Note to Self: Wake up and smell the roses.

A string of bad love, but don't give up. One good heart could change your luck.
- John & Audrey Wiggins


"Hold my hand while you cut me down" seems to be the motto of all too many relationships these days. Some people have the tendency to go from one bad romance to the next and unfortunately, when we confront them about it, our words go in one ear and out the other.

If you have ever tried to intervene in a bad relationship and couldn't get your point across, you are not alone! Relationship advice is hard to give because love is blind, hope is dark and people are oblivious to the red flags of their failing relationships.

It is typical for two people to stay in a dysfunctional relationship because of a great past and there is a slim to none chance that they will ever listen to your advice, even if they know their relationship is unhealthy. One day they will wake up and smell the roses, but until then, don't get discouraged. Just worry about yourself and ensure that you are not headed down the same path.

Advice is easier to take when you ask for it. So, if someone asked me if they should you give up on love or die trying? My advice would be to know when it is time to leave. Never hold on to something you know you would be better off letting go of.



Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak. 
Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go.

  1. The way I see it, if you have to question your relationship, maybe it is time to move on.. because if it is a relationship that is going to work in the end, there should be no question about it.
