Love. When it's real you'll know. No questions asked, no answers needed.

Ladies, let me clue you in on a little secret...Men are not dolls and they don't need us to take care of them. The one's that do aren't the ones you should want or need. Leave the "fixer-uppers" to Home Depot!

I don't need a man to take care of me. I want a man who wants to take care me. Can I make my own chicken soup when I'm sick?...or at least order my own from the nearest take-out restaurant? Yes. But having a guy bring you soup, who genuinely cares about your well being, just does something special to your insides. It could be the crappiest bowl of Cup of Noodle, microwaved until it's barely inedible, and you swear it's the best thing to hit your taste buds, simply because he put in the effort.

When you do find love--real love, it's the most wonderful, awful feeling in the world. There's nothing like it. Love can make you feel invincible and vulnerable all at the same time. You're trusting someone with the most precious part of you...your heart

Don't you ever wonder why we say we're giving someone our heart and not our liver or some other organ in our body? We say we're giving that person our heart, because our heart is at our center. Our heart is the part of us that gives the rest of us life. So when you give your heart away, in essence you're telling that person that they are now at the very center of your life.

A lot of people say a relationship takes work. I believe that's true to an extent, because it does take effort to sustain a relationship, and a certain level of commitment, but it shouldn't feel like heavy, slave labor either. When there's more blood, sweat and tears than smiles, laughter and happiness; there's a problem.
