  11. amedrops: 12 Ways to Find your Soulmate Believe in your soulmate. Make a list of what “soul mate” means to you and the qualities you seek in your true love. Embrace your belief and find within yourself a place of trust and knowing that there is someone out there, somewhere, for you. If you can believe in love—even when life does not seem to be taking you in that direction—you are halfway there! Make your life love-friendly. Gently look around your life for ways that you might be preventing love from finding you. Then make a choice to uncover beliefs, behaviors, and stuff that no longer serve you. Clean up what you no longer need, get your life in the best order possible, and you will find yourself getting ready for a great relationship. This will open the doors and the windows to love and begin to truly open your heart as well. Acknowledge and slay the dragons. Be brave now and name the things (dragons) that are keeping you from love. Are you immature in love relationships? Demanding? Needy? Obsessive? Do you love too much? Give yourself away too fast? Have a hard time accepting faults in yourself or others? Do you consistently choose the wrong kind of people, with the same kinds of issues? Are you stuck in a relationship with the wrong person? Begin to identify the things that get in your way and have burned you in the past. That is the first step toward healing and adjusting your behavior. Work on healing your love wounds. Find a forum in which you can work on healing your heart, and stick with it. Do it for you, and love will follow. If healing has not begun or progressed—through therapy, grief work, spiritual practice, and any other form of transformational work—we risk being needy and overly anxious, and jumping into the wrong relationship. So choose to make this year a time to heal and move on. Gently say goodbye to a non-soulmate love. Don’t try to replace lost love; grieve for the relationship that you must leave. Give yourself some time before you search for another love. This is key for some of us who tends to jump from relationship to relationship. You will know when it is time to open to love again.

About me

Alysse. 22 in Toronto
Notoriously cold hands (and feet)

bricolage: (in art or literature) construction or creation from a diverse range of available things : the chaotic bricolage of the novel is brought together in a unifying gesture.

This is the perfect word to describe this blog, instead of “messy hodgepodge of cupcakes, old WB teen melo-drama worship, my psych class notes, lines from leonard cohen and musing and marvelings on life and love”. Essentially this blog will come down to my three favourite things: storytelling, snapshots and staying warm. I am Canadian, after all.

hungarian and irish
psychology and criminology major

loves: great films, better books, and baaad guilty-pleasure tv shows; autumn, tiramisu, rain and feng shui; family, friends and my bichon frise.

favsies:
verymarykate; zeppelin, stars, schuyler fisk and gwen stefani; ray bradbury, leonard cohen, viktor frankl; rauchenberg, seurat and kandinsky; emilio pucci, proenza schouler, and alexander wang; eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, high fidelity, dirty dancing and the life aquatic; arrested development, dawson's creek, being erica, gilmore girls, futurama.

what this is:
it's about love, it's about me, it's about warmth and blankets and piping hot tea; it's about banana pancakes in bed and shrieking responsibilities. it's a cynic believing in stupid fate, daydreaming away and staying up late. it's love for life itself, a life that's for the brave, and its only life, after all.

I hope whatever this is becomes something that warms you on the coldest days and smolders your heart, making you still love, despite the dark.
