Relationships: For All The Right Reasons.

Okay.
So you want a boyfriend/girlfriend?
I'll help you do this,
but first I need to ask you a legit question...
Why?
Why do you want a significant other?
Is it so they can complete you?
So you can have someone to lean on?
So you can stop playing Frisbee all by yourself? [If this is your reason, get a dog.]
Seriously though,
you have to ask yourself why you think you need someone else?
You've gotta learn to be happy by yourself,
because if your happiness relies on someone else,
what happens when that someone is gone?
Nothing lasts forever.
You've gotta go into every relationship knowing that.
If you're considering becoming someone else's "significant other",
I hope it's for the right reasons.
Reasons like:
They care for you over everyone.
They have your best interest at heart.
They like that when you're driving together you sing like a tone deaf loser. [Okay, they may not exactly "like" this, but they can tolerate it and laugh with you about it]
They make you laugh.
They get you.
You WANT to, but don't NEED to.
Those are reasons for being in a relationship,
not just to have someone to hang out with when you're lonely.
Do this for me:
Go do something all by yourself,
once a week.
Pretty soon you'll be able to appreciate yourself.
Because if you never learn to love you,
how are others going to?
Just keeping it in perspective.
Happy to help.

Love is a Dangerous Thing.

Just finished my biology final.
Now I literally never have to take a science again in my entire college life.
Assuming I didn't fail the class.
Pretty stoked about that:]
I didn't want to take this class,
but I figured it's better to just
get it done and
do what you gotta do.
No matter if it's fun or not,
because trust me,
a 10 week course compacted into 4 weeks is really not fun.
But that's just the way things are.
Sometimes you have to just close your eyes
and hold your breath,
and trust that you're gonna get through something.
Like breakups.
They really
really
really
hurt.
Seriously,
it's like your world just crashed down
when you break up with someone who you loved,
or thought you loved
or thought you'd be with forever,
or all three.
People dying from foreign diseases seem to have it easier than you
because you're dying of a broken heart.
Unless you're 80 years old and had been with your love all your life,
this probably isn't the case.
It's ok to feel like it is,
at least for a while.
You have to let yourself be upset,
for a while.
Everything must run it's course.
Just know that it will get better,
it always does,
even if it feels like your heart is smashed.
And if you feel that way,
I am sorry for you
because that really is the worst feeling.
Love is a dangerous thing,
because you can never be entirely stable with it.
There's always the risk of getting hurt.
But when you're not hurt,
isn't it the best thing in the world?
You will love again Line,
just let it heal.
And know that from every heart break,
you're closer to finding the one who won't hurt you.
Just keeping it in perspective.
Happy to help:]
Bee.

Try Harder

Ugh for realz?
Lesson for boy interested in girl:
Try.
Harder.
Or she'll peace out and
move to the next.
The line's long.
When it's your turn you better be ready.
That's all.
