Self Respect

This is a very rare commodity. It is one of the most important secrets that people need to learn. Being able to put aside what others think of you is key to possessing such an important attribute. We may not receive a second chance in situations great or small so put all inhibitions aside and respond how you see fit to anyone or anything. There can not be any remorse. This takes away your power of the control in your life that you have worked towards. Mutual respect is much more important to help align yourself with likeminded or even encouraging people to make your dreams come true.

This is so important in romantic relationships and friendships. Relationships in general take self esteem, respect and honesty/trusting aspects alike. This seems so minute and trivial but it really is one of the top things to look at/for in a guy for a relationship.

Always look forward

Today starts a new day! I have decided to count out 30 days and reevaluate my life at that point with career, friends, love life and family. There has been some crap already this year and I needed a true reset.

Sometimes its ok to just “reset” your life and go from there to gain strength. There is no failing, just restarting. It has nothing to do with it being a New Year but everything to do with keeping my voice and confidence in me. This can be done at anytime in your life. I personally have literally put on my calendar a “countdown” from 30 days. Im excited and ready to see whats in store! Alot can happen in 30 days.

Commitment

There are many people in the world that have a myriad of different emotional issues. Commitment can be a very difficult and sensitive subject. Unfortunately I have dated, and even married, men that end up getting scared or having issues down the line with this topic. This time my now ex-boyfriend decided to pre-emptively breakup with the fear of not wanting to commit later and not ready to move on to the next level. After only a few months he decided to make this decision. I am obviously heartbroken as this decision. There is never a good time to do this, don’t get me wrong, but when you have something important the next day I would think thats a more wrong time. I ended up not getting any sleep that night which caused me to lack in my obligations. So at this point I am heartbroken AND pissed!

I asked him later why it had to be that night and not wait until after my important scheduling. He said he hadn’t even thought about it affecting them and was greatly apologetic. I then also said that most people break up with someone before the holidays like this when they just cant stand being with the person even one more day. He said he wasn’t thinking about that and had intended to wait another week but that’s just what happened when he called that night.

Now I explain all of this to show how a healthy breakup can look like.

He now says he loves me and truly just isn’t ready. Now I have a choice to make. Do I sit and wait and wallow or pick myself up and keep living my life? I take it day by day and eventually there will be enough days to allow me to move on or at least want to move on.
