Love and Everyday Affairs

Sunkissed

Sun is so important is our mood!!!

Its warmth on our skin definitely translates in a body and mind kind of energy.

It awakens you, it makes you just feel better overall.

Sun and Sea seem to have the ability to heal you a bit at the time.

Go in to the sea and allow it to cleanse you, let it wash away all that needs to be taken away from your soul.

Breath.

Let the sunset refill you.

Let it work its magic.

May the Strength be with You

When lost and feeling helpless or hopeless, follow these footsteps!…

As the great diva says… there’s no other way.

And I agree… Your strength will guide you somehow.

Your energy will return.

Your light will eventually shine again.

Your laughter sooner or later will be there again.

The heaviness will take time to go, but it will disappear (that dark shadow will come and go throughout your life).

You force yourself to get up.

You force yourself to set one foot in front of the other.

And then you take it from there.

Live and let live

Oh yes… I was guilty of this in the past.

I wanted someone to change the way they dressed because I didn’t relate it at all.

And he wanted me to lose weight and consider breast implants….

it wasn’t rocket science understanding clearly we weren’t meant to be and however it was a 5 years relationship.

So nowadays, whenever I have a date, I understand that if I would like that person to behave differently, dress differently, grow their hair, shave and so on… it’s because it’s just not the right fit.

And it’s hard letting go because you want to find someone so much…

You think that if you can get them to look and act the way you want, then it will be the right person… but if you feel like you need to change that person, then there’s no real connection… If there was a real connection, you wouldn’t pay attention to that.

It’s a matter of relating to each other and acknowledging that empathy or the lack of it.

Plus, if we don’t like it when other people try to change us, why would they like that we try to change them?

We are who we are… improve ourselves, absolutely!

Lose the extra weight because you’ll feel more confident, go for it!

Get a makeover that will enhance your natural beauty, go for it!

Go for anything that makes you feel better as long as you believe in it and in yourself!

So don’t try to shape others to you and don’t be shaped by others if it doesn’t please you.

Overthinking

How many times did you feel the need for an explanation on why something happened the way it did?

It seems to go in a direction and all of the sudden, it just goes the opposite and it catches you off guard.

You think about every little detail, every single reaction, word, thought.

You turn it into a rational process when it’s everything but that. It’s an emotional one, all the way.

It consumes you and drains your energy.

It denies you the “why” and the understanding.

So you’re left with no choice but to digest it, process it, regardless of everything else.

It’s just the way it is… the hard part is leaving the brain alone. There’s no switch to turn it off or, at least, pause it. Overthinking is the mind playing games.

It’s tiring and you can’t stop it.

You can only acknowledge it and know that it’s only that bad in your mind.

Because reality is there. Moving on.

And reality moves on with no questions asked.

People are People!

There’s a difference between comfort and greed.

Get your priorities right.

We all strive for opportunities and dreams and, if by any generous strike of luck we make it, we should consider ourselves proud.

However, it doesn’t give anyone the right for arrogance and diminishing others.

People are People. Respect them.

What differs between them is circumstance.

And circumstances easily change.

I believe what you give is what you get, sooner or later.

So never think money, power or a great job will support you forever because on the day it all crumbles, the only thing you’ll have is… People!

So just be nice and respectful.

That’s it.

How hard can it be?!

Dream Jar… Mix and Shake

We all have our dreams…

for some it’s starting a business, for others is saving for traveling the world, starting a family, a big house with a garden, cats and dogs, for others it’s about finding Prince Charming…

Some dream of peace of mind, others dream of a perfect body… dreams come in all shapes and sizes.

You can have only one or collect them… (I personally collect them… 😁🙈)

Don’t lose sight of them.

Do what you can at any moment to get you one step closer to them.

Some of them really don’t depend on you only. But still, don’t allow them to disappear.

Life changes in a heartbeat, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

So be sure to keep them in mind.

To stay focused in achieving them or at least to give you hope and guidance on your way!

Diluted Beauty

Beauty is in the detail…

I’ve been here so many times and I had never seen it!!

Finally I saw the Unicorn…

How can one be so disconnected on what’s around us to the point of not noticing something you love?

And then… I saw the Piano!!

Beautiful and unique pieces on their own, but discreetly diluted in the wholeness of the lobby… same as people… beautiful on their own but diluted amongst everyone else.

One needs to pay close attention to each person’s unique beauty!

How hard can it be?!

Need nothing, Want it all

This describes nowadays women so well…. especially single women.

We all know that if they get to a point in their life in which they’ve done it on their own, it’s because they don’t really need a man to do it.

I admit I’d love to have a man around my household… it would be so cool having someone to hang the pictures on the wall, to put together Ikea furniture, to fix my technology issues… but guess what?!

One way or another, I put everything I needed on the wall and got someone to put together whichever furniture I wasn’t able to.

Only my tech issues remain unresolved (haven’t figured that one out yet, it’s just an inate inability 🤦🏻‍♀️)

It’s proven we don’t need them… however… I think I speak for most of us… we can’t live without them.

We want the caring.

We want that voice.

We want that hug.

We want that look that sees trough you and anticipates your moves and your words.

We want and crave for the connection.

We want to feel desired.

We want to feel like a Woman.

We need nothing and yet we want it all.

But while we don’t get what we want, we keep on doing our thing.

Life is still Life!

With or without you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A well-behaved Woman

What is a well-behaved woman?

As per whose standards?

A woman is an entire world of emotions and feelings.

And those emotions and feelings may vary as per circumstances, the people around you, your upbringing and even… the moon 🌕 (let’s blame it on the moon 😛🙈).

A woman can be the truest friend, simple, funny, sometimes childish and naive.

She can be a sea of peace, a solid rock, a kind of a clown just to make you laugh.

She can be the best mother, the best friend, the best daughter, the best worker with the angel face… but still… she is a full grown Woman!

There’s a different side to her… she can be in charge of her own body, of her own mind, of her own attitude.

One doesn’t replace the other.

She’s all together.

She’s the Lady and she’s the Lion.

There’s enough space for both to co-exist.

There’s the right timing, the right context and the right people for each one of them.

Versatility is a gift.

As long as you respect yourself and respect others, it’s a welcome gift.

No woman should be judged by accepting her independence, her brains and ability to decide what’s best for her at any moment.

This doesn’t make her a bad human being.

It makes her human. It makes her flawed. It makes her complete. It makes her free.

And eventually, sometimes (and only sometimes), it makes her stupid.

It’s a work in progress.

Important to say not everyone understands the complexity of a grown woman.

Not everyone can keep up.

And that’s when she tends to make herself smaller… simpler… quieter… to fit in a frame it’s definitely not hers but she doesn’t know it yet.

Society and petty minds make her feel contained and at some point she needs to break free.

Ladies out there… please let me know if I’m wrong.
