I'm Sorry.

Such little words, such a big impact on life.

They can make you or break you to pieces.
When someone says:

ie: I'm sorry i hurt you/ I'm sorry i called you that/ I'm sorry i was inconsiderate of you..

OR

I'm sorry, we're just not meant to be together/  I'm sorry, it's not you, it's me..

See, it can make or break you!

But what if you are the one apologising.

Even on a good day it can be hard to do.

I'm not talking about the 'Sorry i rammed my trolley into the back of your legs' at the supermarket type thing.

I mean things that actually matter.

(not that you can get away with ramming your trolley into someone without an apology, that's just rude..)

To humble yourself, put pride & ego aside.. yuck, no one wants to come across as being soft or a pushover but if it's going to be a genuine apology, then get with it.

I had to do this recently.

Le sigh*
I am an embarrassment to myself at times!

You know when you say something that is highly inconsiderate of the person you are saying it to & it's something that could cut them to the bone in an instant?

That was me.

*Ouch, baby, ouch.

I am not stoked about my actions in any way shape or form.

I'm sorry.

...being me (yes, I'm the first to admit I am a bit slow on the uptake, even at the best of times) it only took about 1hr for me to realise I was in fact in the wrong.

Ah crap.
And then you go into that instant meltdown feeling where you have to absolutely fix the problem/apologise before it escalates into something that it should never have been in the first place & you go into overdrive & you feel like the worst person in the history of human LIFE.. yeah. 

But once the penny had dropped- I apologised instantly.
Apology accepted.

And it felt good.

Le Fin.

Girls are pieces of MEAT!

HA!

Just kidding.

No we definitely are not.

Surprise, surprise, we're actually people not just a nice piece of.... well, you get my drift.

Don't get me wrong, there is definitely something very nice, lovely & good about a guy who sees someone he likes & then
goes for her.

However easy or hard it may be.

Who knows where it could lead?

It could be the best gamble you ever make & if nothing works out, then atleast you've gained a friend from it.

In doing so, you'll gain her respect which I'm sure some of you guys don't care about just yet, but the select few who do care are the real gems out there.

Few & far between.

Before i go on, let me set something straight.

My dad is very traditional.

Man pursues woman.

The end.

Simple equation really.

That's what I have been brought up knowing.

Nothing makes you feel more desired than a guy who is confident enough to actually take that chance & pursue you & knows how to hold onto your attention once he's got it.

Oooh la la!

When you make her feel like this, she responds.

But.

It's when guys cross the line & feel they can treat you like a piece of meat & still win you over after doing so.

How dumb do you think we are?

(That's a rhetorical question by the way)

No thanks. Goodbye mate.

It's not the best feeling in the world.

Especially when random guys yell out obscene, rude things to you, wolf whistle at you (actually.. I must confess, I don't mind the old wolf whistle because it's nice to be appreciated when strutting down the street!)

Or when random guys grab you to dance with.

No thanks random grindy guy.

Get away from me. Yuck.

You want some love? Then don't treat me like trash.

I can hold out longer than you can.

Where has chivalry gone? Seriously.

When a guy is chivalrous towards me, it completely

blows my mind!

I never expect it. Ever.

So when it happens, it's always a lovely surprise & I feel like i owe him the world because he makes me feel that nice.
Actions always get a reaction ;)
Even if it's just something little like buying a drink for me, paying for a cab ride or bringing a bottle of wine to dinner.

Win Win Win.

It's just simple, nice & courteous.

For me, it really is the little things in life that count.

I don't need or want to be bought expensive things.

(Unless it's an engagement ring. Then, the bigger the better! Diamond. 9ct white gold please. You wont regret it.)

It makes you feel like a person, not just some piece of meat that can be used, abused & expected to still be there next time.

To my boy friends who just seem to 'get it,' you guys are champions.

xox

ps- You'd be surprised how far a little chivalry & respect 
will get you... yes. yes. yes.
