You never lose by loving, you always lose by holding back

Love

When looking at Merria-Webster On-line (always good source for defining things), I found that there are 24 entries for the work LOVE. Kinda strange, how one word could mean so much and so many people use this word and not know the grammatical meaning... Well here it is for you...

When your in love with someone all those things are wrapped up into it and more wouldn't you say? It's so strange that two people who went 20,3o, 4o years maybe more maybe less for some with out knowing a significant other and hopeless fall in love with them.

Sometimes love doesn't always mean a 24-7 happy high. If we were happy all the time and never got mad at the one we love we wouldn't be able to make up and realize how great you really have it. I know I do every time I get in a fight with my hunny. Yeah we bicker and get pissed but we get over it, sometimes in shorter amounts of times than others. But hey who doesn't. I think being with someone all the time too can cause that eurge to fight. I know I get to see Jason not as often as I wish I could, but you knowevery timee I get to see him even if it is for five minutes I'm soappreciatede and so happy just cause I'm with him.

I guess for everyone it's different. Might not be the fairy tale they dreamed of or maybe it more than their dreams, but in any case love is what you make of it. If itsplatonicc or romantic it all holds meaning dear to your heart.


Some people may have had badexperiencess with finding the right person, I know I have. I believe you have to meet a few wrong people before you meet the right one. I'm lucky enough to find that right one and so glad I have!!!

Friendship....

What is friendship?? Does anyone really have a definition of it? Well Webster says it is the following:

1. The state of being friends 2. The quality or state of being friendly 3. To Aid

What do you think it is? I myself think it is someone who is there for you when you need them no matter what time of day it is. It's someone you can trust with anything big or small and they won't judge you or run and tell others about your own personal problems. Even if it is something meaningless. It's someone who you can call up and talk to for hours and not even realize that time has flown by. It's someone you can trust to be there when you ask them to be there for you and not make you wait or not just show up without calling to let you know. They are those who when you are hosting a party show up hours before the others who are invited and help you prepare and those who stay hours after the party to help clean. It's someone you can call up and be like you wanna take a ride and they don't think twice about where you are going, what they look like, and is waiting on the corner for you because they want to "hang out" because no matter what you are doing with them it's always a blast.

You maybe thinking to yourself you have one maybe two people in your life that are like this, maybe more, if you do your extremely lucky. It's hard to trust people now a days. Yeah I'm only 23 but I can honestly count the people in my life I can trust with anything on one hand and some over flow on the other. Those people are the ones who never have deceived me, hurt me, or thrown me to the side once they have gotten what they wanted. They aren't jealous, ashamed, or disrespectful in anyway to me or others who are important to me. They don't run and tell people things when I'm blowing some steam about a subject. I think a lot of friendship has to deal with maturity and experience. As you get older things change, people change... Why?? Because it's life, and life is unfair. Sometimes people are stuck in the high school world and always need that attention that they once had shining on them, or they just can't accept the fact that others have grown up and it's about time for them to.


We all have friends, some close, some acquaintance , some like siblings. Just remember to watch out for those you let in your circle, because if you realize it or not you give them trust and respect, but once they do something that hurts you or disrespect you it takes a lifetime to gain it back. Even then a lifetime may not be long enough. Just try not to let the bad ones in. Yeah that's hard because you never know which ones will be the best of friends to you and be worthy of your trust, but make sure you always let the good ones know how good they are. Because those good ones you can't replace.

This blog post has taken me awhile to write. I added more and more day by day. It seems as days go by you really see who is your friend and who isn't. I've come to realize the best things in any relationship is that you need trust, honesty, and communication with the one you have the problem with. If you truly are friends with someone you won't talk about them behind his/her back and twist facts around. If you are one of these people, I feel sorry for you, because you are trying too hard to fit in. You'll never be like or wanted around others if you stab them in the back. You may not think the truth will ever come out, but it does and always will, that's a fact. Oh and being two faced and denying it will never work either. Just remember if you do stab people in the back, watch out for those who you do, because some aren't so forgiving if you hurt them, they bleed, and will make sure your lesson will be taught!!
