The Strange Nature of Time

Time is a strange thing. It can both draw out the most vivid moments from us and blur them, like rain washing away footprints in the sand. But I know that with it, we create memories. And these memories of our small joys, the moments experienced with it, stay in the heart forever. I will remember how he held my hand when I was scared. How we laughed, sitting in the kitchen, sipping tea. These moments are our fortress, our foundation. Time will pass, but the memory of it will always remain with us, as a piece of what we experienced together.

Love is Like Flying

Love is when you don't just live, but soar. When every 'good morning' message makes the day brighter, and every 'good night' wraps you in tenderness. It's when you're no longer afraid of the future because you know there are arms that will always catch you. If you've found such love, hold on to it, nurturing and cherishing it. For true love is a rarity that you want to preserve forever.

Always answer the phone when a loved one calls

In life, you should have one important principle – always answer the phone when a loved one calls. Even if you are upset with them, even if you do not want to talk, and especially if you just want to teach them a lesson. You must definitely pick up the phone and listen to what they want to tell you. Perhaps it will be something truly important. Life is too unpredictable, and who knows if you will ever hear from this person again.

Each Couple is a Unique Universe

Each couple is a unique universe. The way each couple builds their world is an absolutely unique experience, unlike the experiences of other couples, understandable only to them. Therefore, no one else can act as an expert on your relationship and explain what your family should be like. Only you and your partner decide how often to have sex, how to divide household chores, how to manage the budget, when to go to bed, and what to do in your free time. Only you are well-versed in this terrain and can understand where and how to go (however, a good family psychologist can act as a guide in case of difficulties).

Little Things in Everyday Life

Little things... How important they are in everyday life. Nothing can replace the reverent attitude to that which you love so much. And he knows it. He remembers. You see, someone may not notice expensive gifts every day, but nothing compares to a spontaneous celebration when you are sad; flowers to make you smile; pills if you're ill. Little things... It is exactly them that make us so happy! Little things that he remembers. You remember. You all remember.

On Life and Love

Flowers should be for no reason... Happiness should be unique... Home - warm... Weather - it doesn't matter what the weather is! Love should be mutual... A man should be loved, the only one and definitely yours... Erich Maria Remarque.

A Woman's True Desire

In reality, a woman does not want to be strong and brave. She wants to be small, fragile, and weak, hiding behind the broad back of a big, powerful, and fearless man. She does not wish to be overly wise and constantly solve life's issues. She likes to be a girl, listening to every word of a smart and knowledgeable man. She wants to be BEHIND the man, not ahead of him. She wants the man to call her forward, to the stars, towards a dream, and she would obediently and trustingly follow him. A woman needs a man, not a boy. Someone who knows, can, and understands more than she does. Much more. She wants to allow herself to be gentle, compliant, and obedient. A woman dreams of being with such a man, who will give her the luxury of being a Woman.

No One is Perfect

There are no perfect people, and there cannot be; that's nonsense. Everyone is far from perfect in figure, appearance, character, and many other traits. But there are those who make you feel special, and isn't that the main thing – to be perfect for someone even with all your imperfections?

The Biggest Mistake in Relationships

The biggest mistake in relationships is thinking that if someone loves you, they will never leave. In the beginning, when people are just starting to get to know each other, there is respect and tenderness in the relationship. Each person tries not to show their flaws. And then it all fades away. In its place comes selfishness, when a person becomes so relaxed that they no longer watch their words or actions, and take out all their anger, bad mood, and emotions on their loved ones. It seems like, oh well, where are they going to go? Attention, care, and small pleasant things disappear, and it's not surprising that the loved one will soon disappear too. If there is a lack of warmth, we are forced to seek it with other people... don't allow this. Cherish those who are close. Fate provides such people only once.

Care as a Litmus Test of Love

Care is like a litmus test, an indicator of love. A person will not show care if they have no feelings, if they are indifferent to the other person. This is not just about men; women can often be selfish, and only love can make them show care. Appreciate when someone cares for you, even if it doesn’t always seem appropriate. Sincere feelings are scarce in our world.

Not Your Person

Someone still believes that somewhere out there, when they become better, they will meet their person. Why this isn't the case. It's very convenient to think that the person next to you isn't good enough, and it's not about you, but that it's just 'not your person.' If you're unhappy with your current relationship, the issue should be resolved by talking, rather than dreaming of a better version of a partner that doesn't exist. All these thoughts prevent you from understanding the person next to you. It is important to communicate and come to an agreement. We are all different, and this must be considered first and foremost.

