Not Just A One Night Stand

If I’m going to do this, I’m going to do this right. Take you out to dinner, get to know you. Feel the chills when I kiss you. See fireworks when I make love to you. Hold and comfort you when you are sad. Hug you when you are happy. Relax you when you are tense. Cuddle you when you feel lonely. Calm you when you are angry. Wake up next to you in the morning. Kiss you when I want to. Serenade you because you deserve it. Cherish you because you are precious. Appreciate you because you are amazing. Fight for you because you are worth it. Love you because I can. Plan my future with you because you are all that I want. Marry you because you are the love of my life. Raise a daughter with you. Fight over silly things with you. Take care of you. Do anything for you. Grow old with you. Die for you. Die by you. Most of all, love you. Love you like no other. Love you the way you should be loved. Love you because you deserve all the love in the world. I want it all. Not just a one night stand.

Strategic Positioning

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." -Marilyn Monroe

 

Being in the right place at the right time I believe is all you need.  This is Strategic Positioning. This rule governs my every move. The Pretenders once said “once in a while, two people meet, seemingly for no reason they just pass on the street. Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere, who could explain the thunder and rain but there is something in the air’’. Depending on where you are at a particular time -- your life can change, either for the better or for worse. But we make the best out of what we have. You make do. Life has no rewind button, undo command, delete key. There is no time or chance to change what you have already done. You just have to live with the consequences. In the end, if and when these consequences work out so well for you, you wonder ‘what if I didn’t make that wrong turn at that particular time or crossroad in my life’, would I even be here? Would I have ever known, understood or experienced what I am experiencing right now? Maybe, just maybe what I’m experiencing right now is better than I ever imagined the supposed ‘right’ path would have been. 

So rather than complaining about what you may not have, or what you could have had, think about what you have experienced in this unknown path. Don’t cry over a lost love or a broken heart, because "someday someone will come into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else". If you are still not satisfied with yourself, next time, position yourself correctly, strategically. May it be a restaurant, at work, on the bus, cause who knows who will walk through that door. If you were sitting at a restaurant and your soul mate walks in and you are turning your back towards them, you are going to regret not believe in strategic positioning. After all what you do when the opportunity comes along matters the most. So think strategically, position strategically, live strategically.

Where's Waldo?

People say they want to find themselves. They move cities, move countries and make all sorts of changes to ‘find themselves’.­­ what is it really this fad of ‘finding yourself’, everyone if doing now-a-days? It sounds as impossible as finding Waldo. In my opinion, it is doing those things that you could not do before. Being free of your inhibitions. Free from judgement. Free from a previous life or surrounding. It is freedom. The state of being free. It is not the same thing as peace. You need peace to be free. But having peace does not give you freedom. You may have peace but not the freedom to do what you desire or be who you really are. To me, freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. You are who you are. No matter where you are. You are made up of the people that surround you. You are who you are because of everybody else™. Even though you believe you have ‘found yourself’, it is temporary. You come to this epiphany only because the environment around you has changed, not that you have actually changed. It’s just that you have a better understanding of your likes and dislikes, your wants and needs. You will always be the same person. Always have, always will. But how courageous you are to live your life the way you want to without being affected by your surroundings depend on the support you get from that surrounding.  The moment you go back home or the place you started at, even after you have ‘found yourself’ you are just going to be the same person you were before you went out looking for yourself. Nothing about you changed, only the surrounding environment. So there really is no ‘finding yourself’. You are always going to be the same person you always were.

If you really want to ‘find yourself’, are you ready to be courageous enough to change yourself and be who you are or who you think you are, no matter what your surrounding environment is? Are you ready to live without inhibitions? Are you ready to live? Are you ready to love? Are you ready to be free? Are you ready to be YOU?
