You are a strong and honest woman. Let yourself be hurt, but grow through the experience. It has taught you so much, you have learned so much about yourself, don't waste the knowledge or the pain. You have to be true to your heart and your head even when it seems impossible. Don't give up on your dreams. When we purify our intentions, the desires in our heart are from God (thanks Sarah!). Don't settle.
Life is Beautiful!
AHHHH! Love love love this! I need to make a list. Totally PMS-ing right now and some of the old anxieties have started to surface...yet again! Feels never ending.
ReplyDeleteI think we should all make man check-lists. I really need to do it. I think I put it off because it become concrete that way. And you have no excuses for justifying those not-so-perfect-for-me guys.
And thank you for reminding me about desires. I'm struggling with that today.
Love this Meaghs :)
ReplyDeleteI have a man "Note" on my Blackberry, so that i can add to it at anytime. Its called "Because".. because one day my man will ask me why i love him, and I will be able to look him in the eyes not draw a blank, but be able to tell him all my reasons, that I started forming before i met him (of course there will be additions). This started because someone ahem, i will give you one guess, told me he was choosing me, and i didn't believe him, so I asked him why he was choosing me. I couldn't believe the lack of substance in his answer, so i swore I would never find myself incapable of telling someone the truest reasons why i love him. Here are some of the "because's" I hope i get to tell my love, ones that i dont find in very many guys:
Because..
- You fascinate me and I can't put my finger on why.
- You have all these layers.
- You have the unwavering steadfast resolve to stick by your decisions, refusing yourself the liberty to change your mind.
- You have the kind of self-mastery to abstain from undesirable behavior.
- You are somewhat on the fringe of society in that you know you were not made for this earth.
- You have opinions that are backed by sound philosophies, logic, and vigilant reasoning.
- You thwart people's attempts to manipulate you - especially women's.
- You do the right thing always, because you know it will pay off later.
- You have a rigid moral sense.
- You challenge me to love more.
