Life Lessons 10 Valuable Life Lessons My Husband Taught Me 11:03 AM Just celebrated another milestone in our marriage. This life chapter has brought a lot of changes - not just in my last name. 😏 There are lessons we've learned together as a couple and as individuals. And the valuable life lessons my husband taught me? I believe every marriage needs them.1. My husband taught me that self-worth is non-negotiable. I don't have to tolerate people who are shortchanging me. He showed me that accepting negativity is a disservice to myself. That I need to take care of my health. That I deserve to be pampered. That I can demand higher pay because I'm good at what I do.Tenor2. How to communicate my feelings.Here's the thing. If a child is crying and you tell them to stop, they grow up thinking they're not allowed to be upset, scared, angry, or show their feelings. In their young minds, they believe those feelings are wrong, invalid, or unacceptable. They get the impression that expressing their emotions is wrong, so they suppress them. Even when they reach adulthood and they know better.My husband showed me that all my emotions are valid. I don't have to hide or dismiss them. He created a safe space where I could express them without judgment, and that's been a game-changer for my emotional health.I still have a hard time sharing or expressing them, but he's a patient teacher (whose patience I always test in that regard 😅).Parks and Recreation3. To trust. Again.Past hurts had me guarding my heart like a dragon guarding its treasure. But my husband's unwavering honesty and genuine actions chipped away at those walls, building trust along the way. He proved that not everyone's out to hurt, humiliate, or use me. I don't always agree with what he tells me, but he's repeatedly proven to me that he's right, so I've learned to trust his judgment.Tenor4. It's okay to set boundaries.He showed me that I can walk away from people regardless of who they are or their role in my life. If they're sucking out my time and energy or disrespecting me, they're out. Self-love should always be a priority.GifDB5. Celebrate my individuality.I'm an introvert, and all my life, I've been made to believe that how I behave is boring and, well, not normal. Because I prefer quiet and solitude at a time when my peers love to party and be out there. So I forced myself to be where the crowd was, mingle, and be as loud as the others. It drained me. It also made me doubt myself and dislike myself for who I am because I thought I wasn't cool or good enough to be accepted. My husband is the most extroverted person I've met. He respects my need for solitude and doesn't force me into uncomfortable situations. The Odyssey Online6. Learn to redefine stereotypes.Growing up in our culture, I was bombarded with outdated gender roles. My husband, a modern-day man, shattered those expectations. He treats me as a wife AND someone with feelings, needs, and opinions. My husband and I are one, but I still get to keep my identity and make choices for my body. I don't have to conform to what society or tradition dictates, and he's there to support me on that.Tenor7. How to be a real partner.Maybe it's because I'm a middle child in a large brood. I've not been a leader. I'm not someone people turn to for opinions. So, I had no idea how to run a ship, so to speak. Marriage, as my husband taught me, is all about teamwork. Healthy relationships require two people working together, not against each other through rough waters.You can't just take orders or take over. We navigate challenges together, celebrate victories as a unit, and share responsibilities with open communication.Giphy8. The 'mundane' matters.The simple, everyday little things matter, like taking the trash out without being asked or preparing my breakfast while he lets me sleep in. An elaborate bouquet of flowers is lovely, but the flowers he picked from the road on his way home are just as meaningful. Tenor9. The real meaning of intimacy.Speaking your partner's love language is intimacy. Whether you're sitting silently together doing separate things, wrapped up in each other's arms, or hundreds of miles apart, you can get intimate. Because intimacy with someone is a choice that goes beyond the bedroom walls.Leightum10. My husband taught me to be more patient.Because are you really a husband if you're not annoying your wife? 😄 My husband is far from perfect, just like me. He makes mistakes, gets grumpy sometimes, and we don't always see eye-to-eye. We came from very different backgrounds and cultures and had opposing opinions. I've learned to be more patient because I can see him trying to be better. And I know what he does is for the best.[I admit I need to work on this more - especially when I'm being hormonal because that's when I'm not in the mood to cut him some slack. 🤷]TenorValuable Life Lessons My Husband Taught MeMarriage isn't just about fancy rings and cake-cutting ceremonies. Those moments are magical, but the real magic unfolds in everyday, quiet moments and unexpected life lessons learned. And my amazing husband has been a great teacher on this journey.Happy anniversary to my better half. I'm blessed to do life with you. Cheers to more years of love, sunsets, dirty jokes, and flirty pickup lines! 🥂Question for YouWhat life lessons has your partner or relationships taught you? Or do you have any marriage advice?
