Sometimes in life we are searching so much for love that we miss out on other things. Like
  • "Peace-To bring peace to the Earth, strive to make your own life peaceful.
  • Tranquillity-The peace that comes when energies are in harmony, relationships
  • Happiness-When one's spiritual needs are met by an untroubled inner life. Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.
  • Wisdom-Knowledge, intuition and experience combine to guide us in thought and deed." (Spiritual Wall hanging)
But to have any of those things you need to have
  • "Courage-not the absence of fear of despair but the strength to conjure them."(Spiritual Wall hanging)
At this  point I have been in romantic love twice, but one of the times it was very unhealthy.
This time I am in Tranquility with someone and I personally enjoy it much more, and I can see this thing I am sharing with another person to last a long time. I think people need to remember that it's the overall feelings you have when your around someone and just because you have one word and not the other doesn't mean your should have to leave them.

My personal definition of love is very broad and there for I can love anyone/anything, at anytime or anyplace
  • Love-To be present for someone, be there in the most positive, optimistic, healthy, non judgmental, and kind a way as possible.
In that retrospective I am in Love an Tranquility, with a special person.

Online Dating

Online dating has gotten an bad reputation over the years. I've been doing personal research about online, social, interactions, since age 13. I've been online dating since age 16; on sites from a broad range. From actual dating sites like asiancaucasianturf, Match.com and okcupid, to just social sites like Stickam. The most important thing is finding a site where people are willing to meet up in real life a.k.a RL.

I've had five dates and met up with four different people from online since age 16, three of those people since age 18. I've had people lie, and had people make me feel awkward but every time it was fine because I met them in a public place around lots of people. If you don't meet up with anyone you click with I still say it's worth it because it's never bording; always somthing to learn. But if you do click with someone well... :) do I really need to say!

Recently I decided to get more serious so I asked around and found out okcupid has a lot of locals on it, and so, I checked it out. In no time at all, I received dozens of messages but very few struck me as cool or intriguing. Online dating is all about Meta communication. Most of the time it's not what they say but how they say it, because how they say things, tells you the most crucial thing what they are looking for!

Classic Uninterested


A good profile: Shows your personality, enough about your self to get someone interested and at the same time filters out the people you don't want. No more that four full sentence, paragraphs--no less than two short paragraphs. Remember usually sites have basic Q and A's listed on your profile.
Pictures: You want at least 5 good pictures, one of a close up, one full body, with clothes that represent your style, one with your friends having fun, and one with you doing a favorite Hobie or activity, and the rest whatever you want people to see you as. A picture is worth a thousand words; it also shows people your real.

                                                            Okcupid Profile Example
Some sites offer special features, I like this site because it has tests, and common dating/personality and sex questions. Which can help you narrow out people whose values are super different than yours.
But in general It's best not to be picky, except on things that are extremely important to you like, safety, morals, and sometimes interests.

Dancing down the hill

I decided to walk home, dancing down the hill. It started to rain but I was so in the monument that I couldn't stop. A guy came up to me and said "I congratulate you for dancing; most people would be too embarrassed to do it, your really cool!" then he gave me his number and kissed my hand.

People have more power than they think imaginable. When you are truly happy or in love, if it's permeate or just for the moment, others can feel it, and visa versea if it's negative like anger or hate. Suppressing emotions is usually harmful so just express it when you feel it (unless the enviornment is too in-habitable for the particular emotion). Exude happiness and love, it's really powerful, and can make someones day or change their life!
