In life there are opportunities that you’ll be faced with, chances in life and love, and the choice on whether you take that chance or not could have a domino effect on other things you do in life for the better or the worst.
I’m not necessarily talking about the obvious opportunities though, opportunities lie everywhere, in every situation and every moment, some with greater detrimental effects than others… But what those effects are, you may not realise until its too late…
But that is the reality of life… that missed opportunity to say “I love you”, that missed opportunity to tell the truth, that missed opportunity to take a chance and reach out for something that could change the way things are, could mean the difference between better or worst…

Over the past few days, I’ve had a lot going through my mind, I see people moving on in life, progressing towards their goals and their dreams, and it made me realize am I really doing enough to reach my goals? There are smarter, more determined people in this world that will be aiming for the same goals I am, so what makes me stand out from the rest? What will make a company take a risk and choose me above the rest? At the moment I can’t even pick that out myself, and that is pretty worrying…
Yet again, it’s not too late to start, I’ve got a year left of university and the remainder of this academic year before I am unleashed on the real world, so maybe it’s time to step up the heat and work towards what, I know if I try hard enough, I can achieve. I’ve always been someone who sets real high goals from himself, but at times I have also lacked the willpower and determination to follow through with it. And I’m determined to change that, I can’t face seeing myself sink into a below par standard.
So what am I going to do? Well first off with one change in determination comes a change in lifestyle, I’ve been meaning for a while to get back on track with fitness, I’ve let myself be too lazy and the only one who has suffered is myself…

So what happens when someone who you are really close to begins to change their minds about the way the way they feel for you? I guess it all depends on the person they are that determines how they react to the change in feelings…
Some of them may take the right root and explain how they feel and to talk it through with you so that you may understand what’s going on in their head, another option for them to take would be just to end the relationship without explaining why… The last option is one that is used normally because they don’t wish to hurt your feelings, and are too worried of your reaction if they were to talk it through with you…
This option believe it or not, is quite commonly the root taken, its a bit like being phased out, when once you would have been worth finding time for, it becomes more common that they are too “busy” to find that time… And if you don’t live near each other the communication between yourselves will being to deteriorate and when they do communicate they will talk to you different or cut the conversation short one way or another…

Hey there again, sorry ONCE AGAIN for the delay in a new post on here, my main computer needed a reformat so I spent a week formatting, installing, configuring etc…
So on with the show as they say… “Love” that well known emotion… But also the most misunderstood of all emotions, it can be the source of all the other emotions, as well as the cure for them… When you are “in” love, everything in the world can seem unbreakable and unblemishable… When you’re “out” of love, things can seem bleak, and tainted…
But I am not here to talk about the effects of love… But more what love is? I guess in a lot of ways that’s a brave question to tackle, and one that I most likely wont be able to answer… Well at least not to a level everyone can accept…

In today’s world, we all live, lives of expectation not only in the goals we set ourselves, but of social standards and ways of thinking…
I guess the main aspect of this is social acceptability, and the attitude and persona you adapt to, just so that you can fit in… Personally I do not believe in changing yourself to suit others, but in today’s age and society there are quite a majority that do…
But the pressures you can put yourselves under in trying to achieve this “acceptability” is quite astonishing at times, and it proves to be the source of depression and in some cases conditions such as bulimia which are know to source closely from the pressures of today’s society.

Before I start once again I have to apologize for the delay in my next post on here, its been a busy weekend. And what great results for the England’s teams in rugby and football hey…
Anyway, on with the topic… Long distance love and relationships… With today’s technologies it has become a lot easier with most of the world connected to the internet in some form or another, communication has become incredibly easier, with instant messaging services which have been round for a while now like MSN Messenger©, Yahoo Instant Messenger©, AOL Instant Messenger© and ICQ©, that was the first step in connecting the world…
On top of that with the new revolution of VoIP (Voice Over IP) services like Skype© allow you to call fellow skype users across the world for Free with quality clearer than that of the average phone call! And for a cheap “Skype Global Rate©” which covers the major countries around the world you can call landlines and mobiles throughout the world for as little as 1.3p a minute…

If like me, you like to understand all you can about your partner so that you may further understand how to care for them when they are down, or in stress… But when, if ever, should you pause to think, that in your venture to find out more about your partner, you could come across a past that maybe you’d be better off not knowing?
You see, we have all made mistakes in the past, some with more an impact than others, and sometimes these mistakes could haunt us for a long time after they are made…
But should your partner know your deepest darkest secrets of your past? I guess it depends on your partner’s commitment, will they be able to look beyond your past demons? Or will it grind at them over time, and the trust they had in you before you said anything may slowly fade away…
