Love for DUMMIES!

What matters the most?
To love someone and be with them for a short while as lovers... and grow apart then hate each other? Or sacrifice the love to keep the person in our life forever?

Would you decide to stay with someone if you knew for sure you would make them miserable and drag them down the hole with you... or would you set them free to watch them fly and enjoy life, without you... and fly back to you sometimes for a short hello... to breathe life back into you again?

Would you be able to handle years of knowing for sure you how you feel about this person... and still decide to not say a word... ?

Would you be able to be the friend, advise this person and help this person to get closer to everyone but you, while deep inside all you want is for him to love you?

Would you be as stupid as a sixteen year old girl who gave away the love of her life, because she was too afraid of what would happen if she stayed? Or would you be selfish and stay, and watch this person's smile fade away because of your complicated life?

It's hard to be 16... but it's definitely much harder being 35 with the weight and the guilt of nineteen years of regret... and still counting.

True love comes once in life... don't be too philosophical about it... life doesn't give second chances... people change... and what you walk away from will never walk back towards you.

If you love, love fully, intensely, madly, deeply... and don't think of what "might" happen... just take it as it comes... Give it your all, give it your best... and be at peace with yourself...

I wish I practiced what I now preach. But I was just 16... I was in love, I was intoxicated with the idea of being loved... it was too much, too new, too strong... and I thought I couldn't handle it because I was not aware of my real strength... I held myself back. I put the chains around my ankles... I planted the mind blocks... and now I regret. Was it worth it? No... Was he worth it? Yes... Was it worth breaking his heart for? No... Yet I did it... thinking he did not love me as deeply and as strongly...

How I was wrong...

How

I

Wrong!

How to Be the Perfect Girlfriend - 12 Steps.

You met the guy of your dreams, he's all you ever dreamed of, the knight in shining armor that will swipe you off your feet and take you away into a fairytale... BUT, he's not really into you? Here's how you can get him to be with you, no matter how stubborn and how uninterested he might be: 1. Chase him: Every person likes to feel wanted, and here is what you can do. Forget about your dignity and chase him. Spill yourself in front of him... Compliment him... pop up randomly at all the places he hangs out at... make him see you, day, night, weekdays, weekends... eventually he will get so used to seeing you around that when he doesn't... he will notice something missing. That's when you got your first hooks on him! 2. Play nice: Now that you have his attention, put on your best act. And yes, I mean ACT. We both know you're not that sweet innocent, trusting and harmless girl you are trying to portrait, and we all know you have a crazy b*tch hidden in you so

Making Viking Belt bags - the old way...

Image
This summer, I will be participating in Viking markets around Norway, so I had to prepare many items, as authentic as possible, to be able to display and sell them at the markets. I started making leather crafts without having any prior experience in leather work, I just gave it a try a few years ago, and it worked! Now, I just learn as I go, and I believe I am doing quite well, and people who see and buy my work keep telling me so... which is the encouragement I need to keep improving and doing new things, expanding my horizons, in a way. A while ago, I started making viking belt bags again. I had already made a few... but working alone, when you think you have done so much... you look at the number of hours used, and then you take a look at the number of items produced... and you see that it's never enough! Each pouch can take from 3 to 18 hours of work, depending on the size, the dying technique, treating/softening the leather, the engraving and the sewing. It all s

DIY Leather Steampunk inspired Corset-Belt tutorial.

A couple of weeks ago, the weather in Norway was super hot and summery, which is something that has not happened in the last four years. Everyone (except me) was happy for all the sun and heat out there... People were enjoying the weather, walking around in bikinis... sun bathing on the grass in the middle of downtown... the pubs and restaurants were full, the city was once again ALIVE after the long dark winter.  But as soon as people barely started getting used to the heat that a cold wave hit the coutry, first starting with cold northern winds... but it was not cold enough to go back to winter clothing. It's the most annoying type of weather when you don't really know what to wear! If you dress up in summer clothes, you'd freeze, if you dress up in winter clothes, you'd suffocate! So, to keep a long story short, I tried to find a healthy balance by making myself a corset made of leather.  Why, you may ask? Well my tummy and waist area have always been a wea
