Life


Almost everyone around my age or younger, that I know of, is always in such a rush to grow up. To be honest, I was one of them. But then, I got a hit of reality. Why do I want to grow up so much, so fast? Why do I want to throw away my youth by acting like an adult? Yes, there is a time to be mature and to be realistic, but, there's also a time to have fun and to be laid back.

When I was younger, I never hung out with my cousins or friends. I never went to any birthday parties or any sleepovers. I always wanted to act like a grown up and I always wanted to be the "older" one. But, now I look back and it saddens me that I don't have a lot of fun memories as a child. I robbed myself of my own childhood. Now hearing everyone talk about when they were a child and all of the memories that they had with each other makes me a bit envious.

Just appreciate where you are in life and learn to live life to the fullest. Life is too short to be "jumping" ahead. Enjoy your youth. Appreciate where you are. The time will come when you realize that it's time to really grow up. There's a time and place for everything.

I wish someone would've told me this when I was younger. But, being the eldest of four, I'm the first one to go through everything and I'm the one that will have to guide my siblings. I want my siblings to be able to experience life's "good" side and realize that life CAN be fun. It's not just always serious and full of drama. Life is what you make it. So live it to the fullest.

Love

Love...

One of the most complex things to have ever existed on earth... or am I alone on this one? 
What is love? I mean , who on this earth, can really define what love is?

Lets all face it, every relationship always starts out strong, it always starts out positive and great. But, in the long run, it starts to slowly dwindle…
I’m not saying that relationships are perfect because I know that they aren’t. I’m just simply saying, why do people make things more complicated then what it needs to be?

I find it sad when there’s only one person who’s willing to give it their all in a relationship and the other person doesn’t show any signs of acknowledgement, or willingness to reciprocate as well. Why are we willing to put ourselves in that situation?

If there was someone who hurt us so much to a breaking point, wouldn’t that drive us to leave? Wouldn’t that make us want to take ourselves out of that situation so that we won’t feel so hurt anymore? I know I can’t really speak for anyone but myself when it comes to this topic. Whenever I’m in a relationship, this particular question always pops into my mind. Wouldn’t it be better for me to take myself out of that situation? Of course it would; but, at the same time, it’s easier said than done. Because of all of the memories that have been created and because of all of the times you’ve invested for that relationship, it takes a toll on your heart. It makes it harder to leave that person and it makes it harder to forget them as well.

Not everyone is the same. It may be easier for some people than others. But, from what I have seen and experienced, Love isn’t an easy thing. People are always getting hurt and relationships aren’t always fair. But, of course, if you really love that person, you’re willing to stick it out and fight through whatever to be with them.

It’s just always a tragic whenever relationships don’t work out because of lies, secrets, or miscommunication. I personally think that if the two people really liked each other and they were really willing to try, things would work out for the both of them. It’s all just really up to the two significant others. No one can tell them what to do but themselves and no one can stop them from doing anything but themselves. Sure, people can suggest things and give you their opinions but it’s really up to you to let what others say have an effect on your relationship.

I’ve seen multiple relationships fall apart because there was some sort of “intruding” and someone let others “invade” their relationship and/or privacy. It hurts me to know that two people who were so in “love” could let something so little tear them apart. But, not everyone’s perfect and not every relationship is going to work. I just wish that people would be a bit more understanding or have more faith when it comes to their relationship.

I mean what connects two people besides, faith, trust, and honesty? Isn’t that what a relationship is built from? And if the relationship does consist of those three, wouldn’t that make the relationship strong? How can it be so easy to tear two people apart? That’s the question that baffles me…
