What I Need In a Nutshell

I had a friend ask me what I wanted the other day. I can't really seem to explain that to anyone including myself. I do know that I want to make that special person feel loved. All I want is a person that can take care of me and that will take me despite my many faults. Okay so that's not all I want but that's what I need. .. let me put it like this

21 Things About Love

Romance is like slug bug (yes I know it's a wacky analogy. I'm a wacky girl). Everyone plays it differently. Here's how I like to play.
#1-Most girls want chocolate. I would rather a bouquet of crazy daisies.
#2- Dates don't need to cost a lot of money. In fact it's slightly awkward when they are.
#3-Short and sweet is just as good as the wild and crazy when you really love your partner. Sometimes it's even better.
#4- There is the emotion to love and then there is the capacity to love. Your capacity grows with time and experience. You can't love past your capacity.
#5- True love isn't achieved until the emotion love and the capacity to love grow together.
#6- You can never truly love a person that doesn't love you back. Reciprocation is essential.
#7- Old vibes create problems. Be careful who you give your heart to. You will always be connected weather you like it or not.
#8- You are not a bad person if you date your best friends ex unless you are doing it out of vengeance. Vengeance will hurt all three of you.
#9- Sex is for marriage period.
#10- Love doesn't need to be complicated. If it is complicated fix it!
#11- Talk. Words help create a strong foundation.
#12- The words I love you are sacred. Don't say them unless you mean them.
#13- to run out screaming is to be a coward. You can't fix a problem when you run away from them.
#14- It takes two to Tango. It also takes two to create an argument. It also takes two to love.
#15- One person can't always carry the relationship. You need to be equal partners. Both people need to take part in decisions.
#16- Don't do anything you aren't ready for.
#17-It's okay to take it slow.
#18- It's okay to think of yourself every once in a while. If you don't you're going to explode eventually or grow to resent the person you love.
#19- The words "Don't worry about it" does not stop me from worrying. It just tells me that there's something to worry about.
#20- Honesty is essential.
#21- Trust is also essential.
To tie in the last two when you're not in a serious relationship maybe you don't need to know every tiny detail. They will tell you when they are ready to tell you. Don't let it put a wedge in-between you even if it's a pain. Being pushy doesn't bring them closer it pushes them away. I might need to work on this myself....


Thoughts of a Graduate

I'm done! I did it! Look out world here I come. For those of you that don't know (I'm pretty sure that applies to none of you) I'm going to UVU in the fall. I got into the honors program and I'm planning on majoring in Social Science and minoring in Theater....I'm not quite sure how I'm going to fit the dance in. I love you all! Thank you to mom, dad, grandmas and grandpas, Andrea and Ben, Mike (who has been more of an influence than I think he knows), Teresa, all of my friends (especially Michael who saved my butt on a couple of occasions this past month (: ), and my wonderful teachers. I couldn't have done this without you.
