One sorry too late

You find yourself accepting the apology of your man/woman more often than you should. It makes you wonder if he/she thought about you before he/she did what they WANTED to do knowing that you would accept a simple "I'm sorry, Baby." You tell yourself that he/she didn't mean to do it or he/she is really sorry for hurting you, again. You should feel sorry for yourself for putting up with the lame excuses. For every one sorry you get from your s/o, you should tell yourself sorry twice. After a while, you'll get tired of hearing that word; however, it may be too late.

The heart of a woman

A woman’s heart is often fragile. It is generous and comforting, but when it is broken, it hardens. It shuns out everything and everybody and is almost impossible to penetrate. A woman’s heart can endure disappointment at every level within herself, but not from another. A woman’s heart can love a man more than she could love herself and when there is no man to love her, she can find no love in her heart. A woman’s heart should be polished like the finest silver, handled like a newborn baby, treated with respect, and admired for its beauty.  

Lost in translation

It's funny how two people can talk about everything when it comes to the "ideal" relationship, but over time, the two don't necessarily know if they are in a committed relationship or just enjoying "it" for whatever its worth. Most people don't discuss if they are in a "relationship" until it something takes a drastic turn. Some people don't come out and say it, but they like the concept of an open relationship which simply means "You do you; I do me, and whenever it's possible...we'll do each other."  

You, Me, We...

Under "normal" circumstances people need a reason of fault or blame to call it quits. Some people will take the blame and some will assign fault. The old cliche', "it's not you, it's me" always seem to be the best way to say, "I'm interested in someone else" or "I'm trying to let you down easy." Well, heartbreak feels the same no matter who is at fault. People need to learn to say, "WE didn't work hard enough at keeping this relationship together." And, "We allowed it to get this way." It's okay for both parties to take some blame; one for allowing it and the other for continuously doing it-whatever IT may be. Often enough, people repeat the vicious cycle of unacceptable behavior and sadly enough, keep going through the same heartbreaks and disappointment.

Missing....

I'm missing what we used to share; the conversations, laughs, and our deepest thoughts. I find myself missing you so much that I'm missing the me I used to be. It's hard to think about anything else because I can't get past what I think I'm missing. Somehow I failed to remember what I loved most about me. And, I feel as though a part of me has gone missing with you. Maybe it's time for me to find myself without you. But, all I know is that something is missing.

No other way to say it

Sometimes we tend to sugarcoat things to make others feel better and to avoid hurting their feelings. However, the truth is the truth. It's not always pretty, soft, subtle, sympathetic, or compassionate-it is what it is. When you refuse to accept the truth about yourself, you remain in a state of denial. Moreover, you'll expect everyone you come in closeness with to tell you the only the truth you want to hear, and after a while, you never want to be friends with anyone who doesn't believe in your truth.  

Planted

A woman is like a seed that needs to be planted in rich soil in order to grow, flourish and blossom. She is nourished by God. When she is held in the rich soil of a good man, her roots sprout deep within him to stay secure. His soil keeps her planted and protected from being plowed like weeds. As she blooms in and out of season, his soil loosens so that her roots go deeper in him just so that she continues to grow.

Never had a chance

It's easy to say that you're ready to move on and start anew with someone else, but it's hard to actually do it when your mind and heart is still with the one you need to move on from. The actions of someone has proven that he/she doesn't want to be with you. His/her lack of communication and interest gives you no reason to try and build anything other than a friendship. However, you can't let go of that little bit of hope for something you've wanted for so long. You go through the motions of being with another, yet, you're not really there. The sad part to it all is the other person starts to feel something for you. That other person honestly believed you when you said that you were emotionally, physically, and mentally ready for a lasting relationship, but you were thinking of the other person when you said those very words. No one will ever have a chance to love you if you can't stop loving the one who doesn't want to be with you.
