Valentine's Day and Desire





When we were kids it was much easier to figure out what it was that we wanted. It was simple:
I like this and I want it---now!

And we went after what we wanted accordingly.


Just think back to those nights you won the argument for extra dessert...

You went for it and you got it!
Now..
You’ve got a crush. Do not be
SCARED
to go after what you want!

Ignoring Desire Will Leave You Lonely.

STOP DEBATING ABOUT IT.
Stop worrying about if you are going to enjoy a "new dessert." You will never know if you like it until you try it. And you have every right to enjoy something sweet.


Have a Good Valentine's Day...

One Valentine's Day I thought I was going to be facing a day of self-loathing and bitterness until a guy that I liked went after what he wanted.


"I like you and I would like to be with you. If you're not ready for that, I can wait, but I wanted to let you know..."

All of a sudden the gates were opened! I realized if I had done the same thing he had just done, I would not have been so miserable all of those days prior wondering if he liked me back or not.



So channel your inner three year-old and GO FOR WHAT YOU WANT!!


YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE. MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY.

Very good post. And the final picture is adorable.
I think that encouraging people to step up and go for what they want is very admirable.

I knew that I should have stuck with my 3 year old instincts. Crying and throwing things always worked then, why shouldn't it work now?!

I really enjoyed this, I'm going to take the "go for it" advice.
