Turn Up The Love

In order to love someone else you must love yourself first, the rest will fall into place after. 

        We’ve all been there, the butterflies in the stomach, awkward encounters, the comfort of having someone around  and of course the bitter sweet break up when you least expect it. Rarely do we find “the one” we are meant to spend the rest of our lives with, but when we do, time seems endless.  We never want the good times to end. When its good, it’s great, and when its bad its hell. 

         When a relationship ends you seek advice from friends, counselors, and family members. Your heart aches and the thought of seeing that person out haunts you like a bad dream. It feels like a double standard at times; you can date but your ex cannot until you have fully moved on. You wonder if there is a hidden message behind the break up, if there is someone else or if there was any love involved at all. 

        We all need to grow as individuals and become who we want to be. Don't hide who you are because its what you think the other person will like. We all have this perception of how relationships should be. We watch television shows that portray the "perfect" relationship, where the girl comes home to a trail of rose pedals leading toward a bath tub where candles are lit and a bubble bath is made. Lets face it, television is not real its created for entertainment yet we thrive on what we see. 

         Break ups are hard as it is, don't make it harder than it has to be. Focus on yourself, get out of your routine and add a new asset to your life. Pick up a hobby or try something you thought you would never do! Focus on creating a new you, an improvement anything to make you happy and put you back on the right track!
