Neighborhood Watch

You have to love concerned neighbors. You know the retired kind older ladies who look out for everyone ... a little too much.

We have a few of those in our neighborhood and I love them. We have about one or 2 in every street and they are a tight group. Anytime I need to know something about someone, they have the tea. They are also the ones who manage the neighborhood WhatsApp group, keep everyone updated on developments and manage the HOA (Home Owners Association). That being said, as much as you love them, they can be a little too concerned sometimes. 

Not like in the movies ... at all

We've all watched those romantic movies where the man comes home after a long trip and picks up his wife, hauls her to the bedroom and makes sweet love to her. How many of us have imagined ourselves into one of these situations, where your man has just missed you so much that he forgets everything else once he sees you and just wants to be close to you because he's missed your touch and scent on him.

Love letters

In a time where people just slide into your DM, love letters are something kids have only seen in old movies their parents and grandparents like watching. They will never know the anxiety you feel when you (anonymously) send a letter to your crush. The process of writing it by hand in your best handwriting, or letting your best friend write it because she had pretty penmanship, asking another friend to slip it into his bag or history book and waiting to see if he'd act differently after he's read it is something you can't explain to kids who have never lived without internet and social media.

Size DOES matter

We women love to say that when it comes to men and their package, size does not matter. “It’s the motion in the ocean” (although I can’t believe you would call yourself an ocean, but that’s a different discussion), “You have to know how to use the tool” “It’s the flavor that counts” and whatever more, are many sayings men and women use when it comes to size and wether it matters or not. But let’s be honest, have you ever heard a woman say she is so happy with her man’s small equipment?

Leave, Change or Accept

Relationships are hard work, especially the romantic kind. And being in a relationship where one partner is unfaithful is even harder.
Everyone can agree that it is not nice to think of the possibility that your partner is unfaithful to you.
In his book “the Power of Now”, Eckhart Tolle has a saying that I think is one of the best ways to deal with difficult situations like this. He says: ”When you complain you make yourself a
victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept the situation.”
I will give my view of this saying in the case of relationships where one partner is unfaithful.

Wrong house

No one loves an afternoon delight more than me. Having a fun guest over on a rainy Sunday afternoon, have a warm cup of coffee under the covers while you recover from some much needed exercising, is a good way you waste the weekend away. That was exactly what I had in mind and what exactly did not happen.

Nosy neighbors

Having your own living space has it’s perks. Having your own living space with nosy neighbors is a whole different story.
