love is blind

i'm not sure why God made us to be this way-- it seems as if when you really fall for someone, every little imperfection disappears. its been so long since i've really really liked someone that i almost can't remember, but i'm writing based on what i see in other people i know. this can probably be a very good thing-- if there are only minor little things that prevent you from being with this person, it helps you look past them. it can also be a very bad thing. for instance, this person may be physically or verbally abusive and you aren't able to see it right away because you are "in love." on a lesser scale, this person may be the worst person for you and everyone around you sees it, but you don't. and eventually this will hurt you.

i just see so many relationships or half relationships where people are getting screwed over. and there have been so many instances where i am made the bad guy in a situation because the other person is "perfect." because they are in love.

now this is me being a little bitter, but do i really have to be with someone to have them on my side?

and do i have to be supportive of a relationship because they are in love, when practically, i don't think that they are good for each other in the long run?

new and improved blog.

SURPRISE! i'm writing another blog. i know its been forever... and there's a reason for that, actually. i had kind of gotten to the point where i was tired of my blog. i just felt like i never had anything significant to say, and that i was kind of using my blog as a journal where i just revealed my feelings, what was going on in my life, etc. and i was tired of it. i felt like i just said the same things over and over again. lately, however, there have been a lot of issues that i've been wrestling with that i have had a hard time voicing, and i realized that my blog would be the perfect place to wrestle with those things. so here is my new blog entry, and hopefully the beginning of a significant change in my blog. so be prepared. and i really hope that people will respond... and not just cute little comments, although i always appreciate those, too. :)

to be continued...
