Social media has complicated things. Instant interest in the form of likes Relationships formed  Relationships destroyed. Bodies once wrapped, waiting to be unwrapped. Now, on full display A competition to see who is hot. You are liked now  Feeds refreshed  Another you Another you. There is nothing special about you. Everyone is looking for love but being led by lust. First steps taken depending on how much dough you've got. Interest maintained depending on how much bills get paid. Body on body Climax achieved. Now, they block and delete The transaction is complete. Love isn't complicated  It's simply not love you seek. Poem by: ©Saccheen Laing Poetry collection is available here: https://a.co/d/8Whx5fG

When you come across someone who has made sacrifices, they have given everything in the name of loving someone and was taken advantage of, don't disturb them unless you plan to finally love them the way they deserve.This individual still finds the will to love simply because they love love and they love to give love despite how they have been treated. When you come across someone who is healing or has healed never disturb the beauty of their soul unless you plan to pour your love into it. This individual has a rare soul that needs to be protected, This individual does't need anyone who is unsure of what part they will play in your life. This individual will give you a love that will leave you with no questions because they know how it feels to question everything. However, this individual will crave daily reassurances because they fear wasting years on a ship that is leading nowhere but to capsizing. If you aren't willing to make an effort and give them the love that they...

 I love to hear the stories of elderly couples of how they fell in love and how they manage to stay in love for many years. It's very encouraging to hear stories that lead you to believe that maybe love is really still out there for you. Where is the love? For young people like myself I believe that ego has played a huge role in breaking down relationships. Everybody wants to be right all the time, everybody wants to look perfect to the world, everybody is looking for a partner that they will look good with. When this happens and then it falls apart they feel as if it's best to give up on love. The truth is it was never love to begin with. Love never failed us it was what we believed to be love. Everybody is in a rush to the altar and we don't take things slowly enough so that we can have long lasting connections. Our calls are quick and we text more than we call, we focus too much on sex and less on intimacy. We have let social media dictate what our relationships s...

So you've met this really nice guy but he lives so far away and you are wondering if it makes sense to start a relationship knowing that distance would be a really big factor. Then there are those of us who have started a relationship but then had things shaken up due to a partner having to move far away. How do you know that this relationship is worth ignoring the distance for? The truth is, you don't ever know this for sure because nothing is sure in life except death of course. So what do you do?  If you see a spark of potential go ahead and take that risk and ignore the miles that are between you and your love or potential love. The hardest part of a long distance relationship is probably the lack of the psychical touch and sadly there is no substitute for this. However, what long distance relationships offer is a chance to test out and strengthen your communication and emotional skills which are far more important in the long run. The most important thing you have rig...
