Finding your YOU that leads to TWO
Some women can do anything and they STILL get their man. They make it look so easy.
“So why can’t I?” You wonder.
The very fact that we’re looking for a list of rules to follow is the reason why.
We think if we just do this and that, or what someone says we should do, we’ll have it.
We’ll get the guy.
But the problem is that following a list of rules only gets us that list of rules. It doesn’t get us the guy!Continue Reading
Beautiful Katie has been dating a guy who's suddenly gotten very hot and cold on her. He says he doesn't want a serious relationship, and now she's wondering if it will ever work out.
So a while ago I started seeing this guy and things were pretty good.
I had been talking to him for a while before that and we had a lot in common. When we finally met up in person it was like I had finally found someone who understood me. He was extremely nice and polite and sweet - all qualities I never knew I wanted.
I was always reading a lot into the relationship though. I hate not knowing how other people feel about me.
We went on two dates and the second one went similarly, where we got along amazingly, better than I had with anyone else, and it felt really right. He made me extremely happy.
From the beginning I was worried that he wasn't as into me as I was in him because he didn't kiss me on the first date, but then he did on the second one. We were talking almost every day after that and would have long conversations about what we wanted in life, we have very similar wants for our futures.
On top of that we have a lot in common. A lot.
It feels like we're reading each other’s minds sometimes. I got into a bad car accident after our second date and things kinda spiraled from there. I was really depressed and needed someone to be there for me in a way that was kind of asking too much of him since we weren't that serious and I got disappointed.
He was there for me but I wanted some stupid gesture like showing up at the hospital or coming to see me to make sure I was okay. That didn't happen but things were still going pretty well and he was there for me for a lot of it.
Then he stopped texting me back.Continue Reading
We’re not meant to do this alone.
You’re not meant to.
And yet contrary to our inner knowing that knows this to be true, we try. Again and again, we try. We’ve put on ourselves that we can do this alone. That it’s a sign of strength, a show of our power, to make it on our own.
I fall into this trap, too.
I think I can do it on my own, that I don’t need anyone else. But the truth – the real truth, not the truth we want it to be – always comes out in the end.
We never should have met. She was a Junior, I was a Freshman. In a University that neither of us intended to attend.
She had envisioned a college in the woods. I had never in my wildest dreams imagined myself in an entirely different country, in Los Angeles, California.
But it was there that we met.Continue Reading
There's a trail of messages behind you.
Too emotional. Too sensitive. Too heavy. Too deep.
Too this. Too that.
Too much is what you hear.
Not enough is what you feel.
I know this, because this is what I felt, too. We all do, they're different for each one of us, but they're there.Continue Reading
We all know her.
She’s the one who can be herself so effortlessly. The one who says and does what she wants so unapologetically. The one who always seems to get what she wants.
She’s the one we’re secretly so jealous of. She moves about a room with ease, she’s never without a date, and unlike you, she’s not worried about who is or isn’t calling or texting or overthinking everything trying to figure out what her next move should be.
Sound familiar?
She was to me, too.
If only I was more like her, you think. If only I could do relationships and dating as easily as she seems to.Continue Reading
It’s opening night.
All eyes are on the curtain as it slowly begins to rise.
There you are.
He’s looking at you like he’s never seen you before. And with good reason. He hasn’t.
Not like this.
You step out into the spotlight and he sees the woman he’s been waiting for his entire life.
You.
He can’t look anywhere else. You mesmerize him like no one else has ever done before.Continue Reading
