One of the best things about being in a healthy relationship is that you’re able to truly depend on the other person. You know that no matter what happens in your life, they will be able to become the rock you need and support you. During my relationship with my boyfriend, I have been laid off…twice. It not only stings to lose your job but your pride and self confidence are severely shaken. During those times, my sweet boyfriend became a huge support system for me. He made sure that I stayed as positive as I could and helped me to realize that everything would turn out okay. He was a great ear when I needed to vent my frustrations and a great shoulder to lean on when I just needed to cry.

Being able to lean on someone is a great perk of a relationship, but you must also be able to be the rock for your partner when they need it as well. Make sure they know they can always come to you when they need it. And it also helps to be strong enough that you’re not constantly relying on your significant other to keep propping you up. My boyfriend is great at supporting me when I need it, but I’m sure he’d grow very weary at the thought of holding me up for forever.

This is also a great quality to have in any friendship, too. Make sure your friends know they can count on you in their times of need.

“The first duty of love is to listen.”

Sometimes it seems as if everyone wants to be heard, but nobody wants to listen. Harness all of the mental power you have, take a deep breath, and lend someone your ears. Whether in love, in family, or in friendship, the best conversation sometimes is the one where you do all of the listening.

It’s a difficult task, but sometimes instead of hearing what people say, listen to them. Along side this, pay attention to their voice, their mannerisms, and their tone; take in the full effect of their message. You can find out a lot about someone by just listening to their story or hearing their perception of the situation. Not only will you get further with them, but you may also see things in a new light.

Don’t be so quick to speak when you can sit back and listen, the results may surprise you. Most importantly, if you love someone or care about them enough, sometimes the best thing you can be is a quiet soul with two great listening ears.

Lets face it; we all have troubles when it comes to any relationship. Good relationships can be hard to come by. But, that should never be a reason why you don’t cater to them. I personally know that when dealing with any relationship you have to cater to it.

Having any type of friendship means you have to treat like it’s your teeth, well not exactly, but a relationship requires upkeep. You always have to keep in mind that nothing is perfect. Yes there are going to be good, bad, and sad times, but this is all apart of building a relationship with anyone. In order to get where you are going there has to be a couple of bumps in the road. The good thing about the bumps in the road is that you learn life long lessons, which is why you should never look at the bad or sad times as negative. Look at them as a time of learning and experience for your future.

Another great thing about these experiences is that you never know whom you can help that had the same problem as you. I can remember like it was yesterday when I lost my best friend. I cant say that it was a day where I was proud, but it was apart of getting older. Losing my best buddy was hard, she was like my only friend. I had known here since I was in the first grade and by the time I got to college we lost each other. It was really dumb and if I could change the way I did things, I would. I must say that if didn’t lose her, some things that have happen in my life wouldn’t have happened that way because I wouldn’t have been faced with those situations. Although it hurt to lose her, I still continued to have friends, but I could never trust the same.Trust is key when building any relationship. Without trust there is nothing. So whenever building a relationship with anyone, 

make sure you can trust him or her. If you ever feel yourself questioning what someone is telling you, that means you have no trust for him or her. I can’t stress how important trust is. Another key thing in any type of relationship is communication. You must learn to have a clear communication with people, that’s the only way to have a healthy relationship.

Over time I have learned the ups and downs to a healthy loving relationship; you have to go through a lot to get be great. So sit back, enjoy the ride, remember that nothing is perfect. Never ever forget to live, love, and laugh; those are the things I live by.

They always say, “never settle for less.” Never be okay with receiving less than you deserve. But how do you know what you deserve? You find yourself in a relationship where he doesn’t remember every little thing. But that’s okay, you tell yourself, because it’s not like you’ll find a guy who does. You don’t feel like the number one thing in his life, but are you ever going to find someone like that? Probably not, you tell yourself. So you take what you can get, because you realize you probably won’t get more than this.

