11/3/07 3 CommentsIRONIC
Isn't it ironic? We ignore who adores us. Adore who ignores us. Hurt who loves us. Love who hurts us!
~I resolve to remember what it was like to be six years old again. Before mortgages, car payments, love, sex, grocery shopping, vet bills, friendship drama, and the realization of what "death" is.
I am going to do AT LEAST one of the following every day from here on out.... Laugh until I can't breathe, stop to play in the toy isle while I'm running my "grown-up" errands, buy at least one piece of sugary candy when grocery shopping, make funny faces at people when stuck in traffic, sing along with my IPod at the gym... regardless of who I am in the company of, hug people more often, bake more cookies, do more arts and crafts projects.
Why is it that we have no problem saying "I love you" when the other party can't answer back? My dog fully understands that I am obsessed with him. I compliment and kiss him more than I do any human in my life. Perhaps it's because I see him on a consistant basis. Maybe it's because I don't try hard enough to convey the message to my humans. Either way... I'm grateful for my friends and family... I absolutley love them all. We all have crazy schedules but, if I haven't seen you in awhile.... LOOK OUT!! You're due for the hug session of a lifetime. XOXO

10/28/07 8 CommentsLove will find a way
Kinda heavy for this Sunday but it's been on my mind......For those that know me as a goofball and always looking for a laugh....today is not the day. Many people will read this and attempt to argue with me. Don't. All of us have our opinions about relationships and love and matters of the heart. These are mine.
It's funny, but no matter how old we get there is always more to learn. About faith, friends, and above all love & relationships.I feel like these last 3-4 years have been a lesson. And trust me, I am still trying to interpret all of it. Though I would like to think I've come close, I have not yet been "in love." Okay, we all know we have at least one close friend that is always draped over his or her boyfriend/girlfriend and swears to the moon and back that, "I would give my life for this person!" Umm, stop with the melodramacy. No you would not.Have I met a genuine, young couple that is truly in love. Yes. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I just feel like the term "love" is thrown around so loosely in our generation it's getting ridiculous. We've made something as precious and rare as love- a cheap thing that everyone seems to have. Now ladies, answer me this. How good is a brand new Prada if 5,000 other people (claim to) have the same one? The answer is simple. Not good. Certainly designer labels are on a materialistic level versus love a highly sentimental level. But the principle holds true. Something cannot be appreciated to the fullest extent, if it is made into a mockery. For me, relationships have been a sort of trial-and-error. We tried (for indefinite periods of time) and ultimately things ended (obviously!)Sometimes they went well and ended well. Other times, the whole experience was unpleasant to say the very least. (I'll touch on that subject another time.) Though I've been alive for a relatively short amount of time, I'd like to think I've learned an incredible amount of life lessons from each of the guys I've dated. Demands, give-and-take,common courtesies, how to say yes/no, and so on and so forth. Although, I must point out, many of the lessons I learned came after major mistakes on my part. Let's not get into it! I have never been someone who is starved for attention or affection. Not to say I don't love both! (haha) That is another thing. Intimacy. Many people equate intimacy with love. Hello?! That is a mere facet of a highly complex idea. Just because you do the grown-up doesn't mean you are in love. Be serious! I've never really craved the dependance upon someone- that which only can come from a relationship. This is not to say that people who are currently in relationships are solely dependant upon their significant other. But you'd be surprised what a relationship can do to you without you even taking notice. We've all been sucked in. I, just like anyone who has been in a relationship, am guilty of over-analyzing situations, obsessing, neglecting, etc. A relationship to me, is a serious commitment. It's saying, "All of my actions affect you," and vice versa. Okay people, that is a heavy load to bear! Perhaps, that's why I've done more dating than settling down.
I look forward to all of the romantic milestones that lie ahead of me in the years to come. "The Notebook" type of love, the big white wedding, the blue light special visits to the diner when we're 88! That is what I cannot wait for, but trust me I'm in no rush to get there.
Luvs ya all, Me!http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z254/jennorater/sillycatcomment.jpg!
