Wow, I'm just a blogging machine today!
I was asked some very interesting questions today. I was asked if I thought relationships should ever be work or if it should just make sense from the start. I pondered this thoughtfully for a second and I think that every relationship is going to need some work simply because nobody is perfect. There are always going to be things that bug you about the other person. Relationships are about understanding and accepting the other person for their little flaws but still loving them unconditionally. However, that being said, the time spent "working" at a relationship should be minimal. I will NEVER compromise who I am to make someone happy, however, I'm sure there are little things that I can work on if they mean a lot to the other person. I have been told in past relationships that I haven't been attentive enough and that is something I never realized at that point. That is not changing who I am, but working at the little things that help keep a relationship strong. If a man ever told me that they didn't like who I was, what I did, what I was about then that relationship is not meant to be. Why get into a relationship with someone if all you do is spend your time trying to change them? It is obvious that you wished you were with someone else. I know that I will never ever try to convince someone as to why they should love me. All I know is I want to look at my other half and think 'hell yeah that's my boy' and be proud as fuck that he's mine and I expect him to think the same of me.
While I was at Zellers today waiting to purchase my new down filled pillows (which I look very forward to sleeping on tonight) I saw a couple in line in front of me with their kids and all I could think about was miserable they seemed together. The woman had a bunch of stuff on the counter, peanut butter, cleaning detergent etc. The man had a case of water and a package of toilet paper. The woman then picks up a loaf of bread and says "you can pay for this too..." and flings it on top of the dude's pile and it hits him in the face. She doesn't say anything.... he didn't look too impressed. It's one of those things where you laugh for acidentally doing that while apologizing. She didn't think anything of it and he just seemed pretty pissed. I have two questions.... the first one is why were they paying for simple household items seperately? Isn't a marriage a joint partnership? Something as simple as a $2 loaf of bread is brought to attention.... is it just me or is that weird? My second question is how did this couple not laugh about her hitting him in the face with a loaf of bread? Then that made me wonder how many people are truly unhappy in their relationships and how many people have settled with someone they only have lukewarm feelings about just because they're scared to be alone? Thoughts like this make me sad....
When I was driving home today I saw the most perfect sunset so I pulled over and stopped to enjoy it. It's the simple things that make life beautiful.
My best friend told me today that he couldn't wait for me to have a child because it would be the raddest kid ever. That really meant a lot to me. However, I'm too selfish and irresponsible to have a child at this point in time.
Life is good.
