Love Letters

Does writing love letters or notes to you lover a little childish?

I used to do it in high school but for a 19 year old is it a lil corny and immature? I wanna write one to my boyfriend but we always tease each other calling each other corny lol. I dont want him to think it's corny.

No I write love letters and it sets me apart from those guys that don't give a crap. Plus girls love it when you take the time to write something. I am 18 and don't have the problem of pouring my heart and soul into them.

How Do You Feel a Love Song

A love song is just a caress set to music. They are often songs that are the best means to revive those feelings of a lost or current love. They are a fundamental part of pop music and culture and are typically, romantic ballads, but some are also about the darker side of infidelities and break-ups. How do YOU feel a love song? Do you let it caress you...

A love song is more like a love poem with the only difference of an addition of music with it. It is usually about falling in love and the happiness it brings.

This type of song in the first person are quite rare before the middle of the nineteenth century, but it is not known why this is. However, many believe that love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness where you are able to feel the warmth and beauty of the season embedded in the music of the song.

These songs are also a part of the wonderful tradition of stage and screen musicals which are part of our culture. They can be about the purging of a coy mistress, fantasizing about an estranged lover or about being torn between two lovers.

Love songs are the dance of spirit as it sweats out passion. About the pull and twist of a violin, crying out wanting to be heard, strings popping and reverberating into a multiverse.

These songs are everywhere, and for everybody. They are the poetry of daily life -- a poetry of passion and death, hurt and humor, pleasures and torn dreams of desire. Love songs are one of the most famous forms of expressing love to one another from time and again. Musicians through the years have given it their best attempt to express the meaning of love in their songs.

How do YOU feel A love song? Try to feel them consciously by recognizing such events:

-- Feel the love song at a wedding: Music plays a special part on that day and the quest for the perfect wedding song is something almost all brides go on. Beautiful piano music and slow romantic love songs are wonderful compliments to this setting.

-- To bring someone closer to you: Play a love song that reverberates in your heart. Romantic love songs are the secret diaries of your heart and soul.

-- On special occasions: Valentine's Day songs and romance have gone together since the beginning of time.

-- When experiencing a break-up or loss: Express your emotions by listening to love songs for some can be a therapeutic way of coping with a bad break up, losing a loved one, or simply expressing emotion.

-- For expressing thanks and gratitude: Christmas love songs fill your heart with joy, and affection...and don't fail to express thanks, gratitude and love for yourself and your blessings.

One person wrote from Feeling The Music Philosophy: My perception of feeling music is based on interpreting and feeling the vibrations from the music both 'physiologically' and through 'artificial sound' through using my hearing aids.

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter, togetherness is all I'm after...Tell me, how do YOU feel a love song?

love urself first then to love others

I've compiled a list on how to love yourself for readers who are facing difficulty knowing what to do in boosting their own self esteem. When I first began to be aware that I need to love myself first, before I can develop any meaningful relationships with others, I realised that I did not know where to start.

This was a surprise to me then as I would have thought I'd be an expert on love and relationships by then. After all, as I recalled, in my younger days, I've spent much time looking for the best spouse or romantic partner. But I soon realised that my search was meant to fill the void or emptiness I had inside. Finding a good relationship with myself seemed to be an even harder task! However, as things turned out, I realised that I failed miserably in my early relationships because I had insufficient or little self love.

If you've suffered from low self esteem, then it goes to show that you are lacking in self love. You may even find it difficult to even search your heart for that little bit of love you have for yourself. I dare say that your mind has been so ingrained with self sabotaging thoughts for the longest time, that loving yourself sounds unnatural to you.

However, nothing is going to happen if you do not make a conscious decision. And that includes Attracting Abundance. When you don't love yourself, you are basically telling the Universe that you are unworthy or undeserving of any love or positive outcomes that have the same vibrational match as love.

Learning to love yourself starts with making a conscious decision, an intention to become happy and lead a fulfilled life. When you do not love yourself and suffer from low self esteem, you can find that it impossible to ever reach the potential that you suspect you have.

"Love yourself first and everything falls into line."
Lucille Ball quotes (American radio and motion-picture actress and comedy star, 1911-1989)

When you make a decision to love yourself, you are really saying that you want to come alive. You accept that you are responsible for the outcomes that you experience in your life and would like yourself to shine from living a fulfilling life.

So if you've decided on loving yourself but are as equally stumped on how to love yourself, as I was back then, here are 17 ways which I believe can be helpful:

1. Fall in love with yourself. Think about what makes you You. Just like a flower that needs watering to grow, learn to nurture yourself in every way. Love yourself for all the good that you see and accept your flaws and the fact that you are imperfect. This does not meant that you do not learn to change from your shortcomings; instead, you are being gentle and kind to yourself for all your flaws. Look in the mirror and fall in love with the reflection that is You.

"To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance."
Oscar Wilde quotes (Irish Poet, Novelist, Dramatist and Critic, 1854-1900)

2. Eliminate Self Criticism. Do you often berate yourself over the tiniest thing? Is there a little voice inside your head that often tells you that you are no good because you are stupid or make mistakes. If you find that you criticise yourself often, make an effort to stop the self criticism.

"I CAN is 100 times more important than IQ." — unknown

3. Be Kind And Positive. When you start to think kindly and positively about yourself, the love you have for yourself just grows. Make it a habit to praise yourself everyday, while in the front of the mirror. Because of such thoughts, you naturally undertake empowering actions that support your development.

4. Acknowledge Your Effort. It's not always about winning or having success in everything that you do. Many times, it is the effort that counts! Acknowledge that you've done your best, even if you have failed to produce tangible results.

