Friends Know Best

When I got dumped  my last relationship ended, none of my girlfriends were sad about it.  They were concerned with my own feelings on it, but unanimously they all said that they did not think I was happy enough in it.

Friends always know best.  If your friends do not like your boyfriend/girlfriend, you should not like your boyfriend/girlfriend.  They may kindly let you rationalize and watch the next six months with resignation, but there will be an “I told you so” coming.  Friends always know when a breakup is needed.

If you do not like your partner’s friends, you should not be dating your partner. 

When your parents said that your friends are a reflection of you, they were telling the truth.  

Friends tell all and you should always listen. 

The Spark Theory

The Spark Theory is the idea that something intangible must exist between two people to create something worth nurturing.  

A spark is the feeling you get when you see their number pop up on your phone, as they walk into your house, or when you physically connect. 

There is a journey to falling in love, but a spark is needed to start lighting the path.  Attraction is not borne of a checklist or proximity.  Emotional fulfillment does not come from “winning” someone.  

Married people explain it as “I just knew.” 

Sparks can leave scars but you cannot have the fire/passion/warmth of a relationship without them.
