| Alot of time in relationships (friends, family, lovers, etc.) we find ourselves at a point where we feel like we are fighting to love one another. You'll say "left" while the other is screaming "right" and at some point someone has to wave the white flag if the relationship is to be saved. In my case, I'm usually the one with the flag. I take my relationships very seriously with people because I don't have a huge group of people in my life. Lately, it has come to a point where I have to toss the flag aside and stand my ground. This is new and difficult for me but it's something I have to learn to do. I love my peeps very much and will do anything for all of them. But when it comes down to people purposely trying to tear you down, you have to re-think how important the relationship is and if they really deserve to be apart of your life. I'm not a doormat. You don't get to disrespect me and still reap the benefits of having me around. I deserve better and people should know better. |

Independently Romantic
 |
| As we all know, Valentines day is right up the block. Some of us don't really give to shakes of a monkey's nuts about that but I was thinking: Vday is supposed to alllll about love and who said it had to be about "couple" love. I CERTAINLY love myself so Valentines day seems like a great opportunity to demonstrate that. If you are in the single boat (as I have been EVERY valentines day since birth), try romancing yourself. Take yourself to your favorite restaurant, maybe a lil shopping. At least if you go on a date by yourself sex is optional. Just make sure you show yourself some love and don't be down about being single. I haven't had a boyfriend/relationship in 6 years and I don't have any problem with that. I have learned my worth and refuse to settle. I romance myself regularly. It keeps me in the practice of only accepting the best when it comes to dating other people. If you can't love yourself, how you gonna love somebody else? Hows someone gonna love you if you don't love you? |

| We are beautiful in all our unique, individual glory. There are so many commercials, articles, videos, songs, and other outlets designed to encourage us to be unhappy with our outward appearance. These same things can damage us inside. I am here to tell you, FUCK THAT. Yes, we can exercise. Yes, we can wear makeup and hair weaves. But it is much more important to take a look in the mirror and see that what we're looking for is already there. Enhancing your beauty is wonderful but never feed into the belief that you aren't already enough or that you need to be like anyone else to prove to be something you already are..... A gorgeous manifestation of individual, unique beauty. |

| I was looking over some of my old posts and I must be clear.... Alot of the things I choose to post about are from conversations with people about things they're going through as well as some experiences I've had in the past. We are all human and we are not alone in the things we experience. I hope that something I say can help someone that feels the same as I do. If you have a topic you'd like addressed email me at blaizinbrooke@gmail.com |