 

 

 

5. Let Go Of Worry. Loving yourself requires you to let go of your worry. It is a horrible way to live a life filled with constant worrying. I can attest to that! Worry does not help in any way. It cannot, on its own, make things happen. Only wise actions can! So instead of worrying, spend time thinking about what you can do to help in the situation. If the situation is beyond your control, then ask the Universe for your desired outcome and let things work out on their own. Things will come to be, if they are meant to be.

"There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will." — Epithets quotes (Greek philosopher associated with the Stoics, AD 55-c.135)

6. Trust Yourself. Have confidence in your abilities. Know that you have the ability to make important changes for yourself, for as long as you put your heart to it. You can also support yourself by visualizing desired outcomes.

"Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do."
Benjamin Spock quotes (American Pediatrician and Author, 1903-1998)

7. Forgive Yourself. If you have made mistakes in the past that had caused you to feel less worthy, then you need to forgive yourself. All of us make mistakes; so there really is no need to beat yourself up over them. Or if you've been carrying around a baggage of emotional hurt because of a childhood trauma, learn to forgive yourself that it is not your fault.

"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you."
Lewis B. Smedes quotes

8. Be Truthful To Yourself. Loving yourself requires you to be truthful about your own feelings. If you are happy, acknowledge the joy. If you are sad, acknowledge the sorrow. When you are truthful about your feelings, you do not try to lie to yourself or seek to bury your negative emotions. Instead, acknowledging what you feel provides a good guide to what your thoughts are. And as we all know, thoughts can be changed, so that healing and self growth can take place.

9. Grow Spiritually. When you spend time growing spiritually, loving yourself is an automatic thing. You become more peaceful, connected, kind, loving and compassionate. You nurture a mind that grows more beautiful by the day. How to not love yourself in the process?

10. Make Positive Affirmations Everyday. Post affirmations that can help raise your self esteem everyday. For instance, say this to yourself "I love and accept myself completely and unconditionally." Read your affirmations out loud several times a day.

11. Express Gratitude. Express gratitude for the person that you are. For instance, cultivate an appreciation for your strengths and gifts. Also, feel a sense of gratitude that 12. Nurture Your Dreams. Why deny yourself your dreams? When you nurture your dreams, you would love the life that you are leading. Every moment that you live is a joy because you are expressing yourself fully.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. —Mark Twain

13. Boost Your Self Confidence. Make a deliberate attempt to look for opportunities that can help improve your sense of Self. For instance, if you are particularly good at doing something, set aside more time to indulge and improve your skills on it. Knowing that you have particular gifts can boost your self esteem.

14. Relax. You need to give yourself space to take breaks every now and then. If you spend your time working, without paying attention to your health, it also means that you do not love yourself well enough to take care of your own body. Fill your time with silence, soothing music and visions of beauty; anything that nourishes your Soul.

15. Have Fun. Inject some fun into your life. Life is meant to be an enjoyable. Don't take life or yourself too seriously. If you can think of life in this manner, you automatically relax and quit worrying over things that do not matter.

16. Look After Your Body. It is important that you strengthen yourself with proper nutrition and regular exercise. Your body is a temple and you should treat it with respect, love and care. It has been found that the lack of self love is often the root causes of conditions like eating disorders, obesity or even terminal diseases.

"Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live."
Jim Rohn quotes (American Speaker and Author. He is famous for motivational audio programs for Business and Life. )

17. Learn To See Beauty. When you learn to see beauty in every thing, you will also see beauty in yourself. Hence, stop to smell the flowers. Notice everything. Feel everything. The pink blush of the flowers in your garden, the greeness of the plains, the whisper of the gentle wind, or the myraid hues of an evening sky.

Laugh and Love your Dog

I found a rugged quartz crystal in our garden yesterday and brought it to my writing table, to gaze at its beauty and reveal its mystery as I write, like gazing into a crystal ball.

The five crystals in the center of it are perfect, in their own wild way, like the days I spent in total conflict with myself, with society and the world.

It brings to mind one of my favorite Alphia stories, my golden German Shepard Collie of the 1960's, the pre-Funk commune years, occurring several months after the communal caravan arrived in San Francisco.

We found our large Victorian house after several weeks of illegal camping around the jagged Pacific shore hideaways and in the many untamed parks for which the city is famous.

The caravan people had remained disgruntled in spite of the constant dog/God guidance surrounding us.

A chasm developed between those who wanted to join the ranks of the work-a-day world, and the four of us who went on to establish the Funky Farm community and knew that going to work was antithetical to living creatively by the seat of our pants.

I had come to a place within myself where I needed to live outside of the mainstream, established 9-5 ho-hum I'm beaten down, kill me now style of existence I imagined my father ascribing to for his thirty-five working years, at the same place, doing the same job, everyday. I'd think of an exhilarating alternative, bet on that.

My life as a rip off artist now began in earnest.

One day, I took Alphia Lee for a walk in Golden Gate park. A squirrel distracted her from the beloved stick, and damn it if she didn't run in front of a fast moving car. She crawled back to the side of the road.

I remember crying and kneeling beside her, going over her body, getting a sense of how badly she was hurt. A car pulled over and a young man asked to take me where ever I wished to go.

He had an old blanket and we carefully laid her on it.

Then he drove Alphia and me to the big rambling Victorian house that was our temporary abode.

We prepared a bed for her with old blankets and rags.

She'd look at us with a forlorn Muki eye, the dog who joined me 28 years later to show me true love.

That look inspired me to slip into the meat department of a local Safeway, and steal one steak a day for her, and for her only.

Then we'd sit with her for hours, stroking her neck and body and encouraging her to come back to us.

The long intimate times we spent with her were patient and happy. We did not desperately plead with her to live rather than die. Rather, we coaxed her gently, showing her our love, and gave her the great option of living with a handful of rogues completely alienated from society.

She opted to spend a few more years with us in our experiment of living--dangerously.
