"There is no such thing as a perfect relationship, and the most successful ones are between people who regard themselves as individual, independent entities, rather than someone else’s appendage.” Sally Brompton
When we are being ourselves and doing what we love to do, we lose track of time and we are happy. Is it not happiness we are looking for? Time does not fly when you’re having fun, it stops. This state of loving who we are and what we are doing is the nucleus of free Will, peace, love, and creativity. Through our own natural cycles and the feelings they trigger, we can recognize who we really are and what we really want.
Who we are and what we want determine the personality of our Will, which may be very different to the personality we present to the world. Often, we are so busy trying to “create” personalities which we hope will live up to the expectations of others, and doing things we don’t even enjoy, that we have precious little time for attaining our real desires. We imagine that love comes from our relationships with other people, and we often fail to realize that love must be given in order to be experienced, and that love has many different forms.
If you are unhappy with yourself and with what you are doing in life, you will reflect your dissatisfaction to those you love. Then you will suspect that the relationship itself is the reason you are unhappy. So much true love is lost because people believe they are no longer free when they are in a relationship. In fact, the first thing we seem to do when love enters our lives is to place rules upon it and chains around it. But when two people love and trust each other and remain free and independent individuals, they reflect their personal satisfaction back to each other - and the love thrives. This is as true of relationships with children, relatives, and friends, as it is with our romantic partners.
Some people are afraid of love. They believe that love hurts. But this is not true. Love is incapable of inflicting pain. It is the loss of love that hurts so much. And it is our fear of this loss which causes us to hold on to love too tightly so that it cannot move freely between the people involved. And that is where guilt enters the situation and begins its slow and deceptive process of tearing love apart.
If only i knew what to do... :(

Anh.Letts: Courage of Friendship.
"Friendship is only lost once you have the courage to let it go."
Wow, talk about a ton of bricks. When i came across this quote, i like wow. I mean its so true though. Once you feel like you want to give it all up and come to the conclusion that you can, then the friendship is gone. If you lose the will to fight for it and what not, then what are you going to do? You cant convince someone to keep on fighting, i mean you can but it will be so futile. That totally sucks. I dont know. I really dont want to say what i am exactly thinking or feeling. However it pretty much wraps into confusion and disaray.
Do I have the courage?? Does she?

Anh.Letts: Comedians are sooo deep!
Try to love someone who you want to hate, because they are just like you, somewhere inside, in a way you may never expect, in a way that resounds so deeply within you that you cannot believe it.
--Margaret Cho 03-11-04
I totally believe most of this quote. If you stand back and think about the things you hate or dislike about people. Such as grooming habits or just annoying things, stuff like that. Its usually because thats exactly how you are. You tend to nit pick things about other people because you are exactly the same. However this isnt true all the time.
My main pet peeves in people are liars, flakes, and people who dont return calls. I know i dont lie as much as i used to. I really really try not to flake out, but i do sometimes, but not as often. Returning calls, i wanna say i do that but i need to return a call to my friend's dad, that i havent done just yet. Why? Im not totally sure whats going to happen and plus if i knew whats going to happen. I dont think hes gonna like my proposal much. However i will return the call this week? At the lastest will be Monday. I hope.
I do believe certain little things will seem like something so huge. That little thing will feel like a world of difference to you, but no one else will notice. Of course when you change, you want someone to notice it, so it can go acknowledged. However, most of the time it isnt. You find that person that makes you feel that way, and its a warm feeling.

Anh.Letts: Distance vs. Reality.
"Distance lasts a day. But reality lasts a lifetime." -- Dr. Laura Schlessinger
You can sooo take this many many different ways. When i read it, i took it as something dealing with a relationship or something. Not too sure, its a little obscure. Im just goin to leave it like that.
Does distance really make the heart grow fonder? or make the mind go wander?

Anh.Letts: Gotta have faith!! -- George Michaels
"Faith is hopeful ignorance."
Isnt that the truth? I mean cmon, having faith for something, generally something that isnt attainable or even what you would call physical. You are beliving in something that cannot be proved. Im sure the first thing you thought when you read the word faith is god. Believing in god, this higher power. However their are two sides to this debate, there is no physical proof about this higher power, but there is this book written on his word/life as experienced and told by Jesus to his followers. There's this verse in the Bible ive read, that said something to the affect of if you need to question his presense or if hes real, then something else. I cannot recall, i have to check my Bible for the exact quote.
Aside from the religious connotations, just everyday things. You gotta have faith you will get the job or that you will get into that college. Just hoping for something you cannot control or do not know anything about.. However faith is what usually keep us going in this harsh cruel world. Which leads me to something that has been said way too often and a good cliche, but fits the mood of this entry.
"Ignorance is bliss."
