Oh, how I’ve enjoyed sharing this journey with you all, this mini journey. As most of you caught on, this was telling a story. There are so many ways this story could be told and I can’t wait to hear what you’ve come up with. Would you like to hear how it all started? Listen up.

It started off as a hook-up, turned infatuation, turned love in the process of one day- morning to evening. If you noticed the progress of clothing removal…did anyone catch that? Here, let me show you. (Click images to view series)

First, notice the skirt and blazer.

Second, notice the removal of the blazer- down to the bare basics.

Lastly, notice I’m wearing sort of thrown on from the “jumble” of the day progression. (We’ll just pretend I had tights in my clutch ha)

Now, as the story progressed on my blog, it turned from just a fictional story to a realistic turn of events. I decided to share with you the way a natural progression of falling in love happens- the way I view and see it. These pictures said enough to show true intimacy; deeper than anything you’d get from being physical. The story of two beings meeting and feeling that instant connection as it usually happens was an easy grasp to understand. We’ve all been there and done that. Then, the natural progression of falling into deep infatuation. You can’t get enough from one another and all you want to do is be with this person. Yet, with infatuation, comes doubt and being scared of what happens next. Which is where we ended- LOVE.

Love isn’t concrete as we all assume it to be. It sways from person to person, bringing us someone new if or when that should happen. However, when love happens, it’s beyond beautiful. I’ve learned to embrace that. Instead of avoiding what I already know, I’ve grasped that understanding and rode along. Instead of feeling pessimistic and reluctant to the situation, I’ve learned to receive the love and indulge in it. I deserve to move on, I deserve to be happy and HE deserves the love I’m, now, willing to give.

Life isn’t easy, for anyone. The one thing I’ve learned is that sharing with others is the easiest way to get through life. The experiences we endure, the changes we make in our lives and the trials we’re tested with are perfect examples of what we should share with people who need or want to hear it. There’s the old saying of, “We learn from our own mistakes”, but I believe that sharing with people helps for future knowledge. Those little voices we hear sometimes when we know a situation isn’t or IS right…that is our intuition. Don’t you dare ignore it. That guy is one smart cookie, let me tell you. LISTEN.

So many of you have shared with me that this series (not just the mini-series) was something they needed to hear right at that moment. Honestly, those were blessed words to my ears. I hope to teach you all something, to prevent a heartache or mend one. I hope to learn something from all of you, every day. The stories I’ve heard since I started Love, Lust, Life have been the greatest lessons I’ve read. Keep sharing with me and to everyone who needs it.

With all my love.

I’d love to hear your story of what you thought happened during the mini-series. Please share- it will go up in my next LLL post if there’s enough stories.

    Christina, this is gorgeous. You write so beautifully and I loved the idea behind this. I wrote before about my exboyfriends … well now I’m tentatively treading the first steps of being with another guy. And I think this post was exactly what I needed. We have that instant connection, and here’s hoping it will be more… I get overshadowed by worries, but thanks to you I think I might just go with it :)

      Thank you so much G<3. Yes I remember your comment of your exes. It's great to branch out and discover someone new, someone who has the potential to capture your heart. It could be worth the risk so go for it. Be wise, be intuitive and LOVE. xx

    This really struck a chord with me. Too many times I’ve had my broken heart and I’ve felt that closing myself off will stop it happening again. Being a mum of course brings extra worries as its one thing me having my heart broken but quite another when my kids suffer too. I think its time though to take a chance and maybe find the one who leads me to believe in love again. Thankyou Christina this post is beautiful!

      It’s always hard when little hearts are at risk but as I’ve pointed out before…Women, we’re wise and intuitive. We know who is legit and who isn’t. Now, we can’t predict the future but if you take the leap of faith by going out and finding someone to capture your heart again and it’s better than you’ve ever dreamed, let your childrens’ hearts be open too. Love is beautiful, embrace it. I’m learning that as I type. <3

    I love this series and I cant wait to see what it grows into. Just this pack week I got back from virginia visiting some of the loves of my life (my bestfriends/choosen family). I went there with the intentions of telling my bestfriend that I have feelings for him. but once again I let fear take control of me and I decided that it was better to to keep things to myself. Reading this has shown me that the best part of falling in love is being able to admit it. I know that oneday I will find the courage to express how much he means to me.

    Thank so much for having the courage to tell your story your truly a source of inspiration.

    Congratulations on opening your shop its quite lovely!!

      There will be that moment where there will be no doubt in your mind. You’ll know it’s the right time, if there is one. Listen to your intuition. <3
