worth it. 

A wise woman once told me, “Sometimes when you do too much, it can back fire at you… But always think of his future as if it’s yours. Do things for him, do things for the both of you in the long run…” It’s safe and evidentially clear that relationships aren’t easy. Or maybe they are, and maybe I’m just crazy. However, realistically we can say they’re some work. How do we live in this world and try to remain sane all while being tied to someone else? It’s tough. You’re not perfect and neither is the person you’re journying through life with. In this sh*tty world you have to find someone not so sh*tty to have your back. I’m one person that can say “I’m not good with my words.” And sometimes that’s okay, sometimes it’s not, but sometimes it is. It’s okay to not verbally speak what’s on your mind. Because sometimes words kill it all. It’s the actions you do that should make someone understand that you’re there for them. I’m not someone who is always jolly and cheerful. I have a bad attitude and I make mistakes. However, I am someone who will always have your back, even when you don’t think I do. I’m someone who is thinking of the best and hoping for the best for you and your future, even when you don’t think I’m contributing. I’m the type of person who cheers for you on the inside so you don’t get all big headed and think this is the finish line. 
I am someone who appreciates, respects, and loves hard. But maybe I should express my feelings and thoughts aloud more often. I understand I’m not perfect and accept that. My heart breaks when people I care about think I don’t care about them due to my stubbornness and lack of emotion. But those who know me and those who understand me, know that I am working for myself and those I love. I have every single person’s back that I care about because I know they have mine. I’m stubborn and probably not worth it to many, but I’m worth it to myself and that should be good enough for anyone. 
I’ve found my not so sh*tty person in this sh*tty world, and if you’ve found that person too, push everything aside: the stubbornness, the attitude, the lack of affection and emotion, and be there for that person just like you want them there for you. We need to realize that we are part of a team, and now it’s all about “ours.” 

Technology.

So, while talking with a friend, we realized that technology plays a big part in relationships- mainly a negative part, might I add. I can’t speak for males, but I can speak for myself. And when I speak for myself, I’ve realized I’m also speaking for a lot of females. Before technology, dating was so simple. You just got to know someone. They’d call your house phone, or just show up. Now, us girls find ourselves constantly checking our phones for that call, text, tweet, instagram tag, email, ANYTHING. And it just drives us insane. While talking to my friend, she said, “I’ve never in my life felt this crazy. Who needs FBI’s when you can just hire a jealous girlfriend.” How true is that? Jealous girlfriends are the perfect PI’s and that’s so scary because it’s technology that has pushed us to be this way. No matter how hard we don’t want to be this way, it just happens. You’re either driving yourself crazy trying to NOT look at your phone, or driving yourself crazy looking at it and waiting. The saddest part of the whole thing is that things will never be the way they were before technology. In fact, it’s only going to get worse. Technology is advancing every single day, it’s not decreasing. And even if you TRY to not use technology, you just can’t- it’s taken over everything… It’s taken over our lives and ruining the good things.
