with being in a relationship that has good sex. Just it can cloud our vision of what is actually going on in the relationship. I know some people will say that it is never a good idea to stay in a relationship that has good sex. I say we can stay in the relationship as long as we keep our eyes open to what is…

When we need to deal with a hard conversation, we need to not fear it but think about how we approach it. A hard conversation is not a bad thing. It is a bridge between two people to get them closer. However, many people think that a hard conversation can lead to conflicts ct. But trying to have a hard conversation in the right way can make things easier. Try talking in a less attacking way, like starting with the intention for the conversation being a connection with the person, which can help soften the conversation. Always focus on the actions that happened and not the individual. This can help…

“Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave.” Mary Tyler Moore Often in life, we praise bravery as a huge amount of strength without fear. Yet this is not the truth about what bravery is. It is not in NOT feeling fear that we are brave, but in the actions we do despite the fear we have. And in love, being brave and fearful go hand in hand. It takes a lot of courage to keep looking when we have been hurt or to stay vulnerable with our partner when we don’t want to, or to…

We all deserve a partner who is loyal and kind. But the best part of having someone on your side is the fun you have with them. We need a partner who can make us laugh and happy, a person who will continue to flirt with us. The little things that you can enjoy together are what make living life with a partner fun and enjoyable. One thing that is also important is having our partner there when the days are rough. Because anyone can be there when things are happy and fun, but it takes a strong person who truly loves you to stick it out in the hard…
