In the arena of love, very seldom does one get a 50-50 chance of working things out evenly and fairly. They say love is about give and take. Really? So then, how come, others just keep on taking and not giving? It doesn't have to be material things (although, sad to say, both gender now takes advantage of any freebies), but also the emotions involved.
I've seen a lot of women, when they are in love, they lose themselves. Their world revolves around their men, and almost everything they do are dictated by their partners, or they volunteer themselves to be under their spell. Absolutely nothing wrong being "submissive", but when it comes to love and trust, my advice to all women out there: "DON'T GIVE IT ALL! Leave something for yourself." So that when the relationship is over, even if you lose that person, you still have yourself, maybe torn and broken, but not totally crashed and shattered. It'll be easier to pick up the pieces, mend, then move on to recover.
How many times have we heard men and women perished in despair? What a waste of life! And how many times do we make the same mistakes over (and over!)...again? Maybe it's time we love ourselves equally, if not more than anyone else!
