FOLLOW YOUR MIND not YOUR HEART


They say "FOLLOW YOUR HEART", because your
heart knows things your mind can't explain.

For me, never separate your mind from your heart when making relationship decisions because the purpose of the mind is to protect your heart.  Or maybe we can say "FOLLOW YOUR MIND not YOUR HEART".  Because your HEART gets a vote, but your mind gets the VETO POWER!

Now, share me your thoughts.



  

EXPRESS YOUR ROSE

Flowers helped us convey our feelings to our partners/love ones.  Through the language of colors of ROSES it interprets the expressions/feelings that we want to carry and convince to someone.

The number of roses had its own meaning too!

TRUE LOVE WAITS.  Do you believe that true love can wait regardless distance and time?  The right time will come to those who believe and have faith.  And have patience to wait for the person to come.  

We all know that there is NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP but there is a COMPATIBLE PARTNERSHIP that goes along with it.  Finding the right person is very hard especially if you set standards.  But is is BEST to be the right person for the one you love and start from here to be a compatible partner.

For me I am not rushing things now.  Just to make this clearer, I came from a married relationship but it doesn't work at all.  My relationship fails not because he is not the right person, it is because we expected too much from our relationship.  And being separated for almost 8 years now, we decided on our own.

Now I am more dependent on what God wants me to do.  You may call it waiting, that every time I wait..I pray.  God knows best and I know somehow he is preparing someone to be called my COMPATIBLE PARTNER in life.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
~Love isn't something you can buy nor beg. It is real and existing. You can’t touch it but you can feel it in your heart. You can’t find it, but it will knock before you when you least expect it to come. It can make you the happiest soul in heaven, but don’t forget that it also can make you the most miserable person in the whole galaxy.~ 



LOVE BLURS YOUR VISION

photo credit: fa73 via photopin cc

Why does LOVE BLURS your VISION?  Is it  just like with the famous quotes we usually hear that "LOVE IS BLIND"?

Try to love somebody that you never met.  Try to fall with someone whose face you haven't seen.  Try kissing for someone whose lips you've never touched. Or hold his/her hands whose fingers you could imagine as yours.  Try making love with someone whom reflections you've seen is so blur, you climb for such imagination that he/she is there beside you.  STUPIDITY isn't it?

Then if you broke up with that someone you've never seen at all...the wound still too deep to imagine. You get the hard time to recover from it.  

How do you move on and get up from the fall?  Well I am there now...I am madly, deeply in love with this guy I haven't seen for a long time.  Sounds crazy? Yes, it is.  I honestly dumb and stupid and I finally realize that I am amazingly having an affair with someone, with no conditions, with no repercussions, with no appearance to indulge with the PAIN I am suffering now. Is this a literal proof that LOVE IS TOTALLY BLIND?  Or am I just LOSING MY VISION here?

Is this the kind of thing you see if you sit in the darkness with open eyes and never thinking what the future brings?  Am I dreaming?  Please wake me up before I drowned in my own dilemma. ~sigh~
     

     

The World Is A Book of Travel

This quote was written by Saint Augustine of Hippo

Photo credit: Goodreads

He was the bishop of Hippo Regius (today this place is called Annaba, Algeria).  He was a Latin philosopher and theologian from the Africa Province of the Roman Empire and is generally considered as one of the greatest Christian thinkers of all times. His writings were very influential in the development of Western Christianity.

According to his contemporary Jerome, Augustine "established anew the ancient Faith." In his early years he was heavily influenced by Manichaeism and afterward by the Neo-Platonism of Plotinus. After his conversion to Christianity and his baptism in 387, Augustine developed his own approach to philosophy and theology, accommodating a variety of methods and different perspectives. He believed that the grace of Christ was indispensable to human freedom, and he framed the concepts of original sin and just war.

When the Western Roman Empire was starting to disintegrate, Augustine developed the concept of the Catholic Church as a spiritual City of God (in a book of the same name), distinct from the material Earthly City. His thoughts profoundly influenced the medieval worldview. Augustine's City of God was closely identified with the Church, the community that worshiped the Trinity.


In the Catholic Church, he is a saint and pre-eminent Doctor of the Church, and the patron of the Augustinians; his memorial is celebrated 28 August, the day of his death. He is the patron saint of brewers, printers, theologians, the alleviation of sore eyes, and a number of cities and dioceses.  

Run Away

Running away doesn't mean you are weak.  Same as TRAVELLING.  People who loves to travel aren't running away from LIFE.

To RUN from LOVE doesn't means you don't love that person.  Just the opposite.

People who tends to break the molds, explore the real meaning of LIFE. We need to be alone just to understand what is going on.
