Why Loving a Guy Who Isn’t Good for You Is Like an Addiction

Nobody tries a drug with the intention of becoming addicted. It just happens. It starts out feeling great but then you start to notice the downfalls of the drug.

As good as the drug makes you feel, it also makes you feel horrible. Before you know it, you’re willing to lose everything for the drug just for that high. When the high wears off, you start to feel crappy again and you wish you could stop. But you’re addicted.

Love is like a drug and being in love with someone can give you a high like no other.

You meet a guy who you know is probably not right for you, but there’s something so appealing about him. He’s confident and charming and his pursuit of you makes you feel special in a way you’ve never felt before. So you decide to try things out with him just for the hell of it. He makes you feel good so you figure why not just enjoy the feeling?

You give it a try out of curiosity.

He’s texting and calling you from morning to night. He sees you as often as he can. He’s acting as if there is nothing in the world more important than you. He’s interested in everything you have to say. He shares things with you that seem so intimate and it feels amazing to think he chooses you to share these things with. He’s making you feel so great that you figure you were wrong to think he wasn’t right for you when you first met him. Soon enough you’ve fallen head over heels for the guy you though would just be a temporary fix for you.

He’s all you can think about. He makes you feel so wonderful that all you want to do is talk to him or be with him. You can’t focus on anything else other than him.

If You Let it, True Love Will Tear Down Your Guarded Heart

True Love Can Tear Down Those Walls Around Your Heart

Because you are completely giving all of who you are to someone. And trusting them not to destroy your entire being is one of the most vulnerable things we can do. It is as real as it gets because everything is laid out in the open. No borders, no protection, completely raw.

But how do you respond when all of this is ripped away like a hurricane sweeping through?

Better yet, how do you learn to trust again?

Your heart becomes guarded and it becomes really difficult to feel that anyone is safe to place your whole heart in their hands to love and care for.

When most of what you’ve known is a blind-sided vulnerability, hidden truths, and naive realities the challenge is at an all-time high.

Trusting the wrong one seemed like a breeze, but trusting the right one seems completely nonviable.

Maybe she’s terrified to allow herself to trust again because she’s terrified to lose the only thing that’s gone right.

To The Girl Who Loves Too Hard, Don’t Let Anyone Ever Dull Your Heart

Don’t Let Anyone Dull Your Heart

You’ve been through it all. You have experienced love so deep that you thought it could never die, only to watch it slip through your fingers like sand. You have been beaten down, broken, and left with scars that will never heal. Through it all, you remain strong…positive…and full of love.

You wear your heart on your sleeve.

And why wouldn’t you? Hearts like yours were made to love and be loved. To your surprise, a broken heart still beats. Even after the heartache, when a man full of promises enters your life, you give him everything you can…love him with everything you have.

Protect yourself.

Not all arms are meant to hold you, keep you safe, and treasure you for the gem that you are.

Despite this warning, you’ll want to let him in…and you will.

Never Be With Someone Who Doesn’t Support Your Dreams

Relationships, The Right One

Relationships can be a wonderful source of happiness, but at their best, they should also be a source of inspiration.

When you choose to be with someone, you are choosing to see the beauty within their heart and the beauty of their dreams.

Too often, we choose people who don’t see the vision we have made for ourselves. They think that it’s far fetched or impractical. Or they might simply not understand it or have any desire to try and grasp it. And, if we are around that kind of environment for too long, then it just may make that glimmer of ambition fade out.

The Wrong One

The wrong person will make you feel guilty for pursuing things or may even make you second guess your ability to achieve them. The wrong person will critique your attempts at leaving your comfort zone instead of jumping out of it with you.

The Right One Will Rally With You

But, the right person will rally with you. They will feel the fire within you as you talk about your passions, and they will help you nurture them. And they will do anything in their power to be there beside you as you fight for the things you love.

They will accept you as you are, but make you feel like you have always been capable of being the person you dream of becoming.

Accepting You

They will accept that you may have to devote time and energy to a passion project or a personal goal, and they won’t make you feel guilty about it. They’ll stay truly interested in it because this is exactly what makes you who you are.

If You Fall for Me, I Need You to Be Real with Me And Take Me Seriously

Is There A Dating Rule Book?

I used to think that there was a rule book for dating.

You had to wait a certain number of days before calls or a set number of hours to text back. You had to have it all together or at least appear like you do. I thought you had to say the right things and make all the right moves at the right times.

When it came to dating, I thought that you had to calculate your every move.

You couldn’t be overeager because then you would look needy. You couldn’t be too much of anything right off the bat because it would make you look desperate or unattractive. But, I think that’s a load of crap. All of it.

I refuse to let my love life be dictated by a rule book made to censor my true self in hopes of acceptance.

Because, if I’m going to date you, you need to see the real me. You need to see the awkward, quirky, imperfect mess.

You need to know that if I enjoy your company, I’m going to tell you. I’m not always going to say the right things. I’m not always going to look as put together as that filtered photo you saw of me.
