No one likes a mardy arse

Well after yesterday's desperately maudlin post, I thought I ought to come back and confirm that I have not thrown myself under a speeding train, nor have I contemplated cutting out what remains of my trampled and confused heart and serving it up in a sandwich to the offending party.

Instead, I am trying to look to the future with a positive attitude.

What have I learned?

(1) Stay true to yourself, your views and your values.
(2) Sometimes life doesn't go as you planned, get over it.
(3) Anyone can love when the sun is shining. Its during the storms you learn who is really there for you.
(4) Be smart enough to hold on, but also wise enough to know when to let go.
(5) There will always be the ones that love, and the ones that allow themselves to be loved.  Don't fall for the latter.
(6) No man is worth your tears, and the man who is won't make you cry.
(7) Cookie dough ice cream is the answer.

So, time to get back up Ellesbelles.  Apply the lippy, slip on the heels, and get that ass back on out there.  Nothing else for it, really.  No one likes a mardy arse.

The Same Old Lies

Why are women so stupid?  We fall for the same old lies time and time again.  We see others in the same situation, and we think "that won't happen to me".  We convince ourselves that if we love hard enough it will be OK.  We are willing to put in enough effort for both of us.  We know, deep deep down, when something is not right, but we try, oh how we try, to bury the seed of doubt because if we close our eyes to it it's not happening.  But it is happening.

Why?  Why do we do that?  Why do we continue to love people that don't deserve us? 

We ignore the warning cries of our friends.  We ignore the warning cries of our hearts.  And then our hearts get broken and frankly, we only have ourselves to blame.
