I never really had a fairytale idea of life, if you knew the way I grew up you would know that I didn’t have a fairytale book life nor did a lot of people, however, when I do meet a person who has parents that are still married and raised them together in one household I do wish I had that for my children. I wish that I had that for myself sometimes. The problem with hoping for that is that I grew up just fine raised by who I was raised by. I am happy with who I am. I am happy that both of my parents love me and I am just fine with the fact that the reasons my parents were divorced were reasons I would have …

Relationships like Parenting
I think of a relationship just like parenting, every day is a learning experience. You see I never really had my eyes wide open in a relationship, I didn’t expect perfect but I was guilty of really focusing on that imperfection that my partner showed. I am far from perfect myself, so why would I make such a huge deal about my partner doing things that irritate me? As we grow, each year we change as a person.

Here is my point behind my statement; I have done some thinking over the past year about relationships because it seems that is the biggest …
Choosing “Friends” Wisely
I have a real bad habit of thinking “friends” means those you have met who are nice to you. I also have a bad habit of trying to focus on the good in people. I know every single person in this world has a bit of good in them, and yes I do believe this of some criminals. I feel that, without making excuses, life situations make some people focus more on getting negative attention versus positive attention in life, but they deep down want that positive attention. Some people were just not raised to know that there is a positive. I can’t say I was raised to know a positive in life. I can’t say I had a bad upbringing, I mean I had two parents who loved me …
