Heart
The heart can be deceiving. We give in easily to the heart. We let the emotions run through us more quickly than thinking it through. Do you ever feel like you are giving more than you are receiving? Does it feel like sometimes it is a waste of time? If you are don’t feel bad because there are people who wear their heart on their sleeve more than others. We give way too much and are taken for granted. One thing to remember is to remind yourself that you will reap what you sow.

Relationships
I’m not an expert when it comes to being in a relationship. I’ve bounced around as most have, but I haven’t had many. The ones that I have been in have taught me valuable lessons. Lessons that have had to be repeated until I understood what I was doing wrong. As most people, I blame myself for the mistakes made. When in reality a relationship is a two-way street. Lesson learned!

Alcohol (Alcoholism)
Alcohol (Alcoholism) Can you stop? Is it worth it? From personal experience it isn’t. Drinking isn’t worth your life or risking the lives of others. It ruins people’s attitude, personality and has them doing stupid things. I’m just as guilty as everyone else. However, I was able to overcome it. Cut it out of my life which has been the best thing. Things have been changing since I've decided to make a change for a better future for myself and children as should we all. Being aware of what alcohol can do is important. It isn’t something that we should mess around with. Our bodies are precious just like everyday is precious. That is why I wanted to share what alcohol (alcoholism) is. Things to look for, what to do and how you can overcome it too. After the past few years of dealing with someone who suffers from it, I know that this can benefit others. Your life is only a struggle when you allow it to be, but you can be better than letting a silly drink control your life.

Be evenly yoked
We as humans want everything to go our way. We want a relationship when we feel like it. Want to be loved when it is convenient for us. However, we put ourselves into situations that aren't ideal for us. We are to be evenly yoked with our partner. So being unevenly yoked isn't going to make for a great match. Yet we don't see that because our heart wants what it wants and to love who it wants to love.

Dating a narcissist
Everyone says that a relationship is about compromise. Is it really? When dating someone who doesn't even want believe that they are a narcissist, is compromise considered? From experience I can tell you no. You will give up everything, lose everyone and even lose yourself. It will take years to build yourself back up. However, you will be able to do it. As someone who has a brother who is a narcissist and someone who has dated a man who was very controlling, abusive and emotionally recked me, I can assure you that you will get through this. I will explain how you can tell if they are a narcissist, how to avoid them and if you are suffering with one, how to cope to make the relationship work or how to leave them. It won't be an easy road but it is possible. Here we go!
