Cleaned, Healed, and Open

Good evening. I read a quote today that said “If you want to be a part of my future, you must forget my past.” I like this. I think too often we get stuck in the pattern of either comparing people to those from past relationships or trying to maintain current relationships by simply doing the opposite of what we’ve done in the past. Either way you look at it, our past is still dictating our future. We can’t expect others to forget who we once were if we, ourselves, won’t let go. Healed hearts love. Unhealed hearts…well they continue to hurt, and in most cases, they hurt more than just us. Heal. Move forward. Be vulnerable. A great writer once said, “If you’re a fool for Love, you’re no fool at all. Vulnerability is a sign of strength, an absence of fear.”

Good evening. It’s cool to have people around who are fun, but it’s essential to have people even closer of whom you trust. The difference between the two? A whole lot of people, and the beautiful part is that I’m not lacking. Excited to see my best friend today. God knows what we need, when we need it, and who He can trust with it.

Not Quite Bout You

Good evening. If you really think that all you have or possess and have been given is solely for you, then you’ve got it twisted. What good is a cup overflowed? When you pour into others, a key perk is you now have room for others to pour into you.

Basic Principles: No Response Required

Good evening. When you really love and treasure someone, pouring into and giving back to them happens naturally without thought or hidden intent. You can’t explain it and shouldn’t have to. All you know is that it gives you a feeling like no other and that-is-all-good.

Basic Principles: Count Em’ On One Hand

Good afternoon. When you have a couple of people who you can say whatever to and share anything with, you “GOT” something good. Be grateful for them and never allow them a chance to not know it.

Basic Principles: Friends First

Good evening. Boyfriend or best friend, relationships of all types require the same things: trust, love, patience, respect and support. In other words, don’t allow someone in because of where you want the relationship to go. Invite them in because they trust you, they love you, they’re patient with you, they respect you, and are willing and strong enough to support you.

Besides, life will write the ending. We just have to make sure we’re in the same book.

Peace – Kimberly

“Pain happens when you care. You can’t love someone without making yourself open to their problems and their fears.” – Cutty

There is nothing more for me to say.
