Hey
I have been blogging on a different site up until the other day. This site is quiet different from the other one. I am feeling like I may look elsewhere because I love reading peoples comments and responding to them. Well as this is not happening here I feel let down. I am reading other peoples blogs and have even commented on some.
Anyway as I have stopped publishing my thoughts on the other site I need somewhere to express myself so for now I will stay here. Hopefully i will see some one take an interest in my Raves.
cheers

Quotable quotes I love.
LOVE Quotes. I just thought I would share some of the quotes about love that I love. To begin with I don't believe every quote is worthy but Socrates said a lot of good stuff.
One word frees us
Of all the weight and pain in life,
That word is Love
~ by Socrates ~
and my personal favourite:
The most precious possession that ever comes
To a man in this world
Is a woman's heart.
~ by Josiah G. Holland ~
I also like the one by W. Somerset Maughan that says "The greatest tragedy in life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love."
Most quotes about love make men the centre of attention. Is this because women free themselves to love again more quickly than men? or Is it because women naturally love and men have to be shook up to realise it??

Just what is love?
One person screams out for love but cannot seem to find it. Yet someone else is offered total love and commitment but rejects it. Another has enough love to share with both the others yet cannot seem to reach either...
Is the love tween a woman and a man different from the love of family members? AND If two people are in partnership do they not consider themselves "family"?. I do not mean sexual feelings. I mean heart felt love that includes Respect, Trust, Loyalty, Compassion, Honour etc etc. The kind of love where one would lay down their life for the other person. Shouldn't this be the same for your man/woman as for your family as they would be considered your "family"?
How do we explain the difference in the love of adopted or our own children? Shouldn't these both be the same?
It hurts the same when you lose a love, so isn't it the same when you gain someone to love or someone who loves you? If this is so, then why do so many reject when love is offered? Accept even if only to the friendship level.
Love is supposed to be internal and we are supposed to find it within ourselves, we should not need validation/approval from others. If we can love ourselves we are capable of giving /receiving either family, lovers and friends.
Life is short and to me...we can never have too much love in our lives.

To grieve or not to grieve
Why do people allow others to take their power and hold on to it for long periods of time?
When you break up with someone it hurts, granted. We grieve for a while and then we are supposed to move on.
How long is long enough? There are many variables. As we are all individuals with different tolerance levels, and each liaison is different, thus, the length of time and depth of hurt vary.
Experts say it should take half of the time we invested into the union. This means half of the time the individual invests not the couple. Sounds all too clinical and mathematical to me.
Shouldn't we just realise it was not meant to be? If the other party hurts you by doing what is morally wrong or by incorrect behaviour on our social judgment scale, this obviously hurts but the longer we hold on to this the longer we delay our healing and the more power we afford the abuser. It all boils down to the fact that the longer we hurt equals the greater power they had over us. Is this then a weakness in our own character?
These people should not be able to command any more attention from you; they have obviously moved on. DO NOT allow this to happen as they do not deserve this recognition day in day out. Do you believe they care or even consider "OH! they might be hurting today. I will give them a call to comfort them". It's time to move on and find someone who will comfort you and care for you, freely, the way you deserve. NO length of time now, will ever prevent you from hurting again. We will all experience some form of rejection in our life... if not from a person, from a job, the bank, our children etc etc.
Life is too short to dwell on this person who betrayed us. Just think, we spend so much time trying to reconcile the why, what and who went wrong; we try to lay blame. There is no answer... it just did not work... it was not meant to be.
You did what you did at the time. You cannot turn back the clock and have a do over. Life is not like that. All the analysing in the world will NOT prevent things from going sour again. We make choices and right or wrong, shit happens.
So, no more arguments, get of your butt and get back into life. As you are now, you are no good to anyone and we need good people out there so we other good people have more potential partners to choose from.

Where life takes us...
I grew up in a small town of 7/8,000 people. There are now about 15,000 people here now. It is a country town that sprung up during the gold rush era in Queensland, Australia. This town has a rich history and is currently mining gold again after many years of no mining. The town is well known for its contribution to education as it holds several boarding schools that support the another local industry...beef cattle. These properties are huge and remote. Some children don't attend a regular school as their only accessibility is to Distance Education or as it has always been know, School of the Air.
I have lived in many places and have moved to these places for various reasons. I have lived in all the eastern States of Australia and have ended up living now in Melbourne.
It is a huge city compared with where I started out. It has so much on offer and its really not as dangerous to live here as people said it would be. Every town I have lived in has had its merits and failings. Life is what you make it, doesn't matter where one lives its what you do with it.
Live life!
cheers
