Some thoughts

[beatlesrule69]

With seemingly everybody from the graduating class of 2002 getting married, the pressure is on for us to grow up and settle down. People feel this pressure whether they are in a relationship that doesn't seem to progress anywhere, or freshly single, or even those that feel as if they have been cursed with an eternally single existance

Don't feel the pressure, now JoeJoe. I know exactly what you're talking about. I go home and see all the girls I graduated with are married or engaged or having kids. Makes me feel like my life isn't complete with those things. But that's not how it is. Your time will come, as will mine. I just keep waiting for it to happen. Just think of it this way: you have your whole life in front of you without being tied down to someone. You can travel the world, go live in NYC for a while, do what you want to do without worrying about whether your significant other wants to go with you or not. Everything happens for a reason, and in some weird way, everyone around us being paired up and having kids is showing us the possibilities we have while we are single now. Just saying what makes me feel better when I think about it. Go do what you want and don't worry about it, go for those huge goals! :) My advice to you is graduate, and go to LA and audition for SNL. I've always thought you would be wonderful for the show!! Don't let it get you down,

well, i firmly believe that love is a choice on top of feelings, because feelings can fade, and what are you going to do every time your 'in-love' feeling goes away? move on again and again? there are going to be days that you don't feel like you 'love' your significant other when they annoy you or make you angry. But when you make that promise to someone someday, you should choose to love them in spite of your feelings...and that's when it will truly last. Until you learn that, I don't know what else to tell you Joe. I'm not trying to lecture by the way, just wanted you to know. Also, If you want to persue what makes you happy, then do it! Don't let a girl get in the way of your dreams. I know i'm going to try my hardest not to let a guy determine my future for me. Good luck bud, you know I loves ya :) -kor

My blog was meant more as a look at people and love life in general, not mine at all. I am aware the feelings fade, I was just using mine as an example of how irrational emotions can be. Was I aware of how I felt? Certainly not. Only by self-realization after years of being uncomfortable when the subject of my friend's bf was brought up did I know that there was something there

It can be so confusing and it is interesting to look at what we thought we wanted to realize later how right it was that it didn't occur. And built-up emotions over a long period of time...I totally and completely understand that, when it is someone you have known for a long time and you are suddenly like, "why am i jealous?". OR someone you thought you were over and you aren't because you suddenly find yourself thinking about them although you haven't physically seen them in over a year...our emotions can lead us to do crazy things.

I just hope and pray for God to guard my heart for that man I'm going to marry, it is just so hard sometimes. I feel ya buddy. But you are right, don't rush it, you will enjoy your singleness!

I'm Trapped in a Glass Box of EMOTION!

I was JUST watching that movie tonight! I'm sure it was me that you were having the talk with that night when I was drunk and rambling about how good of friends you and Kurt and Courtney are. I always try my best to live life the best I can, I just tend to whenever I hit a rut, hit it hard like Rick James slapping his bitch
