Relationships :)

So i have been thinking about doing a blog for a while but could never figure out what i wanted to the topic to be about but lately I've realized there is a lot of times ill think of something I want to post on facebook but decide not to because i may offend someone. So this is going to be the place that I just lay it all out! The first topic that I have been thinking about lately is relationships. Not just dating relationships but also relationships with family, friends, and even religious. Ill start off with family and friend relationships. Being a full time student and working part time makes it really hard to make time to go out and do things on the spur of the moment so I'm sorry to those that I have not gotten to spend much time with over the past couple of years. Once I graduate in May I plan on being able to spend more time with my family and friends. I have realized lately the reason I am friends with the same people I have been with since high school. This reason is because they have been with me and understand my beliefs and respect them. I have made some new friends since high school that I know I can count on anytime I need them but I have also met people that can turn on you. So thank you to those that have been there for me :) Another relationship that I want to talk about is religious relationships. I know that I Do not go to church every Sunday but I do make it a priority to try and live my life in a Christian way. I have been told that I try to make myself look better than others and that im not the perfect person because I have done certain things. I have never told anyone that i think im perfect because I know I have sinned but you must also look at yourself before pointing fingers. I have also realized that I am greatful for the way my parents raised me by taking me to church every Sunday when I was growing up because it taught me the morals that I still hold true today. The last relationships I want to voice my opinion on is dating. I was lucky to meet my boyfriend over 3 years ago. I am so thankful that he agrees with my morals and that we see eye to eye on mostly everything. He is always there for me and supports my decisions. So thank you Chelsea for draging me to Hickory and thank you Justin for bringing John! I know some people do not have this kind of relationship...well actually they have the complete opposite. I believe that if you are in a relationship that seems one sided then in reality its not a relationship. Also I do not see how someone can be in an abusive relationship. If your bf/gf is being abusive do you really think he/she cares for you and your well being??? Also if he/she makes you change what you believe or who you hang/spend time with then there is something wrong because you need to be yourself not what someone whats you to be. They should love you for you. I'm not saying that if you are dating someone who is a drug addict or an alcholic that there is anything wrong with helping them stop, im talking about those people who make their bf/gf change everything about themselves. Another thing, if you keep having relationships that contunie going the same way you may want to take a break and look at yourself and see if there is a trend that you are causing. So in the end I believe that you should have a healthy relationship were each person is themselves and you should be supportive of each other. Also you need to have friends and family that support you and that are there for you. To have these things I believe you need to find YOURSELF because there is only one of you! "Compromising doesn't mean that your wrong and someone is right, it only means that you value your RELATIONSHIP much more than your ego"
