love
All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
Open Yourself Up For Love
All of us deep down are searching for our queen or king. But sometimes things can get in the way, stopping us from meeting our person. Those things are you. There is no such thing as being too busy, or you already have kids that will stop you from finding love. Those are just excuses you make for yourself because it goes deeper than that. It's fear, trust issues, lack of self love, or afraid to be heartbroken if things go wrong. Those are the things that stop people from finding true love, thing is, you just have to be brave.

Torn
She stood on her balcony staring out over the ocean, thinking of the sins she'd committed. She knew that she cared for her husband, but she was in love with him. Tonya and Brad had been married for seven years and have three beautiful children together. They met at a park as she was walking her dog lala. he was so handsome and he seemed to love dogs, so she walked over and said hello. He looked at her and smiled. From that day on they were together.

If Love Was Only Enough
I’ve learned the hard way love is never enough to make a relationship last. I use to be naive and honestly believe love was all you needed for a relationship to thrive but the older I got the more relationships that had failed each one teaching me a lesson I won’t ever forget each relationship changing me and my ideas of love stripping my beliefs and values showing me a truth I was to blind to see. I guess that’s why they say love is blind right? You look past someone’s faults at first but eventually there imperfections shine through and some of those imperfections can be deal breakers for some people. All relationships failed ones or lasting ones teach us something the bad ones the good ones they are all lessons learned. I chose to learn from them and move on I let them change me and maybe I shouldn’t of but at least I’m no longer blind. What makes a relationship you see is more then just love it’s trust it’s acceptance it’s stability it’s goals it’s values. In order for a relationship to last you have to trust that person. Now trust is broken all the time in relationships but to me that is one of the most important things to maintain besides love is that persons trust once trust is broken the relationship might as well end there trust is hard to gain back so you see love is not always enough. Acceptance is a part of life but it’s huge in a relationship you have to be willing to accept that persons imperfections and continue to love them through there ugly parts because everybody has those parts no body is perfect so if they are willing to accept you then you have to be willing to accept them a lot of couples argue because they don’t see eye to eye and most couples won’t see eye to eye on everything because they are not the same and people are entitled to there own views you have to be willing to accept that and push forward with them and compromise and find a middle ground and if you can’t do that a relationship won’t last so you see love is not only enough. Stability a big factor for a relationship to work you have to see that person as being able to grow there has to be some sort of financial emotional mental stability on both parts with the same motivation to build the same wants and needs, now im not saying money is everything but it is something a relationship won’t work when someone has no motivation to better themselves it just won’t work so you see love is not always enough. Values are also important I believe you both either have the same values or you don’t talk about your values and beliefs because if your values aren’t the same when someone believes in something you don’t things can get heated real quick so respect goes with that respect the other persons beliefs even if they are different then your own and if it’s that much of a problem don’t talk about it with the person your with if it’s only going to cause a fight respect the other person enough to not push what you believe on to them if they have there own values and beliefs it isn’t right nor fair everyone is there own person and is entitled to there own values, morals, and beliefs respect them accept it and chose to move forward with them or not but you see love won’t ever be all you need, love is a fraction of what makes a relationship last there is so much more then a relationship needs to thrive then just love I’ve learned the hard way but I’ve learned a lot of lessons and I have become a better person and for that I am grateful. Love can change a person relationships can change a person so accept it and move on and learn from it.

A Fools Prayer
Dear God, it's nice talking to you again. I know, it's been a while since we sat down to have a conversation. As one-sided as it can be, I enjoy it... most of the time. Especially when I'm not cussing you out or challenging you to give me a break. Or when I guilt trip you for not giving me enough and putting me through such a predicament since day one. Jeez, it's really been a while huh? Hey, quick question, what type of drugs were You in when You made us?

Masala For Two
I had always been drawn to Indian culture since I was a child. There is something sensual and tactile about all the smells, colors, and sounds I imagined there. New Delhi did not disappoint me, quite the opposite, it opened my heart again after a series of trauma's in my life that left me feeling like I would never fully inhabit my body again.

Wife of a 3 time felon
Growing up as children we see movies that put an image in our heads of what love is. We see princes rescuing a damsel in distress and sweeping her off of her feet then they run off into happily ever after. But as you grow older and your exposed to more of the worlds reality, you see that indeed most of what you’ve seen was a fairytale. In today’s world, loving someone with no infidelity or lies or lack of communication seems like a far away reach. But we were all brought up in such different environments, so this will most likely not apply to everyone. While some women will grow up and marry a childhood friend, or a police officer, maybe a lawyer or school teacher... I found attraction and love in a man most people would label a criminal. My entire life I was growing up in an environment that was surrounded by the gang life, guns and drugs, alcohol, sex. Parties and getting into fights was just another day in my world, this was a normal thing. I was covered in tattoos, my arms, my face and my hands before the age of 20. And as I got older I began to see how others who were different from me, from us.... would look at us or what they would think. And this was the beginning of a new life for me. I told myself, even bough his is all you know you can still do great things and still remember where you car from. I went to school to become a dental assistant. Even with people telling me no one in their right mind would hire a female full of tattoos, but thy were wrong. The appearance of my body did not change th person I was inside. Th professionalism and people skills that I had. And I got a job and have been here for many years. All I was missing was a good man.

Loving a Woman
Loving is Beyond Wanting There are few things greater in a man’s life, than loving a woman. Sure, being in a relationship with a woman comes with its hard times and even its draw backs. However; none of those small hurdles could ever undo the magic and the strength that a man draws from truly loving a woman. When you love her, you want her. You want her every second of every day.
