Happily ever after...
Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy pulls your hair he likes you (if he is mean to you, perhaps he has a crush on you)... Someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, Every story book we read encourages us to wait for it !
But sometimes we're so focused on finding love we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell the difference from the ones who really want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave...
So maybe MY happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's ME, on my own, picking up the pieces and starting over, finding freedom to do better for myself in the future.. just... moving on...Maybe a happy ending is this: knowing after all the unreturned love I have given, chances I have taken, all the times I have felt dissapointed, through the mistakes and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment that I never gave up hope...

There is a nice guy somewhere, who would be so proud, if you are his woman.
A boy at school tripped me up once
he would carry my bag home after school every day, I will never forget Ian.. maybe he felt guilty
But all alone is not much fun, eh ?
But I like to dream sometimes... positive thoughts create positive energy, creates positive experiences
And hope... sometimes, a little pain involved..
but it is all good
I have still been most fortunate in life, I remember to be grateful... I have two beautiful, talented and healthy children that make me so proud... I still struggle to believe that I played a role in bringing these lovely two little people into the world
A new friend of mine reckoned that perhaps I had never experienced unconditional love before, I thought about that...
Perhaps he was right...
As long as he doesn't feel the need to persuade me by a clubbing on the head first
So we nurture our current relationships ... and we seek new ones ... and we give our love and receive some back ... and try to find some balance in this...
Hi Tange!
Hopes and dreams have always belonged in the same sentence for me
Never give up...
We share love with our children... with our families... with our pets... with our friends...
And "Hopes and Dreams" ... yes, I should have put quotes around them ... often different than reality ... I think we see this the same way.
But I am a dreamer you see
What makes life worth living is knowing that one day you'll wake up and find the person that makes you happier than anything in the whole world. So don't ever lose hope and give up, everything will turns out okay.
