When I first thought about this I immediately started to go through all my ex-boyfriends and their best traits. But then I came back to reality and started to think about who actually has my heart and came to two groups; 1 - my family and 2 - my best friends. Which made me start to think about why they have my heart, and for those reasons, are they the same for my partner to win my heart (and why or why not?).
To me it made sense that they should be the same. For one, when I marry the man I love, he will automatically become my family - and doesn't everyone say you should marry your best friend? So I decided to look at my family and best friends to determine how to win my heart - and going forward will look for these in the boys/guys/men that I date in the future.
Ways to win my heart:
1. Please be there for me in a time of need. Comfort me when I am sad, help me when I am in trouble, and protect me when I am scared.
2. Spend quality time with me - talk with me about anything and everything and discuss crazy ideas and dreams without judgment
3. Make me laugh (and hopefully I will make you laugh)
4. ALWAYS be honest with me - even if it is brutal
5. Have the desire to continually challenge what you do, how you do it and why you do it - Challenge me as well and I will challenge you so that we can grow together.
Day 2: Something you feel strongly about (17 June 2011)
No regrets!
I can honestly say that at this point in my life I have no regrets - which does get me into trouble on a few occasions - but I wouldn't change it for anything.
I started feeling strongly about this after Columbine. Seeing and knowing your classmates are no longer living at the age of 16 is very scary. It was then I decided to live life to the fullest and to have no regrets at any point in time. Because life is a gamble and you never know when your time is up - and when mine is, I want to be able to say that I have done what I can and told everyone how much they mean to me.
Sure I've done things I wish I wouldn't have, and in those cases I try and make it right afterward (once I realise that what I said/did was not right). I will always apologise to someone (even if it takes a few years), admit my mistakes and try to make things right. And once I have done everything I can - I let it go.
I've had some great times and adventures that I probably would not have experienced if I didn't feel strongly about having no regrets - so far in life it has definitely worked for me.
