Emotions

It’s okay to be nervous about speaking your mind, but do not hold back on saying what you are thinking or feeling by mistaking it to being too sensitive or emotional.

Especially if it’s a relationship or has to do with a person you care about tons; the other person should thank you and respect what you’re feeling. I guess I’m bringing this up because I just got out of my Community Conflict Resolution class and talked about mediation and how hearing each other out when in a conflict is super important EVEN IF you don’t think the conflict is a big deal. When someone fully opens up to you, they are selling a little bit of their soul to you because they confide in you and trust that you will appreciate them speaking their mind on what or how they are feeling. Being too emotional or sensitive is usually looked down upon because people think it is a sign of being weak, but if you truly care for someone or about a relationship then why the hell not be completely honest with them? A relationship between two people is never going to be perfect (trust and believe that now if you think otherwise) and that’s the beauty of it. There is such beauty in solving small or big conflicts and moving along with life because it shows how much love and care is put into the relationship by the two people (or a group of people). Showing emotion is a sign of strength because you are letting another individual (or group of people) into your heart and brain and it is not always easy to do so. If the other person thinks you are weak for being too sensitive or emotional, than that person doesn’t deserve all of your time, etc.

So own it. Own being outspoken and honest about how you feel when it comes to your loved ones or a special relationship with someone. Love fully or don’t love at all is how I look at it. This ties back to my other post “Love so Hard” in the sense of fully loving my significant other and how the little things mean the most to me. I can honestly say that I am a victim of “having a big heart” and sharing my thoughts and feelings with him because I would not be able to hold something back from him. He knows that I care and if you’re reading this right now Jake, I love you more than life xo

Happy Thoughts to all you readers 🙂

Love so hard

I realized that I love so hard.

I love to make my significant other feel like he is special in every possible way (he is, btw).

I love being open and honest with him too. After all, keeping secrets from each other or not sharing your thoughts is not healthy even if it hurts to hear it.

That’s the beauty of love… being able to open 100% knowing that your lover will still be there for you regardless.

Also, being silly and not giving two shits about it because you already know that you feel comfortable enough to share your weirdness with each other. A relationship without humor has got to be SO boring and dull.

I love to surprise him with random yet meaningful text messages or random gifts because I can’t help, but to think of him when I see something at a store that reminds me of him.

I love staying up late with him even if I know I’m going to have a long day the next day. Every second spent with him is bliss.

I love calling him to see how is day was or call him as I walk to my car at night because just his voice makes me feel safe and secure.

I love spending time with his family and when he spends time with my family because I feel a sense of unity between the two.

I love looking at him when he doesn’t know I am to simply admire how handsome he is to me.

I love everything about him and that’s what makes me love so hard because even when times are tough, we both find a way to move on and grow from it and just keep loving each other the same way we always have, if not more.
