Gah. Stuff we read. Pui.

'I love you' and 'I'm in love with you' are different. I've found that I need both from my guy. I need to know he loves me, and perhaps even more so, I need to know that he is in love with me.

I believe that's what all women need. We need to be ROMANCED (hello!!) and delighted in. We need to know we are wonderful and beautiful and AMAZING (oh what a flutter my heart makes made at that word).

Captivating. We need--*NEED*--to know we are captivating. Know, and BELIEVE, and ASSURED, that we are captivating.

Anyway. Not sure where I was intending to go with this. Haha. Just something that keeps resonating with me.

I wish my dad knew that. And express it in actions. Plus words.

Men and women are not equal. We have different roles to play. We are the beautiful princesses that they need to fight dragons for and then kneel at our feet and tell us we are the reason they chopped through the overgrowth and undergrowth and endured disgusting bugs and crawlies and battled the meanie dragon.

Haha. Aiya. I'm so ineloquent about this.

Go read Captivating by John and Stasi Elderidge. ;)

[afterthought] Uh. I realized I started the entry with reading something and ended the entry recommending a book. Uh. Different contexts, in case you're confused. Haha.
