Social Miscues

We have discussed this before - but you get out of life what you put into it. Want something good to happen? Put positivity and trust out into the world. Keep your energy on the positive wave, watch your body language - then keep living life. Good things will happen.  Same goes for relationships (romantic or otherwise). If you want it to work, it's gotta be a two way street. You have to put in the work you want to receive back. If it does not come back to you - cut it loose. Let it go. Move on. This includes but is not limited to new relationship ventures (see online dating post before this one), friendships (regardless of length of time), and family members. It takes 3 seconds to send a text, a few minutes to pick up the phone and call someone.  Instead, most people post their every breath, every move, every second on social media. And for what?

People can project their sorrows and demons, and mask it as strength. Which is why this conversation is so important. Which brings me to my next point.  Everyone in this world is different - the way they dress, the way they live their life, the way they think about the world around them - is different than the way you or I think about things.  ...