Books 14 Surprising Benefits of Reading Romance Novels 4:56 PM I used to scoff at romance novels. Predictable plots, unrealistic characters, and cheesy dialogue? No thanks. At least, that's what I assumed they were all about. But then I decided to explore and not judge the book by its half-naked godlike man on the cover. Fast forward to today, I am a proud romance reader (I read 180 books last year). While they may not be your cup of tea, romance books offer unexpected benefits beyond the happily-ever-afters. I'll help you ditch the stigma of books about gooey-eyed couples with these 14 surprising benefits of reading romance novels I discovered in my bookish era.1. Escape and RelaxationReality could be overrated. To read romance is to escape from daily routines and a chance to unwind and de-stress. It provides a safe haven to experience various emotions alongside the characters, forgetting your worries and concerns. Live vicariously through reading.Tumblr2. Emotional Intelligence and EmpathyRomance novels have diverse characters. Reading romance can help you understand people's emotions better. It's like trying on different shoes and walking around in them. This can make you more empathetic and emotionally intelligent, improving your relationships at work and in your personal life.Book Banter3. Confidence and InspirationI love romance books that feature strong, relatable characters. I'm especially partial to stories with feisty female leads overcoming their fears and trauma and pursuing their dreams. Fictional as they may be, they can inspire you to embrace your vulnerabilities, set goals, and chase your own happily ever after, whether in love, career, or personal fulfillment.Wiffle Gif4. Boosts Creativity and ImaginationI seldom read romantasy because I struggle with world-building. But romance books also allow you to dive into imaginative worlds with vibrant descriptions. Romance novels can push the boundaries of storytelling, helping you create a world of your own version in your head.GIFdb5. Better Communication and RelationshipsOne of my bookish pet peeves is the misunderstanding trope. It made me value the importance of communication in relationships more. Reading romance can equip you with tools to express yourself effectively, nurture stronger connections, and navigate the complexities of relationships.Pinterest6. Appreciation for Diverse Cultures and IdentitiesFictional characters in romance books provide cultural and social contexts. They help expand your understanding and appreciation for diverse perspectives and experiences. I like Ana Huang's books for this reason. She has characters from different cultures and backgrounds.Get Underlined7. Stress Reduction and Improved MoodThis may depend on the story, but I choose Happily Ever After or HEA-guaranteed books. They have uplifting stories with favorable resolutions. The witty banter, the fun family dynamics, the amusingly meddling residents in the small town, and the hilarious friends. Romance novels can provide a much-needed emotional boost.The Scarlet Reader8. Vocabulary Expansion and Language SkillsRomance novels often employ rich descriptions and engaging dialogue, exposing you to diverse vocabulary and writing styles. Some characters even speak a different language. Reading these stories can help you improve your vocabulary and communication skills.Pinterest9. Memory Boost and Cognitive StimulationFollowing intricate plotlines, remembering character details, and deciphering emotional complexities in romance novels provide a workout for your cognitive muscles. This mental stimulation can contribute to improving your memory and overall cognitive function.LinkedIn10. Problem-solving and Decision-making SkillsWitnessing characters encounter and tackle various challenges throughout their romantic journeys can indirectly enhance your own problem-solving skills. Observing their approaches to difficult situations and the consequences of their choices can lead to more thoughtful and informed decision-making in your own life. You also learn from their mistakes.The Writing Gym11. Sleep ImprovementReading before bed, especially a calming romance novel, can promote relaxation and prepare your mind for sleep. Just avoid reading suspense thrillers and resist the urge to succumb to cliffhangers at the end of a chapter to prevent losing sleep.GifDB12. Personal Growth and ReflectionRomance novels often explore self-discovery, personal growth, and overcoming obstacles. Engaging with these themes can inspire you to reflect on your life, values, and aspirations, potentially leading to personal growth and development.Giphy13. Appreciation for Different Genres Romance has various subgenres, each with distinct storytelling techniques and flavors. Exploring these variations can broaden your literary horizons and help you appreciate different writing styles.PopSugar14. Community and ConnectionOne of the many things I gained from reading romance is the bookstagram community. I may not join a book club because I like to read at my own pace, but I've met online acquaintances who share the same passion. It's tough when you're really into a book but have nobody to share your excitement with. The bookish community has been an excellent place for that.Hey, you wanna be book buddies?

