Hello Ladies and Gents!
I got to thinkin' the other night while chatting it up with my patna in crime, Amy, what is the real purpose to a relationship? What is it that you need from someone else that you cant get for yourself? Piece of mind? Companionship? Love?
Now, although Ive had my fair share of relationships, being single has made me realize just how much more fun I can have.. Ive had the opportunity to find out who I am since this is the first real time Ive been single since ohhh.. Nov '03? Not only that, but Ive made myself a better person (new pics to follow soon, stay tuned :P) and its given me time to heavily evaluate if getting into another relationship is right for me.
But on the real, is it not easier to actually accomplish what you want while you are by your lonesome? I make my own money, I have a car.. not too interested in owning my own home only because I see just how jacked the mortgage market is and I don't think things will be recovering any time soon. So with that.. HOORAY FOR APARTMENTS!!
Then again on the flip side, being in a relationship does have its advantages as far as being able to depend on someone to be there all the time, no matter what you're feeling. But where do you find such a person these days? Most guys only want 1 of 2 things.. booty or money. Take your pick gents.. I'm not gonna say that only wanting some booty is a real bad thing, as long as both parties involved understand what the terms of the arrangement are, there shouldn't be a problem or any misunderstandings. Really, when everything works out the way its supposed to, its an oh, so beautiful thing.. *sigh*.. moving on.
Anywho, this isn't intended to put anyone on blast.. so if you're offended by this.. you're probably doing something wrong. Take a minute, re-evaluate, get yourself back together, cowboy up, and keep it movin'.
I guess what I'm getting at here is.. what happened and at what point in time was it decided that relationships were basically a benefit of life? If you're in a relationship, how do you know that your relationship is free of third parties? With so many outlets today, its SO easy to be unfaithful and even easier to keep it a secret. May I also point out, if being with that special someone is important enough to introduce marriage.. why is it after month 3 or 4 its over? What is going on?
Now I'm not gonna sit here and say I don't want any part of a real relationship, because there is nothing I would love more than to have the adoring husband, 2.5 kids, family dog and the white picket fence. Am I going to find it.. I SERIOUSLY doubt it. If I do, then lemme give my hallelujahs and amens now cuz I'm sure myspace wont be around once it happens.
So.. quiz time kids.. If you have been paying attention, Ive asked a boat load of questions here and if you think you can provide me with an answer to all of them, then by all means! My eyes are wide open and to those of you who have my number.. my phone is on! Please help me try and understand this!
All comments are appreciated here people!! Thanks!
