there will be an answer.

ask those questions.....move forward from the responses.

what if both answers are true


what if both answers are true?
if the guy in question could be a combination of seemly opposite traits, might not the same be true in other circumstances?  a job loss be a stroke of good luck?  can you still be in love yet cheat?

we first need to feel safe.

1. set boundaries that correspond to the worst of time.
when times are good, establish limits that prepare you to deal with the relationship when times are bad.
this is how you keep from being blindsided. 
2. focus your appreciation on the best of times.
(book-What Happy People Know)
acknowledge the faults, dont focus on them, dont deny them, baste in his best legacy.
3. remain calm when you explore your options.
dont get caught up in the thought of past bad behavior predicts future consistency, but also dont assume his sweet charming behavior will last forever. when you explore the scope, youll learn if you can accept this particular mixed IV drip.

who am i without my camera.  part of me is missing.

here is to being content.

No need to sparkle.
No need to be anybody 
but oneself."

the mad hatter

does this mean im not real? 
~the mad hatter.

lacking creative juice.

how do i stop comparing me to you, and  you, and her, and him, and them, and their way, and how it was, and who you are, and how things should be, and how things were, and how things could be, and should be, and wont ever be.

how do you just be.  i wish to just be content.  happy.  blissful.

live so that you may live.

vive ut vivas




love


those who love less ..... controls the relationship.
