Q:Hi ate nainspire ako doon sa blog mo na journey as a single mom , parehas kasi tayo single mom din ako at bata din ng mabuntis ako , hehe natuwa lang ako sa kwento mo ate :DD

kielmommy

Hi Kiel. I am so happy to inspire you and I am so sorry for the late reply. I have been very busy chasing my dreams :) More power! 

Never have sex with a man for the wrong reasons. Don’t sleep with
him to try to keep him from losing interest or leaving (it never
works) and don’t use sex as a strategy to get what you want from a
man. In either scenario you are showing complete disrespect for
yourself by treating your body like it is some sort of commodity to
be traded in exchange for love and security. You deserve far better
than that… but you must demand it for yourself before you expect
anyone else will offer it to you.
Page Parker, The Author or Dating without Drama

Goodbye Drama!

Throughout our lives, we’re told a lot of lies about love. 
For example:
 
“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”
“Love is blind.”
 
And my personal pet peeve…
 
“You complete me.” 
 
(As if another human being can actually make an unfulfilled person 
become whole. Ridiculous.) 
 
Whether they come in the form of song lyrics, movie lines, or 
cliche phrases passed down from generation to generation, these 
myths distort our thinking and cause us to develop unrealistic 
expectations of love.
 
And unrealistic expectations is one of the biggest causes of 
dating drama. 
 
Why?
 
Because it sets you up for major disappointment, which prevents you 
from developing - and enjoying - a real, healthy relationship.

Blinding Desire

When a situation is extremely important to us, we have a tendency to go blank on our instincts and to overthink the situation. When there is a powerful emotional component, and when there is something in the situation that we fear as well as something we desire, these things can clog our ability to hear our inner wisdom or understand our gut instincts. That is why when you are talking with friends about their situations you may have excellent instincts and a feeling that you know what is going on and how it will play out. But when you are trying to get a sense of clarity with a romance of your own, you may be inadvertently blocking your core knowing because of fear, desire, and a personal investment in the outcome.

When we deal with romance, sometimes wishful thinking, small resentments, desperation and loneliness, or even a false feeling of worthlessness easily confuse us. This may ignite an urge to try to fool someone into loving us, or cause us to feel like an imposter. Both men and women feel the stakes are high, our feelings are hooked, and it is easy to feel we must captivate and conceal our “flaws” in order to be loved. Of course, these thoughts are illusions, but when we deal with fear and desire, we tend to drift away from that core of brilliant sanity and forget not only what we really want but also who we really are. When we abandon the core self, for whatever reason, we also detach from our intuition and our truth-detector.

If you have been hurt by love (and who hasn’t?), you may search for a partner, but all the while be tracing your scars and probing old wounds. When you meet new people, the matchmaker in your heart may feel a flutter of hope while the district attorney in your mind is ready to indict them for crimes they could never have committed. I know people who strap on their bitterness when they go out to meet someone new, like a western gunslinger buckling his gun belt, and then wait, hand poised over their weapon, for a person to make one false move so they can gun him down. It is understandable that even the most resilient among us is wary and bruised, and that in the search for companionship we alternate between romantic fantasies and flinty-eyed cynicism.

Despite these tendencies to approach the topic of love with divided concerns, your instinct for happiness is still intact, and your ability to know what is real and to do the right thing for yourself is alive and well. The brilliance at your core is always speaking to you through your dreams and your subtle intuitions. If you slow down and listen, you will often find that you already know what is true about a situation and that you already know how you really feel about someone.

With Love, Clara Hart.
