Sacrifices

“If I could sacrifice something for you, would you do the same?”

Most people are unfair. They always want what is best for them and do not care what others would feel. Maybe that is why martyrs and heroes were born – to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others.

In the context of a relationship, sacrifices come in different forms. It may be a simple sacrifice of time, money or a major sacrifice such life. Either way, it means giving something up and stepping out of your comfort zone for the person that you love. It sucks but it has to be that way.

It feels good to know that someone is willing to sacrifice something for you. It gives you the feeling that you are being loved to the highest extent. On the other hand, even if this person that sacrificed a lot for you did not ask for anything in return, you just have to be kind and repay it one way or another. Being in a relationship is a two-way process. If you can’t give love and can’t sacrifice something back, then what is the point of continuing the relationship? Ever heard of the phrase, ‘give and take’? Yes. give and take is something that you have to learn especially if you are in a relationship.
That being said, I hope that you guys learn to make simple sacrifices. Start from scratch and try doing it, you will realize that it is not that hard to be a hero or a martyr. Simple sacrifices such as waking up early will do.

Fiction Book

Hello readers,
I am in the process of writing a fiction novel about a guy who had his heart broken by the only woman that he loved for a very long time. The twist happens when he tried to create an image of a woman that would totally love him no matter what happens. He creates a very beautiful woman, understanding, loving and has all the traits every man would ever want right inside his imagination. The woman comes to life in his writings, social networks that he joined, e-mails and SMS messages. However, the woman is just a pigment of his imagination. He is actually the one sending himself e-mail messages.
Do you have any wise ideas on how I should go about with this one? Please send me some of your insights and I will try to compile them as I progress in the novel. I will recognize all the help I can get. Thank you and may you all have a wonderful day.

Second Chances

“Once a cheater, always a cheater”

This saying is pretty blatant and is such a very strong phrase. Though many have proven it to be wrong, there are still people who cheat continuously despite the fact that they have been forgiven so many times. I have a good friend who had a long – time girlfriend who somehow grew tired of their relationship and looked for someone to spice it up a little bit. Their old routine did not work out somehow.

She went her own way but still managed to keep her relationship. She hid this relationship with a new guy for more than 6 months. She went all out with this new guy. They had fun at movies, parks, amusement parks and they even had sex several times. I felt pretty worried for my friend. He did not know that this day could happen. He exposed this relationship through his undeniable grasp of technology. He was hurt. He cried for several days but still managed to accept the woman that he loves. He gave her a second chance. They went steady for the next couple of months but it happened again. Without second thoughts, he gave her another chance.

His story depicts a very sad scenario of a man who is in love. He managed to keep the things that the woman he loved did to him at the back of his head and still followed what his heart felt. If most men act this way, will they get abused? How should men teach the woman that they love a lesson? Should they just leave them behind? What about the love that they feel in their hearts? Should they just let it go?

I was talking to a therapist last time I had the same problem and he told me something that I really did not want to hear. He told me to leave everything behind and start something new. It was something that I did not want to do since I do not want to step out of my comfort zone. But somehow, there are instances that you really have to get out of the box, experience the deep pain and start moving on. In my case, I did not even try to do that. Why? Because I had faith in her. I had faith that she would come to her senses and fulfill every promise that she made. Maybe that is the true essence of second chances – faith.
