What is Love?

I'm supposed to be in my Math class, but we didn't really have anything else to do, so I decided to get on the computer and write. However, it's getting a little late into the period, so, I don't have a lot of time.

But, there's a few things I have on my mind, and I was wanting to share these with other people who are in a relationship - long term or otherwise (except for maybe just FWB's) that people should think about before they move on with their relationship.

You should already know about their goals, their likes and dislikes, (or learning them) that he or texts at 2 in the morning just to say goodnight/I love you, etc, but you may still feel a little insecure. Here are some questions I have had, and here are some of my thoughts:

• Is he or she who she really says she is?  Their friends that they keep, and the activities that they do throughout the day is usually a good way to see if someone is who they pretend to be - a nice person may volunteer, while a closed-off person may work all the time.

• Is he or she true to you?  Well, don't jump to conclusions in any situation. The best thing to do is be sure in yourself. If you're confident in your relationship with your significan other, the better your relationship will be. If he or she looks at an attractive person, don't get discouraged. It's okay to just look.

• Are they not giving you enough attention? Once again, don't get discouraged. They could be busy at work or busy with school, perhaps both. The best thing you can do is be there for them during the time, and when they finally have free time, go out, do something with your spouce! It'll show them that you can stick with them through tough times.

• Do they text other people when they're around you?  Obviously, if they're texting other people when they're around you, it must not be too bad, right? They're not hiding anything, so it's not bad. If you feel like they ARE hiding something, however, just say "Hey, can I look at your phone?" But, don't just say that, say "You can look through mine, too, if you want." It shows that you're curious, but if neither of you have nothing to hide, then everything should be alright.

That's all for now. If any of y'all have any questions about relationships, or anything else, I'd be happy to help. Just leave a comment or whatever and I'll get back to you in my next blog.

Lies Make Friends

Song: Riot by Three Days Grace
Time: 2:03
Mood: P.O'd


I'm in my Yearbook class, not really working on Yearbook obviously. It's opened in a different tab, but I'm not really paying much attention to it. I'm the editor, I have a role to fulfill, and I need to get my act together, but it's hard to talk about when your best friend since 3rd grade is being...naive.

I wrote her a note last week saying that her boyfriend may or may not be what he says he is. I chose the note format because I cannot really express my feelings well through words, and I didn't want anyone else around to hear about his potential lies. She further ignored me for the rest of the day. I was expecting SOME anger, but not enough to not talk to me for a whole week. She didn't say a thing at all.

However, she kept coming to school with her boyfriend's jacket, so I guessed that she didn't confront him - that or she had and found that he was innocent of the crimes that SOMEONE had said he had done. These, in case you're wondering, include, but are not limited to:

• Having a different last name
• Telling one of my friend's friends that he hated her laugh
• Having a one-year-old kid
• Being a complete and utter perv.
• Is not the age he said he is

But the girls I had heard this from insisted that everything was true. My boyfriend even knew the dude and said he definitely wasn't the age he said he his. Also, my boyfriend said that the guy is manipulative, which I'm afraid is happening here - that he's manipulating my best friend. It could be true, but anyway, back to the story...

I got to school today, and was still given the cold shoulder. Not a word, not even when she sneezed and I said bless you. Anyway, I wrote a note to my other friend, who said that her sister told her not to talk to me until I APOLOGIZED. Me? Apologize? Haha. No. Not going to happen. I told wrote that friend #1 could shove it up her butt before I did. Really, it was stupid. I was trying to be a good friend, and I even told her IN THE NOTE that I was not completely sure of the statements given to me, and that It may or may not be true. I said that. I don't deserve the silent treatment for trying to be a good friend, and I don't have to apologize for it either.

My friend told us to sit down and talk it out. We did. She sat there, mostly staring off into space, not really saying a word. She only said that she didn't talk to me because she "had nothing to say". She also said that she looked up the guy on FB, saying that it wasn't her boyfriend, and that he didn't have a "tattoo" like the guy in the picture. I found out later that she had lied. After our talk, she acted like everything was OK again.

Pft. Right. She can get herself hurt, but I warned her. I'll even be a good friend and not tell her "I told you so" when that time comes.

I'm signing off and hope you all have an amazing day. :) Here's a pretty picture from my other blog, theartinourhearts.blogspot.com to brighten your day:
