10 Things to Know about Love

 

Recently, I came upon a book entitled “Prudent Advice” by Jaime Morrison Curtis. It’s a small hardcover filled with 500 nuggets of advice from a mother to her infant daughter. I thought my nieces would benefit from the wisdom housed in its pages. Turns out, I might have needed it more than them. Here are my favourite pearls of wisdom about love:

1.  Anything you chase after runs.

 

2.  Your future together is not a great subject to discuss on a first date.

3.  If you wait to be swept off your feet, you may end up standing alone.

We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.

 

4.  If you are questioning whether someone loves you or not, the answer is right in front of you.
When it comes to people who are romantically interested in you, it's really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do.

5.  If you marry your first love you will miss out on the exquisite pain of a broken heart.   (Nothing personal baby, just quoting a book!)

 

6.  You should want to be with someone who wants to be with you. 


7.  You can’t strong-arm someone into loving you if they don’t.  Learn to respect yourself enough to move on.

8.  Marriage is a big decision- one that you should make for yourself.
You may want to marry a boy, or you may want to marry a girl, or you may not want to get married at all, or you may get married five times. That should be entirely up to you. Hopefully, when you are considering marriage, the idea that anyone does not have a right to it will seem absurd.

9.  You only need to call once and leave one message.

10.  People can change, but YOU can't change them.

     Ain’t that the truth!
