You don’t have to be with a boy or girl to be broken up with, or to break up with someone. Families break up and friends can break up, too. It’s sort of almost easy at first to not give a shit, because normally there is some anger or hate involved and you’re trying hard to bury your pain. Then eventually, it becomes sad, because you realize you miss things or times and it’ll never be the same again. Even if you were to get back together, there is the known fact of the time when you went your separate ways-regardless of whether it was your fault or not. And finally you forget and stop caring because so much time has gone by that it doesn’t even matter/bother you anymore. You have moved on. There is another side of this truth. The hardest part about a break-up is seeing this person/people after years have gone by. Being at the same dinner table (for whatever reason/mutual friends) and having to know, at one point this person you are looking at was your best friend/lover. You knew

Supporting someone does NOT mean you must agree.. A common misconception in friendships and relationships....If I support you, I have to agree with you, and then I am being fake because I really do not agree... Who said you had to agree with the person? YOU DON'T! You...DON'T! You can support someone you love/care about and still not agree with what they are choosing to do. Support is simply you being there regardless of what happens...You believing in them, that they will in fact do their best and that is all they can do...You being there at the end whether it worked or failed...You will not say "haha, told you so" in case the plans don't go accordingly....support is many things..but it's not agreeing. How can you support someone and not agree? Well, it's easy! For example. Your best friend or sister [female] just decided she wants to be a stripper...You are very against this because of your personal/religious/whatever belief/morality. So, do you s

There is an old habit that many can't break, and don't even realize it's a bad habit. Cell phone usage at inappropriate times. We can do basically anything on cell phones today....Read the newspaper, update facebook, check the weather, calculate something, email someone, check an email, drop a class, check a grade, ect ect ect... Texting is the number one "distraction" that I am blogging about, today. I say distraction because... When you are talking to someone face to face and this person is checking their text message or replying to a text message, it's actually very, very rude. (I'm guilty of this, too, mainly when I'm around my boyfriend [sorry, babe!] but with friends I'm pretty good about putting away my phone). We may not realize this, BUT texting is a form of TALKING. So when you're conversing with your mother, friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, teacher, sibling, ect, and you get a message or feel a vibrate, the MINUTE you a

When someone plans to workout with a gym buddy, this is a path you don't want to be in. From personal experience and witnesses, it never will work. You will not attend and you will not get to your goal. Let me explain. When you join the gym or plan to and you feel you want a gym buddy to keep you motivated and happy that you have someone to work out with, you aren't going to the gym for the correct reason. Sure you WANT to work out and you intend to, but when you half rely on a friend to be there, each time the friend can't come, more than likely you will not go, either. Get to a point where YOU want to go the gym and you enjoy it as your time. Make it fun for YOU. Get some music, make a play list and just give yourself that time for you. If you see someone there, sure they can work alongside you, but think of it as a bonus. Nothing more. If you create this thinking of "I want/need a buddy" you won't ever succeed because no one is going to match your s