Lux Thinking Aloud Birthday Realizations 1:38 PM Another year older, another opportunity for new perspectives.My actual birthday was much like any other day, with a dash of well wishes. I received warm greetings, had lunch with my sister and her family, and treated myself to a well-deserved day off.Oh, and guess what?It was also the release date for two books I had read in advance (It Should Have Been Us and Where We Fall). How incredible is that? Talk about feeling special! Now, here's a question: as you age, do you ever find your mind taking unexpected trips down memory lane, revisiting past birthdays? It happens to me, and let me tell you, it's quite the ride. It's a chance for reflection, a time to ponder what truly matters.Here's my birthday speech 😅 about a few birthday realizations this year:Celebration is a personal affair. What brings you happiness? If it's a wild party with 200 people, music blasting so loud you can barely hear yourself think, go ahead and boogie on. I've got no qualms about that. It's just not my cup of tea, not even when I was a teenager. I prefer the quiet and tranquil kind of celebration.If my sister hadn't texted me, I would have happily stayed home, tidying up and losing myself in the pages of my books. Some might consider that pathetic or sad, but trust me, it would have brought me pure bliss. A whole day free from work and the outside world, just reading? It's heaven in my book.And the joy of scrubbing away the grime and organizing my pantry and closet. It may sound strange, but it genuinely brings me peace. Picture a house so clean that you don't just see it. You can practically smell the freshness in the air. Just the thought brings me a serotonin boost.And let me tell you, my love for romance novels knows no bounds. I can happily spend an entire day lost in their pages, my heart soaring with each turn. Simple pleasures, right?TumblrJoy in simplicity.As I grow older, simplicity becomes more appealing. The need to prove my happiness to the world diminishes. I no longer seek validation from those who don't know me - and even those who are supposed to give me one.Knowing that I am loved by my Creator and cherished by the few people I hold dear truly matters.And as long as our dogs think I'm amazing, I'm good.I'd choose 10 genuine, caring individuals who support and love me over a thousand empty followers any day. It's about quality, not quantity.GiphyBest gifts are free.Material presents are lovely but don't hold a candle to the intangible treasures that fill my heart.I am truly blessed. Gratitude fills every corner of my being, reminding me of the abundance surrounding me. It's a gift in itself to recognize and appreciate the countless blessings in my life.My incredible husband, who loves me even when I'm not at my most lovable (bless his patient soul). Having someone who accepts and cherishes me for who I am is a gift.The handful of family members and friends. Their love and thoughtfulness brightened my day.Of course, my trusty books played a starring role in my birthday happiness. They whisked me away to far-off lands, introduced me to captivating characters, and filled my mind with wonder. They, indeed, are a source of endless entertainment and joy.Last but certainly not least, I have you right here, dear blogging friends. Your presence, trust, and support mean the world to me. It's a gift I cherish and never take for granted. Thank you for being here and sharing this journey with me.GiphyI can sincerely say that my birthday was a truly happy one. It may not have been filled with grand gestures or extravagant parties, but it was a day of genuine appreciation. And a break from adult responsibilities. Lol!That, my friend, is pure happiness.Thank you for being a part of it. 😘
