We are often generous, kind, and caring with other people by spending time, empathizing, and even helping them find solutions to their problems, comforting them when things aren't working out as expected, or during harsh times such as breakups, getting laid-off from work, or simply failing at some basic life event. That's called being a … Continue reading Be your friend

On dating and relationships…
Breaking up is never easy. Neither is trying to get over a relationship that was fun, full of good and fulfilling experiences – one that seemed the ideal for the type of people we once were. Our personalities and love style were so similar, and our ideals and vision for the future were also once … Continue reading On dating and relationships…
Best friends
The term best friends or anything similar is too fragile. People come and go. Some stay longer, some are there when you’re doing well and leave when you’re struggling. Of course these aren’t real best friends or friends at all. Some friends hang with you because they feel good around you, while others need something from … Continue reading Best friends
Say what you mean
I remember back in the days when I’d hold back on thoughts and feelings because I didn’t want to hurt people, especially loved ones. I’d try not to argue, fight back, or express how I truly feel. The more I did this, the worse I felt in relationships — I’d feel I left something hanging, I’d feel … Continue reading Say what you mean
Nadie lo hará
Nadie te querrá como él. Mentira. El que te quiere te querrá así o mejor. A lo mejor no te llenará de sonrisas tan seguidamente, pero te hará sonreir. A lo mejor no te besara tan apasionadamente, pero te besara. A lo mejor no te querrá tan intensamente, pero te querrá. Al final, tú tienes la última … Continue reading Nadie lo hará
My side of the story
So why did that happen? You ask your friend or family about a past event or issue. By which he or she responds, “let me tell you why”… little did you realize that this is only one side of the story and should be, “let me tell you my side of the story” instead. There … Continue reading My side of the story
What is more important?
If you were able to choose between being liked versus being respected, which one would you choose? You can only choose one. I think the more mature we get, the less we pay attention to being liked by everybody around us. We care less because we appreciate more the people who are there for and … Continue reading What is more important?
Ending is beginning
That’s what most people say to comfort themselves (or someone else). How true is this? We suffer with endings and we rarely want this to happen, but truth be told, good and bad things will eventually reach an end. Actually, everything has an end. Friendships, loving relationship, life and work projects, college, travels, honeymoon periods… … Continue reading Ending is beginning
Show it
Wonder why we never say what and how we feel when we do feel everything. At the moment. Often we end up keeping it all for ourselves — emotions, feelings, happiness, sadness, words, actions. All. We can’t let our ego go and emotions flow because it’s too much to demonstrate at once. How about we try it once? Try it … Continue reading Show it
Missing is healthy
How many times have you missed someone? How often does it happen? Who hasn’t missed a loved one? Bet 99% of people on Earth had this feeling at least one in their lifetime. Probably a fact. Missing someone makes you understand your true feelings for this person and the relationship; makes you grow and not … Continue reading Missing is healthy
