Why Love Hurts So Much

By Darrell Victor

One of life’s ironies is that your strength could be your weakness. Perhaps a source of happiness could also be a source of anguish. That is the nature of life. To expect that this could never be the case would be to reside happily in fool’s paradise. Love – in all its forms – emphasises this. It is the root of all relationships that we have with strangers or our loved ones.  Read more...

 Why Do Men Not Talk About Personal Issues?  Understanding Why He Won’t Open Up to You

By Derek Blandford

Emotions. Women thrive on them. Men hate them. Have you ever wondered, “Why do men not talk about personal issues?” Women find it extremely frustrating when a man won’t talk to them about what he is feeling. A woman can usually sense that something is wrong, but it can be extremely difficult to get a man to open up and talk about personal issues, especially if they deal with emotions.  Read more...

Thanks to @WisdomIsMisery, I came across this lovely video on youtube…  His delivery is quite commical yet there seems to be some sincerity behind his words… As MsGoodiGoodi always tells me, “the sincerest truth is often told through a joke.”

*Video contains profanity*

everyone reading this has been through the following scenario(or have you?):

you like him/her…you wonder if he/she likes you…you assume that he/she should know…you grow disinterested because he/she never showed signs of “like” (and you are absolutely positive that you did everything necessary)…you eventually find out that the feeling was mutual.

confusion sets in…

or has this only happened to a couple of people and is the exception, not the rule? Well, allow us to  investigate, beginning with a classic “case” of like gone wrong…  Read more...

Take my hand into yours… don’t let go.

Hold me tightly into your arms… don’t let go.

Embrace me with your glance… the sensation of your breath upon me… the sound of your voice traveling through my ears and down my spine as you whisper into my ear…

Your aura overtakes me… an outer body experience… yet your touch is reality… as you connect with me, I feel secure, wrapped within your love…  Read more...

I cannot go back, all I can do is go forward
There are so many things I want to erase, so many words I need to say
Where do I begin?
How do I begin?
I have had a glimpse of life with out you, and it is a reality that I do not want
What exactly does this mean, I do not know
I do know, that you are important to me, and I want you in my life
Sometimes you get use to someone, something
You get in a routine, and you just assume that things will always remain
I guess that was my mistake
Things are different. Things have changed. Things might not ever be the same.
I hope not…
I hope for a future with you
I hope to share my dreams and aspirations with you
I hope that you can look pass my faults and see my needs
See that I need you
Sometimes I get a bit beside myself
I lose control of my senses and let my emotions take control
For that, I apologize…
It is unfair for me to expect you to think or feel the way that I do
Is it wrong of me to ask you to let me in?
Let me in on what you are feeling…
Allow me to share those feelings, be it good or bad
I am up for the challenge
I know the road ahead will not always be easy
What is easy is not always what is best
Some things have changed, but one thing still remains
I feel the same way for you today, as I did yesterday
My first thought when I wake up is still you
My last thought before I go to bed is still you
Sometimes I hold back, and not show exactly how I feel
I have worked so long to protect my feelings
The walls we build around us are so much easier to put up than they are to tear down
Sometimes it is hard for me to show you exactly how I feel
Sometimes I have a hard time articulating my thoughts
It seems the more I say, the more cloudy the sky becomes
I can see the sun rising on the horizon, and I know that great things are to come
I have allowed myself to breathe, and now I have clarity
It is clear what I want…
I want your arms to hold me.
I want your lips to kiss me.
I want your smile to welcome me.
I want your voice to whisper to me.
I want…
You.

I have on more than one occasion had a guy tell me that I can be intimidating.  When I ask them to explain,  I usually get that I am intense, direct, and I come across as mean to those who do not truly know me.

I admit, that I am passionate about what I believe, and sometimes that does come across very intensely…assertively when speaking…  Read more...

Do your friends (past and/or present) not get along with your significant other (past or present)?

Think about the reasons why they do not get along… then ask yourself…

Am I partially (or wholly) to blame?  Read more...

ok…i tricked you, there is no method you can use to manipulate, prod, or cajole the truth out of someone; but i will examine why we don’t tell the truth, and how much better things would be if we did.

in any relationship, trust is an issue.  either you do not trust, you trust too much, or you are seeking trust–whichever the case, the issue is trust  Read more...

Baking a Positive Relationship From Scratch

By Gary Gzik

Building a positive relationship takes time and patience. Most of the time, we can say that such a relationship won’t just form over night – we have to “bake them to perfection”.

It’s true, most of us are looking for the perfect relationships, and ultimately we all want peace and harmony in our lives. However, building a positive relationship takes a few key ingredients, some of which can be altered to your personality and preference, but all the rest being essential to getting that “yummy” outcome.  Read more...
