“You meet thousands of people and they don’t affect you and then you meet one person that changes your life forever.” – Love and other drugs

I finally got around to watching that movie.  Yup, I rented it at the red box (too convenient).  In case you are wondering, the quote I posted is from the very last spoken line in the movie.

Some people might say, it is only a movie or it doesn’t really happen in real life.  One of my good friends said this.  “Love and other drugs = good movie.  But unrealistic, guys never fall harder for the girl- only in the movies.” -JS

I don’t agree with that statement, but then again I am a lost romantic…

What do you think about the movie, the story in the movie and falling in love? I’d like to hear from you.

Scratch that… I learned firsthand that it doesn’t only happen in the movies.  I’ve had the experience of falling harder for a girl than she does for me.  Let me ask you a question. Have you ever been totally fascinated with someone? Like maybe as you were there, looking into their eyes, and you started to listen CAREFULLY, it was like my voice just seemed to wrap itself around you, and the rest of your environment just disappeared, and your entire world… OK, you get my point; even guys can fall for someone…

 BUT, when the other person doesn’t feel the same…It is a strange feeling when you like someone and they don’t reciprocate the way you feel.  You can feel used, unwanted, and very hurt.

 I’ve learned that there has to be a balance of how much each person likes each other, otherwise one person in the relationship will start to feel overwhelmed and they will go running.  Learn to relax and continue to do, well, you.  Continue with your life, your routine, and include the new person when you can.  I know, I know you meet someone that seems perfect, fits perfectly, and understands you perfectly.  You want to share your life with them, include them in everything, and bam, they go running.

 Listen, we only have so much time on earth, I suggest that you continue to be yourself and people and things will sort themselves out for the best.  If you expect the best and want the best, then through the law of attraction you will only attract the best.

Live Happy and Successful