Free Your Life from 13 Unnecessary Things

1. Let go of the need to always prove you're right. Among us, there are so many who, even at the risk of ending great relationships, causing pain and creating stress, cannot relax and accept another point of view. It's not worth it. 2. Let go of control. Be willing to give up the need to constantly control everything that happens to you – situations, events, people, etc. Whether it is relatives and friends, colleagues, or strangers on the street – just let them be who they are.

3. Let go of guilt. Free yourself from the need to blame others for what you have or do not have, for what you feel or do not feel. Stop wasting your energy and take full responsibility for your life. 4. Stop the negative self-talk. How many people harm themselves simply because they allow negative thoughts and emotions to run their lives. Do not trust everything your rational, reasonable mind tells you. You are better and capable of more than you actually believe.

5. Free yourself from the constant need to complain about many things - people, situations, events that make you unhappy, sad, and depressed. No one can make you unhappy, no situation can upset you. It's not the situation that causes those feelings in you. 6. Give up criticism. Stop criticizing people who are different from you, and events that don't meet your expectations. We are all different.

7. Let go of the need to impress others. Stop pretending and being someone you are not. Remove the mask, accept, and love your true self. 8. Stop resisting changes. Change is normal; it is necessary for us to move from point A to point B. Change helps improve both our lives and the lives of those around us. 9. Stop labeling. Stop putting labels on people and events that you know little or nothing about or simply do not understand. Gradually open your mind to new things.

10. Let go of the past. We know it's tough, especially when the past is more appealing than the present and the future seems a bit daunting. But you need to accept the fact that the present is all you have. 11. Free yourself from fears. Fear is merely an illusion, it does not exist - you created it. It's all in your mind. Change your inner attitude - and the outer will fall into place. 12. Stop making excuses. Unveil your excuses and send them into retirement. Most often, we limit ourselves due to a multitude of excuses.

13. Stop living life by the expectations of others. Too many people live a life that is not theirs, just to get by. They live their lives according to what others consider best for them, they do what their parents, friends, teachers, government, and society expect from them. They ignore their inner voice, their inner calling. They are so busy fulfilling the expectations of others that they lose control over their own life. They forget what makes them happy, what they really want... and ultimately, they forget about themselves. You have one life. It is happening right here and now. Live it the way you want, listen to your inner voice, and do not let the opinions of others distract you from your path.

Just stop searching for happiness

Just stop searching for happiness, and you will find it. Happiness happens. Maybe that's why people called it happiness: it happens. You can't organize it, you can't work it out, you can't arrange it. Happiness is something beyond your efforts, beyond yourself. Happiness is always with you. Happiness has nothing to do with anything. It is simply an unexpecting, relaxed, effortless state of your being with existence, and it stays with you; it doesn't come and go. It is always there, just like your breath, your heartbeat, the flow of blood in your body. Happiness is always there, but if you start looking for it, you will find unhappiness.

About Kindred Spirits...

Everyone should have someone they can invite over without feeling ashamed about the mess in the apartment. If they call and say they’ll be there in 10 minutes, there’s no need to kick socks under the couch or hide the pile of ironing in the closet. Because you know for sure—they couldn’t care less about your mess. They care so little that they won’t even bat an eye when they step on a Lego or walk barefoot into a spill of compote at the entrance. They'll swing open the door, either frostbitten or sweaty depending on the weather, and say something silly like, 'Peek-a-boo, here I am!' And in their hands, they'll inevitably have a package of remarkably stale cookies from the nearest kiosk.

About kindred souls...

You don't need to meet him at the door, bow and rush with things. He knows exactly where the bathroom is in your apartment and how to get to the kitchen. He will come over, take your hand, pull you away from the stove and sit you at the table, calmly sweeping the crumbs from the table onto the floor. He will go to the sink, take out two mugs, saucers, and spoons, wash them, and place them on the table. Then you will drink tea and dip dry biscuits into it. You might even discover candied gooseberry jam in the attic and eat it straight from the jar. And when he leaves, you won't even remember what you talked about with him. But the mess in the apartment will magically vanish. Now replace the word "apartment" with "soul" and read it again.
