That’s the Way Love Goes.

I wanted to know more about you. I wanted to understand you, learn about who you were, and why.

I barely knew you, I had nothing to go off of. I’d heard stories, been given advice and cautionary warnings, but I wanted to know for myself. I felt the itch, I took the risk, and I dove right into your charming ways.

You were more than I could have ever expected, more than what I had hoped for or even wanted. You were no longer a stranger, but someone I couldn’t go a day without talking to, thinking about; all of the sudden, I missed you.

I didn’t want to become one of the girls you had always spoken of and told me about. That was not going to be, me. As badly as I wanted you, I tried not to give in. I told myself it was a lie, that it meant nothing.
I didn’t want to get hurt, I wasn’t going to let you hurt me.

I wasn’t supposed to feel this way about you,
I shouldn’t love you…

…but I do.

Effort.

When you say something, make sure you mean it; stand behind your words and be completely honest with everything you write, speak, shout and cry about.

Do everything you’ve ever dreamed about, and put your heart into it. Own your actions, be about them and execute everything you choose to do with pride.

Make a promises that you plan to keep, that you, yourself, believe in. Once you give that promise to someone, hold yourself to it and make sure it sticks.

Always give hugs full of love and kiss with passion;  share kindness with every ounce of your soul.

A little bit of effort in the right places makes a big difference and it makes the world, a better place. When you live to the fullest, it makes for a better you and a life that’s more enjoyable. Don’t waste another minute and don’t let your actions fall short of their potential. Live life to the extremes and make every moment, worth it.

 

 

 

 

The Girl Behind the Good Looks

She’s got eyes that instantly draw you in; they’re innocently seductive, in their exotic beauty. Her skin seems flawless and her smile – it’s simply gorgeous. In your eyes, she’s perfection… that good looking girl.

Look past her attractive features, and you’ll realize that’s she’s got a soul. She’s got feelings that hurt, emotions that flourish, and a heart that beats with love.
See her for who she is, instead of what she looks like. See that she’s more than an easy sight on the eyes or your choice of arm candy for the evening; she’s more than a ‘name drop’, a notch on your bed post, and a worthwhile brag to all of your guy friends.

The truth is that she really is a good looking girl. It comes naturally to her and she just can’t help it sometimes, but she’s so much more than that and you know it. Acknowledge her for what she’s really worth, instead of what she looks like. You’ll be a better person for it – and if your goal was to get lucky with her, doing this will give you a better shot.
