liebe mich gut, weil ich bin ♡


 There was a time when I was afraid that whatever I did wouldn't make him happy. 

Anything that would happen and put him in danger would really scare me and make me feel bad. 

It's not that I'm someone who has high walls or that I'm very negative, but it's more that I'm afraid of disappointing him with everything I do. 

I hope you will be patient and accept me as I am, I try my best every day. 

I hope we have a love that does not bring each other down, a love that is patient, strengthening and sincere. 



Love, 

Elista x

A Deeper Way

What do you wish you’d known about love?  I used to think the kiss was the most romantic part of wedding. Now I listen to the vows and think, oh my gosh, you have no idea what’s coming. The best-case scenario is that you’ll still be together when one of you dies. What you’re really promising is to each other through difficult times — in sickness and in health. It’s very romantic to me that what you’re signing up for all of those hard things: the work of long-term love, the inevitable loss, the decision not to leave when things get tough, the beauty of suffering together. The romance is actually in the hard part, not the kiss. ♥ Why is it difficult for some people to ask for their needs to be met in a relationship?  For the last hundred years it so we’ve trained children not to ask for anything, because it is a nuisance. Children are told, “those that ask don’t get.” And then as an adult they think they’d be selfish if they said, “it makes me feel better when you text before yo...

Why Great Employees Leave “Great Cultures”

“We have a great culture.” We have all heard it. We have all said it. But what does that mean? Ping-Pong tables, free meals, and beer on tap? No. Yoga, CrossFit classes, and massage chairs? I so need that, but no. The promise of being part of a hip, equity-incentivized, fast growing team? Closer, but still no. Culture is often referred to as “the way things are done around here.” But to be useful, we need to get more specific than that. “ I’ve been working in HR for over twenty years, and the best companies I’ve worked with have recognized that there are three elements to a culture: behaviors, systems, and practices, all guided by an overarching set of values.” -Melissa    A great culture is what you get when all three of these are aligned, and line up with the organization’s espoused values. When gaps start to appear, that’s when you start to see problems — and see great employees leave. These gaps can take many forms. A company might espouse “work-life balance” but not offer...

Beyond Boundaries: The Unseen Struggles of Love and Acceptance

A s I sit here, penning down the thoughts that have weighed heavily on my heart for the past few weeks.  You see, for the past four years, I've poured every ounce of my being into a relationship that, despite my best efforts, seems to have slipped through my fingers. I've given it my all – my love, my sacrifice, my attention, my gifts, and my unwavering support. I've cooked his favorite meals, flown across continents to be by his side, and showered him with affection.  I've called, I've texted, I've been there and here, and I've even gone the extra mile to spice things up in the bedroom – giving him the best make love of his life, making him feel like a king.  Yet, despite all of this, it feels like my efforts have fallen on deaf ears. The truth is, I'm Asian, and I don't live in Europe. I don't possess the skills in surfing, skating, or snowboarding that seem to define his world. I may not speak his language fluently, and my hair may be straigh...
