falling

don't find love, let love find you. that's why it's called falling in love, because you don't force yourself to fall, you just fall.

dating resolution

'The only real resolution is to be the best version of yourself. You can go on 100 Match.com dates, but, as in business, unless you have a quality product to bring to the table, you aren't going to get far in negotiations. So be happy with your place in life, be in good physical shape so that when you do get naked it's a good show, and have friends outside the romantic realm, because you're going to need them if and when you get dumped'.

Happy New Everything!

If there was ever a day for new beginnings, this is it. A fresh year awaits. History of 2008 is ready to be written -- by you.
Now is the day to apply what we have learned from past experience, and to make the world an even brighter place. Now is the time to do something about not just the symptoms, but the fundamental causes of our difficulties.

We have come a long way to get to this day. Let us make the most of it. The sparkling new era in front of us deserves more than just half-hearted new year's resolutions. Now is the time for true and sustained commitment.

The world at this moment is full of wonderful possibilities. Let this truly be a day of great beginnings. Make the commitment to live, to give, to love, to be a positive force. You've tasted the superficial and found it lacking. Now is your opportunity to live with meaning and purpose. Make a real difference and make it a great new year.
