Passing Me By

It's not me....
It's that girl, this girl, and the girl over there.
Love keeps passing me by.

I pray and make a list.
I have talks with the evangelist....
But Love keeps passing me by.

Stay true to my virtue and values.
Always have hope and don't sing the wedding blues.
Yet Love keeps passing me by.

I see the bells, the rings, and flowers,
The dresses, the cake, and the columns that tower.
Is it me?

No.......

It's not me...
It's the friend, a cousin, a stranger, or ex-lover.
Love keeps passing me by.

Illusions of Love

Relationships come and go. Love lingers and sometimes fades. But it's only after a relationship has ended that we realize the illusions of love. The fantasies that we put into our head to make the relationship work even though our hearts tell us otherwise. The ideas we persuade ourselves to believe in.

Illusions differ from person to person but there is one thing that all who share in these illusions have in common: the perception of these illusions are so real that only outsiders can see the reality. Friends, family, and other loved ones sense the truth and remind us of it, but we can be so deceived by the illusion that we believe no one, only the fantasy.

So let's face the reality. At some point, we've been in an illusion of love.
  • You believed that the person you loved wanted to be with you the way you wanted to be with him/her.
  • You believed the person you loved had changed and was a new person.
  • You believed your man/woman was not cheating on you.
  • You believed the person when he/she said, "I want to be with you" though he/she never asked to be in a relationship.
  • You believed having a child would change the relationship.
  • You believed changing yourself would make him/her love you more.

The list can go on, but it tells us is that illusions of love only serve us FALSE HOPE. It traps us into belittling ourselves and failing to realize our self worth. It prevents us from moving on because the illusion has made us feel safe and comfortable. Because of the false hope and deception it provides, some remain in the illusions of love for years. For the others who find reality, it hurts. It saddens you to know the truth and deepens the scars in your broken heart. But do realize a better day will come. When you find the person who is for you, he/she will fulfill all of your fantasies of how REAL love should and does exist.

The Twilight Debate

Since the first exposure to the Twilight series, women have been faced with the dilemma of choosing a side: "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob." While this may just seem like a movie fad, choosing a side and analyzing why you've chosen that side will tell you a lot about your desires within your love life.

For those not up to speed on these two characters, Edward is very chivarlous. He captivates women with his genuine charm as he professes his love and affection towards his lovely lady any moment he can get. He believes in virtue and bliss. While his rival, Jacob is playful yet masculine. Jacob displays his passionate feelings through words, jealousy, and anger. Let us not forget, he delights in the sex appeal.

We find these characteristics and learn to love some of them, but when discussed, most women automatically side with "Team Edward." So the question is - Why? Why do women pick Edward? Is it because he shows the kind of love we yearn for in a mate? Is he the man we want our spouse to be? Is it because he truly reminds us of the loved one we already have?

And what about the ones who pick Team Jacob. Is Jacob chosen because he's the Mr. Right Now who we want to fulfill every lustful desire with? Are we on his team because of his masculinity? Or is he chosen because some of us have falling so much out of love with love that we don't believe the Edwards exist; therefore, settling for Jacob?

Either way, the choice is yours. You have chosen. Now, you must figure out the reason for your selection and reflect to find an epiphany within your love.

He is...I am...

He is my truth.
He is my love.
He is my everything.

I am his muse.
He is my king.
Eternal bliss....is what this love brings?

The Night Rider

When we hear the words Knight Rider, we are reminded of David Hasselholf in his sleek, black car and the sexy theme music that lingers in your head. Yes, the knight rider. But the night rider I'm talking about this time is quite different. This night rider is part of our intimate true self, the part that comes out at night. It's at night, that we reveal our vulnerablities. Some escape into the worlds of fantasy and hope while others kick back into a world of life achievement. Which night rider world are you living in?

The Mournful Night Rider: This person escapes into the closet of sorrow. Tears flow and cries are made with this night rider. Whether it is over the loss of someone, disappointment, or regret, no one may recognize the solemn side of this person unless it is surfaced to the light.

The Sexual Night Rider: This person gets his/her thrill by letting go of any inhibitions and lives for the pleasurable moment. Now there's a little bit of the Sexual Night Rider in us all. You could be the creeper, the booty-caller, the one who dresses up for the spouse, or the one who has sexual desires but saving it for marriage. Why deny, if you know it is true.

Maybe you fit more with the Clubbing Night Rider. This rider just enjoys letting loose and having a good time. Life is about getting the job done in the day and drinking and dancing at night. Carpe Diem!

Now into the more logical night riders.

The Happy, Safe Night Rider: The person who could hang out at Jillians, watch a movie, or eat at a bar. Anything can be of good fun as long as it is safe, and everyone is enjoying themselves. These are the people that you see in the light who always have something positive to say and are always smiling. Though it may annoy you, you know they keep the world going.

The last night rider is the Family Night Rider. This is the rider that at some point in our lives, we long for if we do not have it. At night, this rider is at home with the family. He/she has had family dinner time, has played a few board games, and has tucked the little ones in. The rest of the night is spent with delightful, quality time with the spouse.

Our lives are entangled with so many things, that at some point we may fit the definition of each night rider. Some of you may fit into other types of night riders. The goal is to know yourself and act according to the person you want to be. It is who we are that attracts a certain type of person. If you don't want to be the Mournful Night Rider who attracts unstable people or part of the Sexual Night Rider who attracts the person who likes friends with benefits, now is the time to make a change.
