Independent

There is so many important keys in achiving to be independent.
One of my favorite is the strong trust you build with yourself.
You see, as you gain your independence you learn to trust yourself again, and as you accomplish this…
You begin to see how beneficial it is to listen to the voices inside yourself to guide you over the berating opinions of others that simply don’t matter.

Milestone

image

Every year is a milestone, around this time last year I was so unhappy with my life and my self.
I couldn’t understand why life took the turns it did, and why I no longer had my best friend by my side. I believed in people who didn’t believe in me, and I got comfortable with discomfort. I lost myself on my road to happiness, and followed the path of destroying myself, for the chance of pleasing others.
I’ve always been a “planner,” almost never missing a deadline of what I set myself out to do. Therefor disappointment is something I don’t take very lightly and when things don’t work out my way, I always end up very mad at myself.

However, every year is a milestone…
and this year has taught me so, so much, I am forever grateful.
Thanks to the past, I am off my fairytale horse and I’ve never felt more satasfied, alive, and happy🌻

Communication in a Relationship

How do you better communication in a relationship?

The thing is we are all different. No two people are the same and if we do find someone with a lot in common, we get turned off anyway, or they become our Best Friends.

So, because of this we all evaluate our affections, believes, costs and rewards differently.
I know what you’re thinking…
“Then how will we ever get along?”

Well its simple, but it takes practice.
You want to MIRROR your partner…
How so?
You want to understand that if you have chosen this person to have a committed relationship with then you want to mirror their way of dealing and seeing their affections, believes, costs, and rewards.
You don’t have to “change” your own ways, you have to “mirror” as in…
ACCEPT
AND
RESPECT
If you mirror your partner, and try to understand their true way of being, then that’s where the communication improves.
How so?
Well, you are no longer clashing against them which means you are growing with them,
hand in hand,
like a real TEAM.
