On Dating

The purpose of dating is to find out what you like and dislike in a person. It is the time for heartbreaks and breakups and people fear these so much that they stay with someone that they think is right for them only because they don’t know what else is out there for them.

But this can lead to mistakes.

It’s easy someone to not know what they want and realize that they had the perfect person for them only once they go out with someone else. But by that time, it’s too late because you already broke their heart.

So basically, dating is about learning. A few people don’t need to learn because they get lucky and end up marrying their first love, but for most, it’s trial and error.

Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.
