It’s that period when you’re neither here nor there. The point where you’re not actually sure where the wind is blowing if it is at all? This could be a change in career, a switch on the remote and/or just between a style/look. The in-between is a bit scary but exhilarating for there might be many options to choose from maybe even too many. In-between a period where one step can lead to a whole new path, so choose wisely and enjoy the journey.
Lose the battles win the sanity. Don’t worry about having the last word or even the word before just let go of your fight stance as soon as possible. Say, what you’re going to say and let it drop like a mic it will stick a whole lot longer. There is no way to convince a loved one who is adding from their own calculus so at some point sooner than you like just go to step 101 and find a way to escape this painful reality. Losing the battles not only helps you stay sane but actually helps you to enjoy the other things around you a whole lot more.
FOOTNOTE- Just because you’re willing to give into a battle doesn’t mean one doesn’t state how they feel even if it’s to closed ears.
“The Patient” is your free therapy session and this one is entertaining. The characters are well drawn out to the point you can feel sorry (spoiler alert) for a serial killer just a bit. The storyline keeps you watching episode after episode with cliffhangers that have you holding on. It’s not the type of show that has non-stop action but that is due to the point that it’s basically shot in one main location. “The Patient” is worth your trip to the therapist session.
*** – I added a 1/2 star for the surprising ending.
You’ve made a mistake but I forgive you before the words get out of my mouth. For you could eat a month’s work of homework but with that look how could I truly get mad? If only I had such power over others the world would be mine or at least “sorry” would truly be enough. Yet, without even a word on your end my anger dissipates in the air when I know you’re the culprit.
You just had a fight with your significant other and you didn’t go to bed in peace then wake up with a text. Texting is a way to express your emotions in a safe non-confrontational way. Start out by understanding how they felt and then let the other side know you exist in this equation as well. The most important ingredient is to know when to stop and just let it go. You’ve said your peace now it’s time to have it as well.
For those who haven’t lived happily ever after maybe it’s time for some “space”. This isn’t the type where you need to pack a bag but one where you can have your own emotions. Every couple needs not only “space” to do their own activity but space to get out of their own “funk”. Yes, it’s important to have an empathetic word or two but not enough to drag you down the personal cliffs they need to climb. Help can be on the way but only in bits and pieces that don’t get you stuck in what appears their quicksand. It’s not easy being in a relationship but space is one way to bring it together.
After the “Dobbs” decision I’m the prime target for those young men who want to have it without actually having it. My stock has risen past many of the 20 and 30-year-olds who might just leave the young men with a legacy way past the fun. Cougars can do it all but leave no traces left behind as well as no long-term regrets except when we dump them. The Dobb’s decision is great especially if you’re past the fertile years.