Your heart will disagree though. Every time he forgets to call, your heart will cry out and ask why he forget. Every time he misses an event, your heart will demand to know what’s more important than you. Every time this happens, your heart will fracture a little more until one day you wake up and find you’re holding an unrecognizable pile of shattered pieces which once used to be your heart. You will know when you are receiving less. When you start to doubt and begin to wonder if you’re doing something wrong, then it’s less. When you lie awake at night and dream of something more, then you know it’s less. If you dream of someone else, then he’s definitely less.

So let me tell you one more time. You deserve the best. If you don’t feel a 100% of effort in the relationship, then it’s not what you deserve. Don’t feel the need to stay just because. If you don’t want to be in the relationship, leave. Break up and move on. Learn and look. Look for something better, because you deserve the best and nothing less.

And one day, you will find it and it will be so perfectly amazing. There will be ups and downs, but even at its worse it will be better than those other relationships at their best. So keep looking. Don’t give up.

 Find this in yourself. Not only will it make your life more fruitful and valuable, you will also be adding something priceless to the life of your partner. Don’t settle for less. Passion is not an option.
Sometimes it seems as if everyone wants to be heard, but nobody wants to listen. Harness all of the mental power you have, take a deep breath, and lend someone your ears

Having a relationship that’s also based out of friendship makes your relationship more substantial and less fleeting instead of one based out of infatuation. That’s not to say that “love at first sight” doesn’t exist and can’t develop into a lasting and fruitful relationship, but, in my experience, a foundation based in friendship has enriched and strengthened the love I have for my partner. 

Most of our body’s parts come in pairs, but not the heart.It stands alone, isolated, lonely… content, but waiting.When the time comes, and it will… you will find a match for your heart; the two hearts will create one love

Love does not follow any rules, any restriction.Love is found where it should be, in the hearts of those it chooses.Color, size, and even age has no boundaries. Follow it, give it, receive it, EMBRACE it

Love your self

If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?

This might be a cheesy reference, but it’s all too accurate. It’s almost impossible to be in a relationship if you don’t love yourself. I don’t mean that you should be egotistical about how awesome you are, but you should always strive to take care of yourself and truly accept yourself

Everyone has problems with this at some point or another. We all have flaws and imperfections we wish would go away or neuroses we try to fix with years of therapy. While it’s great to try to constantly push yourself towards something better, you have to take time today to love who you are right in this moment. It can be so difficult when we compare ourselves to others, but remember that no one is perfect. We are all perfect in our imperfections, and as soon as you can embrace your own imperfections, you’ll have a much easier time embracing someone else’s quirks and neuroses.

It can be difficult to try to accept yourself and love everything about you, so try in small ways. This can mean simply taking care of yourself (and your body) by exercising and trying to eat right. Look in the mirror and eliminate the negative talk—pick something you love about yourself and focus on that.

Take time for yourself every day. This is especially difficult if you have many demands for your time and attention, but take some time out to do something you love read a book, take a bath, cook yourself something you love, you name it. If you take care of yourself, you’ll have an easier time taking care of others and a relationship.

Let go of worry, forgive yourself, and trust yourself. Know that there are aspects of yourself you probably can’t change, but try to love those parts of you too because they make up who you are as a whole. The more you love yourself, the more love you can give.

Callar es de sabios.. Amar es de humanos.. Llorar es de valientes.. y perdonar es de humildes
La mayor cobardía de un hombre es despertar el amor de una mujer sin tener la intención de amarla

Si me cansé de esperar, fue porque el tiempo no me curó ninguna herida 
Para qué sufrir pensando en algo que jamás pasara, es mejor seguir adelante porque algun día la vida te lo recompensará
Si dices la verdad, eso será parte de tu pasado. Si mientes... eso será parte de tu futuro.
Ama a la persona que te ama no ames a la que te ilusiona por que la que te ama daria la vida por ti.
¿Por qué es tan dífícil estar con la persona que uno quiere de verdad?
El destino de los hombres está hecho de momentos felices, toda la vida los tiene, pero no de épocas felices

You don't really need someone to complete you. You only need someone to accept you completely.
A girl just needs one guy who would be man enough to prove to her that NOT all men are the same.
Just going to smile like nothing's wrong, talk like everything's perfect, act like it's just a dream and pretend like it's not hurting me.
A man is lucky if he is the first love of a woman, a woman is lucky if she is the last love of the man.
Don't compare yourself with anyone in this world. If you do, you are insulting yourself.
No one can actually say that you deserve someone better because the best person that you deserve is always the person of your choice.

