Spread The Love Wednesday

Even though I am surrounded by SO MUCH love from friends and family, I sometimes have a hard time finding that love for myself.

When I find myself at a crossroads in my romantic life - not knowing whether to keep going or to let go, I am reminded of the words from one of my favorite girls...

MARILYN MONROE

She always reminds me to love myself and to not let anyone love me less than that.  She reminds me that even when I think everything is great, there may just be something EVEN BETTER waiting for me around the corner.

So I made up my mind over the past couple of days, as some people just removed themselves from me... I'm going to go on loving ME because I DESERVE IT.

"A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left."

"I am good, but not an angel.  I do sin, but I am not the devil. 

I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love."

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius,

and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."

"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world."

"This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."

...well said, huh?

peace and love
