There is a need in everyone that longs to communicate, engage and interact with other people. The relationships in your life from past to present are an active force that is building and shaping you as an individual. We all need wisdom in creating and maintaining relationships, because those whom we form our closest relationships with (such as a spouse, or best friend) will help to influence our life.
Most people think they know a lot. But, knowing something and understanding it is two different things. What do you really understand? How many people understand how a microwave works, or how an engine works? What about people and intimate … Continue reading Understanding –> Compassion –> Getting It
Having discernment when creating new relationships can be more of trial and error, than having a rule of thumb. For me, as I become more mature in life, the clearer I understand what it is I’m looking for in a relationship. … Continue reading Meeting People: Friends or Lovers?
Once every blue moon the subject of MARRIAGE will come to mind, and today is one of those days. This time it was placed in my mind because of a conversation I had with my mom and hearing her adamant desire … Continue reading Too High Expectations
What are the general qualities present in those who have the best relationships? I would obviously think that LOVE is the key to any successful relationship; however, since everyone has their own interpretations of what love is, and also their own opinion of what they deem attractive, it is reasonable to assume that we all have different qualities we look for in a girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse/life-partner/whoever… 🙂 As I was lying in my bed tonight I thought to myself, “I haven’t been intimate with anyone since my last relationship, which was about 6 months ago.” And, some may say that’s a long … Continue reading Relationship Qualifications
Just like a moth is attracted to a flame, I am finding myself always being attracted to women who don’t want to be in a relationship. One of the greatest mysteries of relationships to me, is the fact that there … Continue reading Is She the Right One for Me
I really feel it to be true that no one should be alone. As people get older and maturer, in most cases their values change. They begin to place less value in their material possessions and more value in their … Continue reading Alone
Ok… are you ready for a little openness, a little honesty, some candid thoughts and feelings, and a lot of REAL Talk. Because I know I’m ready for anything that’s real. I’m so tired of fake people and meaningless actions. Life is serious, so I feel we should treat it that way. 2013 for me was about coming into myself, going through matters of unexpected issues, trusting in God, and it was also a year of relationships ending, beginning, and ending again. In the middle of the year I faced a very serious situation with my best friend at the … Continue reading Relationships in 2014
Being this is season of spreading love, all while trying to embody a spirit of joy and happiness, I cannot help but to have a greater insight into the character of those who choose not to live in the spirit of this holiday season. The holidays really do bring out the best and the worst in people. There are some who really do give from their heart, in effort to show love and kindness, while others will get mad at the world and take it out on everyone they know because they’re not getting what they want or their life … Continue reading People’s Opinions: Be Yourself
I am proud and happy to say that I’m in a committed relationship! We have been dating for a little over a month now, though it actually seems so much longer than that. In this last month my girlfriend and … Continue reading Dating and Relationships: Tough Question
Have you ever felt neglected, or sometimes felt as if you didn’t receive love from someone who you feel, or know, loves you? For me, the answer is “Yes, I have definitely felt that way before.” I’ve learned that sometimes what I feel may not reflect with what I know to be true, when it comes to feeling loved. So, one day a friend of mine told me about a book called the 5 Love Languages. And, even though I knew that love is shown and received in multiple ways. The book helped me learn about how I viewed love, … Continue reading What’s Your Love Language?
