In a Relationship

I'm still not sure of myself when I dove into this new relationship.

I just want to say that I found everything I wanted in a relationship in this one guy.

He makes me feel special, but he also keeps my feet on the ground by his honesty.

On the second day of our relationship, he already introduced me to his family, saying that's how serious he is with me.

Let's see where this one goes. =))

Apollo Syndrome

I just heard about this "Apollo Syndrome" and it's really interesting. It's described as "a phenomenon discovered by Dr Meredith Belbin where teams of highly capable individuals can, collectively, perform badly."

"What is Letting Go?"

To "let go" does not mean to stop caring. It means I can't do it for someone else.

To "let go" is not to cut myself off. It's the realization that I can't control another.

To "let go" is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.

To "let go" is not to try to change or blame another. It's to make the most of myself.

To "let go" is not to care for, but to care about.

To "let go" is not to fix, but to be supportive.

To "let go" is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.

To "let go" is not to be in the middle, arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their own destinies.

To "let go" is not to deny, but to accept.

To "let go" is not to nag, scold, or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.

To "let go" is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.

To "let go" is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.

To "let go" is to fear less and to love more.

Leverage

I just started this new series called Leverage. These are good guys turned bad guys turned good guys that got together and found a mission.

Their mission is to get revenge, give justice, and give money back to those who need them.

It's actually kind of interesting at first. But, when you really think about it, they live on a crooked principle.

They take law and justice in their own hands, and they break into several systems, because they are very good with that.

They use lies and deception, sometimes violence, to get what they want.

But, it's interesting, really, and very entertaining.

I think what I like about the series is that these people found their passion and they used their talents for what they believe is good and right, without being too selfish.

New Chapter

I don't know if it's too soon
I don't know if it's just the holiday blues
But I know I don't want to have my heart broken again
I know that I will put myself first

I am afraid to trust again
I am afraid that my family will feel my pain
But I will more brave
I will be stronger

I don't know what the future holds
But I know that I am in control of my present

There's a lot of things I don't know and a lot of things I'm afraid of...
But one thing I am sure of, I want to live my life and I want to be better than before.

Some thoughts...

Sometimes, you reach a point in life when you think about what really matters to you...like is being complacent bad? up to how high is high?
A lot of people believe that if you want something really bad, then the universe will conspire to give it to you. What if you don't want anything at all?
What fun is it wanting something something to happen, only to get tired of it after getting it?
There is also a saying that goes, "be careful what you wish for, you might get it..."

I know someone whose parents were millionaires, but gave up all their wealth, even their children to a religious church bordering on being a "cult".

I somehow understand them. Simplicity in life, means unloading all burdens, responsibility and even happiness.

But, still, when you commit to marriage, you commit to having children. The children are their parents' responsibility.

I know I want to raise my own children in the future. They are a source of responsibility but also a source of happiness. I think that having children will make you selfless and you would be more passionate about life, work, health and money because you want to provide for them.

I was a child, but I have not yet experienced being a mother. I guess when that time comes, it would force me to grow up.

For now, I'll enjoy everything that's happening to my life now. I know there's that biological clock for women, but it's not my time yet.
