Sleepless in Seattle

To be sleepless and hopeful for a chance is more than a girl can ask for.

The Healthy:

1. Love is Risk. By risking hurt Annie Reed was able to find something real. Over and over again she had been hurt. She had to put it all on the line to be on the Empire State Building, and look at what she gained. Within a relationship.

2. Go out on a Limb. Similar to #1. Jump in sometimes. Call into a radio show, put your heart out on the line. To start a relationship, one has to go outside their comfort zone. Once in a relationship, it is REALLY easy to forget to step outside their comfort zone for their partner. Compromise is a skill.

The Unhealthy:

1. Be Safe. Risk can be good, but ALWAYS use protection (; and not just for that. But risks need to be calculated. Don't put yourself in unnecessary danger.

2. Don't Let Others Run Your Love Life. Advice is good, and a push can be good, but sometimes it can go to far. Watch where your relationship is going and don't let other people's advice rule over what you want in your relationship.

The Special:

The Story. How a couple gets where it is today is always unique. Where did you come from, and where can you go? When you remember when you come from it reminds me why you fight for your relationship. Why you were willing to risk all that pain in the first place.
