Turn on the Romance!

I've noticed there is a lack of romance in this world. And it seems strange to me. Think about it for a moment... Imagine how you would like to be approached by someone who is interested in you. Picture, for just a moment, your knight in shining armor. What would he do when you first met him? Perhaps he'd present himself chivalrously and offer you a bouquet. Would he confidently ask you for your company in a walk through the park? Would he take you out to a candle lit dinner at your favorite restaurant? Would he curl up with you in front of the TV after bringing you a glass of wine?

Almost everyone would be knocked off their feet by things like this. We can each think of a thousand little romantic things that a person could do to sweep us off our feet. Yet... how often do we do such things? We all know we'd like them, but we're afraid to actually do them! If we can imagine how someone could be romantic to us, then what stops us from being romantic toward someone we'd like to impress and express our interest in?

Perhaps its just me... Being a bird-ish creature, we have to show off ourselves and impress someone we're interested in. I'd just like to say, don't be afraid of doing the same thing yourself. When you see that person you'd really like to spend more time with, turn on the romance! There's no reason not to. Don't be embarrassed to try and sweep someone off their feet. Go for it! Do for them what would sweep you off YOUR feet. The worse they can do is say no, and if you don't show a little romance, they'll probably say no anyway!

I say this because I feel there really should be more romance in the world, it makes everything a lot sweeter ....
...and because I'm still waiting for someone to sweep me off MY feet ;)

Life's Lessons

A whirlwind of emotions. Quiet though. Its been very quiet. Its just been within, and that's how it should be. I have learned some life lessons from two very interesting events. For some time, I have believed learning the hard way is the surer way. It's tough yes, because the stakes might be too high. But I have come to a realization that having to deal with the toughest of situations alone is good for me, because it only toughens me up. And its really upto the wiser discretion, to learn from the situation. Quoting my brother " you have to keep your head above the water. by yourself. that is the only way to love and respect yourself through life. "

Thank you , all friends, and the not so friendly folks, people I've never really known or met , for coming across, and giving me the little lessons, inspiring me without knowing, for without them , I would have felt a sense of waste. This day certainly seems more fruitful, when I look back plainly at the things done and days gone by.

I've learnt to respect and cherish the little things I possess , I've become gladly aware of my relationships, and begun to acknowledge the default love for the ones that have been there forever more than I ever did before.

Choosing, is very very important. And listening to the gut feeling, indispensable. And respecting it, means respecting myself. The biggest lesson learnt.
