Far From Perfect

My relationship is far from perfect but I would not give it up for the world. We argue about bullshit and laugh at things that make no sense. He gets mad at me and I get mad at him. We tease each other and make jokes that other people would find inappropriate. Our relationship is a roller coaster ride, we have our ups and downs. Despite our differences he makes me smile. If I tried to stay mad at him for 24 hours it would be impossible! I love when he tells me I'm beautiful, he has this way of making me feel like "I'm the only girl in the world". Making him happy has become apart of my daily agenda. He's more than someone I can call mine, he's my best friend. He's the person I run to when I feel like my life is falling apart (he's a great listener). He's the one I tell all my secrets to, he's my walking diary. We've been through so much, we have taken so many risk, yet we are still standing strong. I want this forever :)

Social Networks & Relationships

Lately, on Twitter and Facebook I've been reading a lot of tweets and status updates about ruined relationships. These people claim that Twitter and Facebook are one of the reasons they are no longer with their significant other. How many of us believe that social networks ruin relationships? I believe that social networks introduce us to new people, people that we wouldn't normally talk to in person. I also believe that social networks introduce us to new temptations; we are going to meet people that we might be attracted to and read things that we wouldn't normally hear about, but I do not believe that social networks ruin relationships. A lot of people get on social networks and forget about the respect that they should have for themselves and their significant other. I  frown upon people that know their in a relationship but get on social networks, especially Twitter, sharing thoughts that shouldn't be shared to the whole world; no one needs to know that you're horny, or the things you like or want to do in your bedroom (keep that to yourself). If you have respect for your significant other, a social network should not be the reason your relationship is falling apart. How hard is it to meet new people and be able to keep your conversations appropriate? How hard is it for people to join a social network and behave as if their in a relationship? To the people that blame social networks for their relationship problems, It's not social networks that are ruining your relationship, it's your significant other; he/she obviously has no respect for you or your relationship.

One Night Stand

When I first bought Keri Hilson's new album, "No Boys Allowed (Deluxe Edition)" I fell in love with every track! I'm so excited that she finally made a video for one of my favorite songs on her album, "One Night Stand"! I posted the video below...Enjoy :)

The Right Time

Is there a "right time" to commit? 

In many relationships the same problem exist, there's always that one person that's scared to commit. He/she will say things like "I'm too young to settle down" or "we're moving too fast". Every time you think you're making progress in your relationship he/she will bring you back to stage one. Most men/women are scared to commit or become too serious in a relationship because they've either been hurt in the past or they're not mature enough to handle a serious relationship. So when exactly is the right time to commit? I believe that a person should commit when he/she feels like they have found the right one. If you find someone that loves you unconditionally and you can not imagine losing that person then it's time to stop holding back, it's time to commit. Some people go years looking for true love and never find it; if you're lucky enough to find true love don't let looking for the "magic time to commit" ruin your relationship. You'll never find the magic time to commit because it doesn't work that way.

"Old-Fashioned"

One of the most difficult things to deal with being a 20 year old is being "old-fashioned". I'm not considered old-fashioned when it comes down to my taste in music or the way I dress, when it comes down to those things I'm considered a "normal" 20 year old. When it comes down to sex and dating men, everyone considers me "old-fashioned". Being told that I act like a "grandma" or that "I need to live my life" has become really annoying to hear all the time! When you don't live your life the way everyone around you is living theirs you're considered "different" or better yet "old-fashioned". I don't believe that I have to have casual sex to fit in; I also don't believe that I should be a "player" because I'm too young to be trying to settle down. Recently, I was told that I'm too beautiful to be giving one guy all my time, when I could be getting whatever I wanted from other guys as well; I was also told that I should not look at sex with multiple partners as something negative, I should enjoy my life. Hearing these things pissed me off to the point where I couldn't even respond to the bullshit advice that I was given. I enjoy being with one person, that's just me. I enjoy being in a relationship, I've always been that way. I have never been the type of person to mess with multiple people at once and I don't respect people that do. I'm tired of hearing people tell me that I'm too young to want to settle down. If I'm too young to settle down then I'm too young to be sleeping around!

...BTW I don't consider myself "old-fashioned", I just have morals and believe in living my life a certain way.

Female Drama

Female drama is one thing I refuse to deal with in a relationship. I can not stress how annoying it is to argue with your significant other about other women. I believe that when you're in a relationship you should always feel secure! You should never feel like another woman has the power to destroy your relationship. I hate when women approach other women about their man, I think that's unacceptable. If you have to step to another woman about the bullshit that your man is doing then it's time to move on. I believe that it is your partner's duty to make it clear to "other women" where you stand. How can you expect another woman to respect you and your relationship if your partner shows no respect for you or the relationship he has with you? The only person that owes you their loyalty is your significant other not "other women".

Addiction!

Quick Post: I've realized that I have another addiction, online shopping! Sometimes when I'm in the house I get really bored and when I get bored I go online to look at clothes; I always tell myself that I'm not going to buy anything I'm just going to look, but I always end up buying something! Today I spent $190 buying clothes! smh

March 7th 2008

3 years ago a King was born; he stole my heart with his beautiful eyes and big smile; I looked at him and whispered "I'm your mommy". I could not believe that this was the little boy that lived inside of my stomach for 9 months! I was amazed that this beautiful creation happened inside of me! I knew at that very moment that I would do everything in my power to give him the life he deserved. Chris is the little boy that I can call mine; the little boy that I get to wake up to every morning; the little boy that motivates me daily. Christopher is the little boy that gives me life. Happy Birthday King Chris!

Love Quote

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

-St. Augustine from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin

...I read this quote and automatically thought about my siginificant other; There are times when we argue so much that I feel like I'm going insane, but being in a relationship requires work! The feeling of being in love is amazing but staying in love is hard work. No matter how hard things get I've realized that our roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that we should ever part!

Tumblr

I found this picture on tumblr and thought I should share it with you guys on blogspot. When I first saw this picture I could not stop laughing; the funny thing about this picture is that I can name so many woman that can relate to it. I HATE when women complain about wanting a good man, especially if they had one or had the chance to be with one. We all know that one girl that wines constantly about wanting to be with someone that understands her heart, wanting someone that will love her unconditionally, or finding her perfect man; the same girl that complains about wanting all of these things is the same girl that had a chance to recieve it. We all know that one girl that had the chance to be with Mr.Perfect and did everything in her power to push him away for someone that did nothing but constantly break her heart; when she finally realizes that she had someone good she trys to get Mr. Perfect back, but guess what? It's too late.

Busy. . .

I know I haven't been blogging as much as I usually do but I have been so busy lately with school and my son! All my courses are writing intensive so I'm always busy writing a paper; my son's birthday is on the 7th and I'm trying to plan his birthday party that I expect to have at the end of March. I'll try my best to do a quick post when I don't have a chance to blog!
