M,

Thank you for posting, as it was quite refreshing to read.

Growing up as a child, in my generation we did not have computers, cell phones ect. My older brother had a Sega and a nintendo but even then, I didn’t really play with it. As a child I loved playing outside! Myself and the kids in our community loved playing sports outside in the grass, running around the complex, exploring/going on adventures. Playing board games. Now that was the life as a child that I so dearly loved.

Anyway-

“We are living in a time that things happen way too fast. We have all the information that we want literally at the palm of our hands and we can access it anytime we want to. The way we work, study and live is changing, and it’s happening fast.
So, I’ve been thinking that we are being taught to “let things go” too much specially with relationships, if something doesn’t work out with someone that’s ok, let’s move on to the next one and luckily we have Tinder, Happen, we have datings sites and apps that makes it all easier and faster.”

I absolutely agree! I’m def not ok with Tinder. Dating sites well, I tried years ago and it was NOT for me, I tried twice and it was just not my style.

“But… what if we eventually meet someone that makes us want to wait/”fight” for them? It seems to me that it’s almost wrong because we are expected to always “let go and move on”. Has it always been like this?”

I know the feeling and I am the same way. Once I love someone and they love me, I don’t want to be with anybody else. My belief is that anybody who fights for you, searches for you, refuses to give up on you, believes in you, is ALWAYS worth fighting for. that just tells you how much they truly love you. Waiting can be ok up to certain but eventually the couple needs to come together and make a life together. Not living apart. True love is true love, I have proven through the test of time my true love for my future wife. <3 Hope that helps in regards to your post. 🙂

Let me know what you think about this. Enjoy! 🙂

Pour Que Tu M’Aimes Encore By Celine Dion

English translation – So That You Love Me Still

I understood all the words, I understood, thank you.
They were new and made sense, that’s why here
Things have changed, and the flowers have wilted
That’s why the past was the past
That’s why, if everything changes and wears out, then loves also fade away

You should know
I’ll look for your heart if you take it somewhere else
Even if when you dance, others are dancing with you
I’ll look for your soul in the cold, in the flame
I’ll cast a spell on you, so that you love me still

You shouldn’t have started, attracted me, touched me
I shouldn’t have given so much, I don’t know how to play
People tell me that today, they tell me that’s how other women do things
I’m not other women
Before we get too close, before we throw it away

You should know
I’ll look for your heart if you take it somewhere else
Even if when you dance, others are dancing with you
I’ll look for your soul in the cold, in the flame
I’ll cast a spell on you, so that you love me still

I’ll find other languages to sing your praises
I’ll pack our bags for the fields of eternal harvests
I’ll say those magic words spoken by African healers
I’ll say them with no regrets, so that you love me still

I’ll make myself a queen so that you don’t leave me
I’ll make myself new so the fire starts again
I’ll become like those other women who make you happy
Your games will be our games, if that’s what you desire
I’ll make myself brighter, more beautiful, to rekindle the spark
I’ll turn myself to gold, so that you love me still

There is no courtship anymore. Women are sleeping their way through dozens of “relationships” until they realize it’s too late to have kids. Men are simply using this in their favor and never commit to anything. They waste a good woman’s 20s and then ditch them in search of more sex. Why buy the cow if you already have milk? In the midst of all of this there is this whole notion of letting go everything. Just forget and move on. Don’t think about it. Just let go. We’re basically becoming this society where abandonment and detachment is the way to fix anything. Because why hold on to something or someone when the next best thing that you’ll probably also abandon is a click away. Things do happen fast but people rarely connect and when they do they connect for all the wrong reasons and with the wrong people.

ElleTinker700, I’m glad you decided to come back 🙂

Hi Inky,

Funny because I always loved that french song since I was kid but never really new the entire english translation up until recently. When they broadcasted Celine’s husband Rene’s funeral, they played all of his favorite songs she sang throughout the years. I can agree that the french song/lyrics seems really desperate but I really love how she sings this song, set aside the emotional lyrics. I obviously didn’t write this song so, it’s not a bad reflection upon me lol. Unfortunately or fortunately for superstars, they make tons of money off of love songs like the first one above. Can’t say that I agree with the lyrics but I do get the message. I will say, who ever did write it, made a ton of money since Celine Dion’s The French Album was a hit.
The music industry know’s songs like that sells albums lol. C’est La Vie 🙂

“So five years into the relationship she had G-r-a-d-u-a-l-l-y changed to a Size 6 red head who was only regionally well known. And changed part of her new name back to the old name. And some of the things that were turn offs from her old identity were now seen as “quirks” in her personality which were “OK” because he loved her.

Finally ten years later she is now Size 12 with black hair and fully her original self (and not beautiful or famous). She’s all “It was Me the Whole Time” and now YES, he loves her. But she had to trick him in the beginning to FIRST make him love “her” so he could eventually learn to love HER.”

Yeah… I understand what you’re saying respectfully. People tend to change their hair color, cut their hair differently, some women shave it all off lol because their styles change. People change as they get older and mature, women mature a lot faster than men by the end of their 20’s. I mean when I was in my early 20’s I was a blonde for 6 years because I truly enjoyed it. What started from highlights back when I was 20 years old, gradually went to more and more highlights as the years progressed. So I got blonder and blonder. As I got into my late 20’s I was done spending 4 hours in the salon and with the up-keep. Didn’t want to spend anymore money highlighting my hair. Some people go the extreme and some just like trying new styles with their hair color/length. As far as dress size, that can naturally change for some women as they get older, nothing wrong with that as long as the person is happy & comfortable with themselves. 🙂

Love is love. <3
