Put aside those loose ends for now and concentrate on initiating something that’s near and dear to your heart. It’s a fantastic time to lay the foundation for a project that needs lots of time and TLC. So start drawing up plans, brainstorming, and building those castles in the air. Make sure to give yourself plenty of freedom. Think of the sky not as being the limit, but more like a guideline.

The next time you feel your love life is like a car speeding down the racetrack without a driver, slam on the brakes and take a moment to reevaluate what means the most to you and focus on that. Speed bumps are inevitable, but so is the finish line.

You might need to use your imagination to fill in the details of your partner’s new plan today, but your enthusiasm will mean a lot to them. Offer up your own ideas and together you can make something really great.

Asking to split the bill may seem insensitive, but it pales compared to what you really want to ask. You have to be sensitive to your financial needs right now, but that doesn’t mean you don’t care about the emotional needs of those around you. It means you expect them to act like grownups.
