I’m starting to really like this stage. The little touches, the short, but sweet, moments of affection. Who would have thought that I would find that they made everything better? I can’t say that I’m one to let lust run my life, but I was never used to this. I never got this, the slow, pleasant walk. It makes me realize how much of the dating process I’ve missed.

You’re an effective distraction. 

1.  I accept that I’m not perfect, and there’s no perfect time – Too many people are hanging around and waiting for the perfect opportunity – or the time when they are perfect and have all the skills they need. But life rewards effort; so get out there and work hard … and eventually you’ll find that you succeed and reach your goals.

2.  I can’t please everyone no matter how hard I try – No matter what you do or how hard you try there will always be someone who’s disgruntled or upset.  So, don’t look for affirmation; just do what you think’s right.

3. I will participate in something I believe in – It doesn’t really matter what activity you choose, as long as it is something that ignites your passion … as this will bring fulfilment and true meaning to your life.

4.  I will learn to prioritise and do what matters first – We all get distracted by what seems to be most urgent … or something that is fun and makes life less of a burden. But if you’re going to succeed you need to set priorities. Don’t allow what’s less important to distract you from your course.  

5.  I will be select when it comes to choosing friends – We’re influenced and shaped by the people we spend time with. Their impact is profound – even though this is subconscious. So be wise in who you choose to be your confidantes and friends. Surround yourself with people who inspire and motivate you.

6. I will be there for others, and will help them if I can – In life, we reap what we sow – and that’s a crucial principle. That means the more that you help others, the more they will help you.

7.  I will choose to focus on the positives – Our thoughts affect our feelings and the ways that we behave. If you don’t expect success then it’s likely you will fail – in your work, relationships and life in general. So listen to your self talk … and straighten out your thinking … and start to focus on the positives!

8.  I will true to myself – You can’t be happy living someone else’s life. You need to discover and develop your own authentic self.That’s when you’re truly beautiful, and life feels meaningful.

9.  I will live in the present and enjoy the “now” – The past is gone and the future isn’t promised.Life is happening in this moment, so cease the day and enjoy “now”.

10.  I will look for the good and be thankful for each day – Life is full of gifts, if we will only stop and notice. If we choose to be thankful, and treasure all life’s gifts, then we’ll find our lives are filled with joy and happiness – and the hurts and disappointments won’t weigh us down as much.

He is not a man. Man knows responsibility and guilt. Man knows pain. Man is made to love and protect because he was built by God’s hands to be as mortal as his beating heart. He is lechery. A creature made of sin by the Devil’s darkest desires. His beating loins jest a heartbeat, and with each pump of girth you inhale yet another breath of his own intoxicating heroine. And in that moment, a little bit darker, a little bit paler, a little bit smaller, a little more change, and he wisps away another whisper of your soul.

I’ve really started to learn who my brothers were this year. Before that I didn’t even know I had them.

I dislike the compatibility scale. I worry that the more that I get along with you the less likely I am to find you attractive, and vice versa. Sure, you’ll have an outlier or two, but those are usually crossed out. This negative relationship really sucks. And while others can say that a random outlier may be significant in the data, it so rarely is. So in the end, the only way to satisfy both is to meet at the mean, of course. But would that really create the greatest happiness? It sounds like settling to me, rather than the desired goal.

Whenever I’m home alone I realize how silly and weird I am. I am downright ridiculous, but it’s how I am and I love it. I shouldn’t have to look good at everything I do, I should be loved when I’m at my craziest.
I think I’m adorable, so any guy that wants to be with me should want to kiss me when I’m crazy.

Yesterday was an unexpectedly loving day. Despite all the tiredness, I got so many hugs and “I missed you“‘s from my teammates. My love for them is so great and it feels so amazing to know how much they care about me and that they notice when I’m absent. I felt so extremely loved.