 Sometimes its better not to say anything. Saying how you truly feel might make things worse.
Sometimes we have to run away from the people we love. Not because we want them to realize our worth, but for us to realize our own worth.

I'm a very patient person and I give plenty of second chances, but I am not a perfect, I have my limits.
I am proud of my heart. It's played, burned and broken. But still works.

One of the simplest ways to stay happy; just let go of the things that makes you sad.
I don't wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone.
Good things come to those who wait, better things come to those who try, great things come to those who explore.
Sometimes it's better to be clueless about what's happening around you, than to know every bit of information that would silently kill you.
Once you lose someone, it's never exactly the same person who comes back
i wish I could hurt you the way you hurt me. But I know that if I had the chance, I wouldn't do it.
3 important days in my life: The day I was born, The day you were born, The day when "I" and "you" become "WE"

 Never leave something good to find something better, because once you realize you had the best, the best has found better.

Being nice to someone you dislike doesn't mean you're a fake. It means you are mature enough to tolerate your dislike towards them.

¿De qué le sirve al hombre ganar el mundo si pierde su alma? 
Al final nadie va a recordar cuántas veces caíste, sino las veces que te levantaste
Lo bueno de los años es que curan heridas, lo malo de los besos es que crean adicción
La mayor declaración de amor es la que no se hace; el hombre que siente mucho, habla poco
Las lecciones mas importantes de la vida, son las que normalmente se aprenden de la manera mas dolorosa
Enamorarse es fácil. Permanecer enamorado es un desafío. Dejar ir es lo más difícil. Y seguir adelante es un triunfo

Made a wrong turn Once or twice Dug my way out Blood and fire Bad decisions That’s alright Welcome to my silly life Mistreated, misplaced, missundaztood Miss “no way it’s all good”
It didn’t slow me down Mistaken Always second guessing Underestimated Look, I’m still around…

Pretty, pretty please Don’t you ever, ever feel Like your less than Fuckin’ perfect  Pretty, pretty please If you ever, ever feel Like your nothing You’re fuckin’ perfect to me

You’re so mean When you talk About yourself You are wrong Change the voices In your head Make them like you Instead So complicated Look how big you’ll make it Filled with so much hatred Such a tired game It’s enough I’ve done all i can think of Chased down all my demons see you same

I forgave you for what you did, but I still die a little inside every time I think 

about it.

a single smile can hide a thousands of tears

As long as we have memories, yesterday remains. As long as we have hope, tomorrow waits. As long as we have love, today is beautiful.
Life stops when you stop dreaming, hope ends when you stop believing, love 
ends when you stop caring, friendship ends when you stop sharing
It takes a strong person to pretend everything is alright when its not, & a stronger person to admit its all gone to hell and ask for help.



I've learned the best way 
to prevent your heart from 
getting broken, is to act 
like you don't have one.
No es valiente aquel que no tiene miedo sino el que sabe conquistarlo

When you love someone, you just do. There are no maybes, no 

buts, and no whys.

While you're busy looking for the perfect person, you'll probably miss the imperfect person who could make you perfectly happy

Just remember this. If you don't want me now I don't want you

later.

IN MEDIO STAT VIRTUS

Si no sueñas, nunca encontrarás lo que hay más allá de tus sueños. 


Con el tiempo he aprendido, que los momentos de felicidad no se esperan, debes buscarlos
Ama al que te lo demuestre con hechos, no ames al que sólo te lo dice.
I spent half of my day thinking about you. I spent the other half thinking of how not to think about you.
