Summer Loving
Ahhh the sun .. the sand .. the clear blue skies … on to the next romance .. oh summer loving …
Seriously, as you shed those pounds and cellulite around your thighs, have you been thinking that maybe, this summer season, your life should be happier, brighter and oh-so-alive. Relationship still stuck in dreary winterland? Heading for splitsville … contemplating on how to [finally!] dump the soon-to-be-future-ex.
Hey it may be hard, not to mention embarrassing to be dumped but don you think dump-ees have it better? Everyone commiserates with them and the dump-er gets the flak. Bad guy. Bad girl. I’m the girl all the bad guys want … err, wrong song.
Anyway, if you think you’re ready to move on from your not-so-perfect relationship, here are pointers to convince yourself [to do the dirty or hang on]:
- The “it’s not you, it’s me” - so you open up with “It’s not you, it’s me“. Guess what, maybe it is. Specifically, maybe it’s not even you but major changes happening in your life that turns your life upside down, inside out, going through the wringer events that collectively thrashing everything in your life will make things better. Are you pretty sure you’re throwing out the right baggage?
- The Story Of Us -Have you watched that movie [of the same title] starring Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer? It tells the story of a typical relationship –> you start out with so much passion that slowly fizzles out as more and more “reality” sets in [kids, mortgages, car loans, credit cards, grocery shopping ...] and before you know it, your partner is a stranger. So ask yourself, is this stranger worth getting to know all over? Am I happy with my family life more than half of the time? Be realistic, a charmed life belongs to fairy land and TV. If you can’t stand your partner’s habit of skipping bath for days but falls over every time they bring you home a piece of candy [because they could only find a quarter and the store only takes cash] then weigh which one matters more.
- Abusive Relationship - It comes in many forms. Verbal, physical, emotional, psychological. If you are in an abusive relationship. RUN LOLA RUN!! Nothing justifies an abusive relationship. He or she won’t get better. Your relationship won’t either.
A lot of us undergo seemingly more hardships than other couples we know or see. It maybe financial or emotional. You might be a cheerleeder-slash-party girl back in the days and you’re now relegated to washing dirty baby butts and watching Wheel of Fortune and Oprah, fret not. The easier part is changing yourself [others say it's the hardest] because you have absolute control over you.
So, girlfriend, are you ready to rewrite your story?
