I've experienced receiving hand written letters. Pen pals etc. It would be days before we heard from each other. Once that ended, it was something that I missed.

Love all these posts Avaelle!
We are living in the age of immediate gratification unfortunately and social media just feeds all that stuff..
Many years ago when I was very young I used to get hand written letters posted through the mail from boys who liked me, in between times there was all that time when you didn't have any expectations or thoughts about it because there wasn't any actual way they could be contacting you more....
I used to read a lot of "relationship" books. So did some of my girlfriends...things like "hes just not into you". It took a while for me to realise that this book was just full of slogans designed to sell the book!
We are bombarded everywhere with information about what the perfect scenarios look like and life is rarely like that. We watch celebrities with carefully moulded public images posing and interacting.
It all comes back to going inside, to becoming creators and making our own creation instead of reacting to what we "see" on the outside.
Sometimes I find its good to take a break from social media.
A good meditation leaves me with a feeling of "it is done". Its a discipline!
My ten cents worth..

It seems like at least some of the relationship stress that we have is self generated. We've created the ideals of timing and what is "enough". Things tend to go like this "He was short on the phone today, I'm sad." "He hasn't replied to my texts, It must be over" . "I haven't seen him in a few days, he must have someone else." and so on. Once we have those lingering thoughts, it embeds and we have that negative energy. But, when you think about it - these beliefs have been fairly recently introduced to the dating world.
If we step back and look at things from a wider perspective, some of the longest marriages and relationships(such as grandparents and aunts) - maintained the majority of their duration without having cellphones. When my grandfather would leave to work, my grandmother would not speak to him until he returned home that evening. There weren't any good morning texts etc. How did we get to a point where things like texts, calls etc define relationships?
With social media, it's like walking into a room and knowing what everyone is talking about and even where they are. That stuff isn't natural and has created an unnecessary layer to dating if you ask me. How can we get rid of these ideals? It's worth a thought because some of us drive ourselves nuts

My family was having a discussion about fears. My mom has a ton of what I consider extreme fears or odd things that I wouldn't see happening. During the talk, one of my sister's told my mother not to "speak those things up" because she wouldn't want it to actually happen. That moment stood out to me because my sister isn't into any of this stuff nor is she aware really. But, she has noticed that things have been "spoken up" before. I think observations like that are great because they can serve as a form of confirmation of all that we're learning and talking about.

I started to feel better once I started to look at LOA as a lifestyle and not just a task to do in order to get what I wanted.

Your problems are someone else's dreams. Be grateful.

How very true.

"Everything you are going through is PREPARING you for what you asked for."
Enjoy the process and be patient with it. Don't react in a way that "redefines" what you're asking for.

" No one else is you and THAT is your power"
I've seen that quote twice this week.

Very good post. I also decided to treat myself and take care of myself. I am on a diet and I see the results, I am going to a concert of a pop star I always wanted to see but always postpones, to a play in which there's a Hollywood actor and planning 2 holidays this year one on a beach and the other exploring a country I have never been to and that is not a normal holiday destination... Am having fun with this and a friend told me I am an inspiration.
In the meantime my POI has gone silent again..
Hi AS, what play is that and who is the hollywood actor if you dont mind me asking? I'm a fan of a recent breakout actor who still does plays when he has the time. Sounds like you're in for a treat

Thank you Avaelle for your thoughts. I recently got my hair done after a year of not wanting to. I also love the beach and plan on going there this summer just for me
Some months ago, I decided to stop damaging my hair with harsh chemicals and will be wearing it naturally. My hair stylist and I have been slowly cutting away the damaged parts and letting my hair grow out. It seems like I would be a natural curly haired woman :-) It's an exciting process and I look forward to seeing the natural me and loving the look. A woman's hair is her crown
