Some thoughts to brighten your day..

I'm convinced there is something in the air.. everyone is breaking up with their significant others. SO in order to add a little smile to your day, here are a few of my favorite quotes.



"Maybe our girlfriends are our soul mates, and guys are just people to have fun with."

- Sex and the City



"When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile."

- Unknown



"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain."

- Unknown



"At the end of the day, it's about whether you like yourself enough to face the reality that your romance wasn't working... to face that it wasn't giving you what you needed and deserved."

- Greg Behrendt, It's called a breakup because it's broken



"There's no doubt about it-breakups suck. But in the first few hours or days or weeks that follow, there's one important truth you need to recognize: Some things can't and shouldn't be fixed, especially that loser who dumped you or forced you to dump him. It's over for a reason, and deep down inside you probably know what that reason is. "

As you can see, I get a lot of inspiration from Greg Behrendt. I encourage you to read his two books, It's called a breakup because it's broken-and- He's just not that into you. He will give it to you straight, girls. And sometimes that's all we really want.

Things to ponder..

Hello everyone.. as many of you know, this is my first time "blogging". I've heard a lot about it and thought I'd give it a try. :)



As Valentine's Day, or Single Awareness Day (as I refer to it), has come and gone, I've learned a few things about life and relationships. While card companies like to praise the lovers and couples who once again get ANOTHER holiday to celebrate together, I like to take a moment and celebrate the true heroes of this day: the single girl. So today, I salute you my single friend. YOU-yes you, hot stuff, reading this post- are worth celebrating, and you do not need a man in your life in order to feel complete.



Why in life are we so anxious to find "the one"? Why can't we just take one day at a time, having fun with those people who really love us for who we are- our best friends? I'm sick and tired of feeling like I HAVE to be dating somebody, or I'm undesirable because I don't have a significant other. We're still young! Speaking for myself only, I want to find out who I am as a person, and I want to LOVE that person before I display that heart on a silver platter. I want to be secure about myself before I get my heart shredded into tiny pieces, so that I don't fall apart trying to glue those pieces back together. I know what you're thinking- Stephanie, why do you assume you're going to get your heart broken? My answer for you is that we all get hurt. I've been hurt, I've felt unwanted and undesirable, and I really hate that feeling. I've been in that position where I'm not sure who I am, or if I even like myself. And let me tell you, getting your heart stomped on when you're already down so low, thats the worst feeling of all. Surround yourself with your girlfriends, and stop worrying about being the only single girl in the room.



So, here's to you- my sexy single ladies. Live life fearlessly. Find out who you are, what you want in life, and be fearless when it comes to those things.





"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous." - Carrie Bradshaw
