Am I a stupid girl for even dreaming that i could?

Love. Oh how we misuse this word. I don't think that there's one standard definition of love, because it means different things to different people. And thus, I don't think there is such a thing as love. I mean yes, we have a type of "love" towards our family and friends. I'm talking about the type of love that we find for in a potential husband/wife. I'm not too sure that it exists. The notion of love that is glamourized in the movies is something most people would like to experience when it comes to their real life relationships. I used to think that was stupid, childish and just not practical. But now im thinking, we have every right to believe whatever it is we believe in. What we think love should be, how we think our significant others should treat us. We're allowed to have high expectations. We shouldn't have to compromise. Girls should be treated like they're princesses. Guys should do anything to make them happy. Of course that doesn't mean that we should be rude or anything. But I shouldn't lower my expectations for anyone. Because I've tried that and in the end you realize that you don't want that and you're better off. I thought that when I was in love, nothing else would really matter. And that's how it should be. Because you know when you're compromising, you know that it doesn't feel right. Maybe this is a sign that human beings are better off without this emotion labelled "love". I don't know. All i know is that this is not the age...because we are young, heartache to heartache we stand..haha kidding, but yeah we are far too young to make these things called compromises? And apparently you need those in order to survive relationships. So until you find the one person who can make it feel like the movies, you're better off without anyone (:

Impressions

First impressions are undoubtedly very important. I mean, I find myself in a career where I need to go into the classroom with confidence and a glowing attitude or else my students will walk all over me and take advantage. And God only knows that I don’t want to be a doormat again (this ain’t London). I know that in a classroom, it’s not about being aggressive, rather assertive . That is the first impression I want to be able to depict to my students right from the get-go. Because let’s be honest, I still feel like a little girl (thank you petite-ness). Any important situation whether we’re at an interview, at a party or meeting our work team, the first impressions are so important and most of the times spot-on. Of course, you shouldn’t just judge someone on their first impression if it wasn’t the best, give them that benefit of the doubt. One feels more comfortable judging after they get to know someone. I mean, the truth is that you can’t live your life without being judged, t...

Thank you for the lesson

  A long time ago I came across some words of wisdom which explained the importance of forgiveness. At that stage in my life, I was completely anti forgiveness. I still understand why, and though I’d like to say my views on said topic have changed, I’d be slightly lying. I’m very good at blocking things out of my life, that’s how I cope. But every once in a blue moon, you get an unnecessary, by chance reminder. And it kinda takes you to mental head space you had kept far away. A few (many) words that I want to say to my past self; “You knew better. How could you allow it time after time? You wasted your time investing energy and effort into a dead end. Feels dumb doesn’t it? Everything that was said, was said to break you, all excuses, immaturity and white noise. Realize it and understand. Not everyone you meet will have good intentions and true sentiments. Life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apologies you’ve never gotten. Don’t free the criminal from the crime, just f...
