(If you have yet to watch the video for Maroon 5’s song, “Never Gonna Leave This Bed” then please indulge for a few minutes before you continue.
Our minds work in mysterious ways. No matter how strong-willed one might be, the fact is that within your own mind you can always find an alternate response. The past few weeks I’ve noticed this pattern time and time again. Even the most grounded and rational people fall prey to their own minds.

Love is complicated. I’ve been told that sometimes you have to be a stubborn little mule, stick to your ground and not move an inch until you get the response you’re looking for. But for those neurotics, and I know you’re out there, this is sometimes difficult. If you stick your ground, how do you know you’re on the right ground? Perhaps there is another path leading up the same way? And because you are stubborn in believing in your stubbornness in the first place, you don’t pay heed to the possibility of another road. Then what? Now what? Ugh. It is sometimes a fickle thought process that jumps in and out and has all these magnificent twists and turns along the way. But if there is one thing I’ve learned from my own experiences as well as those of my close friends – stay true to yourself and the overarching purpose. If your cause is noble and your heart is in the right place, then keep on trekking, no second-guessing. BE Adam Levine in bed with the hot blond, hanging on for dear life, refusing to move an inch away from the bed they share together. They seem to be doing a-ok.
