"One reason your dog is such a comfort when you are feeling blue is

because they do not try to find out why"

I'll hold your hand*

I have always felt that friendship should be a huge part of your life and that you should keep your friends close. Friends are there to have fun with, to hold you up when you are more than a little intoxicated and to make you laugh until you cry but I have recently realised that friends, more importantly, are there for support in dark times. I have had my fair share of good and bad friends in my life and I feel honoured to have the ones in my life who have decided I am worth the time and effort ♡

♡♡♡

I have recently seen how important friendship can be to someone when they have little else to smile about. When a friend looses someone they love-this is the time they need their friends, and family, the most! Even though it breaks my heart to see my friend in so much pain it gives me great peace to know that I, and my other friends, can be there for our friend when she needs us most♡

Go out of your way to show your support. Its easy to be there from a distance in order to keep yourself from feeling the pain but it takes a true friend to be there every step*

Flowers and cards are great...but a hug or a shared tear are priceless to someone in need!♡♡

Love lost ♡ ♡

I recently watched Something Borrowed, a romantic comedy, and LOVED it!!* However, it really got me thinking. Is it ever acceptable for one of your friends to act on feelings they might have for your boyfriend or girlfriend? I feel that the answer is actually quite obvious but I will reserve my judgement so you can make up your own mind about it :)

I believe that if you were to find your self in a situation where you "fell in love" with your friends' boyfriend or girlfriend you would have to decide whether friendship or the dreaded four letter word, L.O.V.E was more important to you. I have never seen a situation where the 3 parties involved in the love triangle all end up living happily ever after, because, lets be honest, no one likes to loose someone they love, nevermind to their best friend

The movie, Something Borrowed, is about exactly this situation and it really makes you consider what you would do if you found yourself on the brink of loosing a friend because of love. But I feel that it would be totally the choice and jusdgement of the "other" person on what to do-break your best friends heart in the name of love or find a way to push the feelings aside to save a sacride friendship ♡♡♡

The hardest words ♡♡

Why is it so often the case that the most important things to say are also the hardest to say? Even when we know what needs to be said to right a situation or show someone how we feel, we dont manage to make the words come out right. Lets be honest, no one wants to admit they were wrong or put themselves on the line to let someone know how they feel...so what prevents us? For me, and many others, it would be fear!

For some saying "I love you" comes easy and for others saying those 3 "little" words is the hardest thing to admit. In my experience I have seen way too many people using these very powerful words after being with someone after mere weeks & other people never actually manage to muster up the courage to say it at all! I think the fear comes from being rejected or being told the other person does not feel the same, thus it is easier to pretend that the feelings never existed.

I believe that life is too short to keep your feelings to yourself, it is too short to pretend that you dont want someone to love you just as much as you love them & too short to sit back and watch the person you love, love someone else...all because you didnt have the courage to take the leap!!♡♡

Even when we know that what we did or said was wrong we often find it so hard to say "I'm sorry" because, lets be honest, no one likes to admit they were wrong or that they messed up. The sad fact is that sometimes if we do not say those two little words it can change our life forever. No one likes to admit that they were wrong but saying you are sorry could save you a lifetime of regret!
The fear, for me, comes into play when you realise that saying sorry might not fix anything at all and all that will come of it is you feeling very small and left standing with minimal pride.

But I have learnt that you will never regret saying sorry even if it does not fix anything but what you will regret, for the rest of your life, is not saying anything at all and letting someone walk out of your life*

♡♡"Life is short...break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably & never regret anything that once made you smile"♡♡
