Life can be hard sometimes, and it can even get crazy. The time that we have that is free is often short, but our work is long and hectic. We have to work to pay bills and be able to survive and sometimes this means driving far to the workplace and trying to not get distracted by things such as social media.
All of these tings can make us feel that we are on the fast track to nowhere. Chances are that you will spend time on Facebook or other social media and then you will not even realize the week went by so fast. If you want to live a happy life, you need to learn to slow down and to appreciate things around you, what you have, your experiences and the people in your life.
This is a definite thing if you are in a relationship or if you are on the dating scene. You have to learn to be with someone that you are not always distracted with and someone that you can give attention to. Someone that you are dating deserves to have your attention and if you are unable to give it to them, you will make them feel unwanted or underappreciated.
You cannot take people in your life for granted and if you want to have a good relationship, here are some things you can do:
Being Loyal and Honest
You should always be honest and if you are with someone that you love, this should come natural to you. If you are cheating, you are a cheater and this will cause you to want to hide stuff, but if you aren’t, being honest should be easy.
Honesty and loyalty go hand in hand, and it is what builds the foundation of any healthy relationship. You have to learn to trust and to earn trust from your partner. Trust does not come before earning it.
Being Weird
Be a little weird. Be the weird in you that you love and appreciate and that makes you unique. Do not let the world make you feel judged. There is nothing wrong with being a little weird or eccentric at times.
Your partner should make you feel happy about expressing who you are. You should feel comfortable acting the way that you act and being who you are. Your partner needs to accept you with all of your quirks and not try to change you. These are the things that make you who you are.
You need to be honest and open with your partner and not worry about him or her judging you.
Loves You Even When They Don’t Like You
One thing about being in a relationship is that there will be times that you will not get along. You will have fights and you will disagree about things. Chances are you will even have different views on life, and that is okay.
Communicating with your partner is what will get you through these things. If you want to be with someone and have a healthy relationship, you have to learn to communicate and understand each other and the differences that you have.
Just because you argue with someone, it doesn’t mean that they don’t love you anymore. If you have someone in your life that you are seeing, they will love you even through the hard parts and the fights or they aren’t worth being with.
Attention
Be with someone that will give you their attention without being distracted all the time. Find someone that wants to sit with you and watch tv with you or go out with you. Find someone that makes time for you and talks to you and wants to know how your day has been.
Be with someone that does not forget important things that you want to do or someone that is there to actually listen to what you have to say. Someone does not need to waste their time on someone that does not want to have real conversation or someone that doesn’t want to be with you.
Have someone in your life that enjoys being with you and understands you and wants to explore more about you.
Appreciating You
Find someone in your life that appreciates who you are. When you date someone, make sure that they have a character that you appreciate and someone that appreciates you in return. Your partner should want to look at the things that you like such as what you posted on Facebook or what you wrote in class that day. You need to find someone that wants to be on the journey with you and not just tagging along.
Be with a person that appreciates who you are and what you do. Let them like how you look but most importantly who you are. Find someone with a good heart that understands that things will not be perfect and that you will not always have good days.
Let the memories come and flood your life and create them along the journey. Be with someone that accepts you for who you are and what you like and be with someone that you want to be with in your life, someone you cannot imagine being without.
