What Does Your Heart Say?

I got this from the Washington Post last weekend and decided to fill it out and share with the rest of you. You just have to complete the sentence.

  • Your first love…usually happens when you are too young to appreciate or understand it. Your first love should be unconditional, like the love of the puppy you got when you were eight and not the pimple faced kid you dated in high school.
  • Love at first site…happens the first time you open your eyes and see you mother. Let’s face it, the rest of the time it is LUST at first site. You can’t love someone until you get to know them.
  • After a breakup, never…forget the reasons things didn’t work out. We all see past relationships through rose colored glasses. Remember that there were cracks in the lenses when you were together.
  • The best part…of meeting someone new is all the uncertainty around getting to know them. Love is a mystery that we all want to be a part of.
  • The longer you are with someone…the easier it is to take them for granted. You have to work at relationships, especially as more time passes.
  • They say you know when you know. I think that’s…crazy. You THINK you know when you know, you can never really know. Nothing is certain in this world.
  • Fairy tales tend to leave out the part…that’s real, that’s why they are fairy tails. There is a lot of unhappy that has to be dealt with in order to have a happy ending.
  • You can never predict…what life has in store for the two of you. Be patient, be caring and most important be in it together.
  • I wish I’d known when I was 19 that…women are auditory, I’m allergic to pets, Microsoft stock would be worth so much, the difference between love and sex, and many, many other things.
  • When it comes to relationships, people tend to underestimate…how long forever really is. It takes more than love to make a relationship last forever.
  • When things get really bad…remember that a bad settlement is better than a good win in court. If it has to end, then end it without lawyers. Remember that you loved each other once.
  • The most romantic…gestures should happen more than on holidays. Gestures aren’t romantic on holidays, they are expected. Romance should never be expected, it should be a surprise.
  • Heartache is…the beginning of the healing process. Use that time for reflection and try to learn from your mistakes. Heal and then move on.
  • Valentine’s Day…is a really good excuse to stay home and enjoy a night in together.
  • It’s time to call it quits when…it’s over. Don’t give up to easily, but learn when to walk away. Don’t wake up five years later wondering what the hell you are doing here.
  • In the end, what’s most important is…that life is about the journey and not the destination. Life is long and we always have time to start over.

How would you finish these sentences?

I don't think I would really change much of what you said. I really liked this post. Happy Valentine's Day.
