Love in Low Tide
A person who brings you peace and gentleness is more precious than one who only offers passionate gestures. Peace doesn't mean the absence of emotion; rather, true affection is quiet. It is not the kind that loudly proclaims its devotion, but a silent, understated love—one that involves keen observation, understanding your thoughts, and providing what you truly need.

Be Matter of Fact
Say what you mean. Be direct. Provide what you want, the when, and the how. But most important, provide the why. Speak plain. Speak clear. Speak matter of fact!

Healing in the Stillness
Loneliness is precious because only in that quiet stillness can you truly hear the voice of your heart. You have faced your sadness and shed your tears alone, with honesty. You accept them, knowing they are life lessons—a vital part of the journey. Only when you are alone can you truly grow.

Okay, a week before last week I heard the baby in my stomach ask for money !?

Okay fine, I keep hearing that MY child is driving 9,000 steps in the middle of NO - where hoping they end up somewhere !? WHO keeps doing this thing, who keeps asking me for things - I don't have a CLUE about, who keeps doing that !?

The Ghost in the Room
Love may end without a result, but it cannot end without closure. We can all accept that a relationship might not last. Time changes, people change, and feelings fade; these are not faults, they are just life. What makes it hard to move on is never the separation itself, but the lack of clarity.
