Someone once told me that love was too commercialized. He said that girls have this idea that some prince charming is going to come and sweep them off their feet because that is what society has taught them to believe.  I told him he was full of shit.  Then, when I really thought about it, I realized he's right.  Everyone time I find a good guy I

Be yourself

[anonymous]

I can say this sweetheart. Be yourself. Parents only want what they think is best for their children. However what they believe is best and what we believe is best are normally different. Be what and who you want to be. But only you can actually decide what the best is. Being single is great, gives you the self worth of working hard for what you got. Being in a relationship can be restrictive and demanding when your with the wrong person.

When you find that person that makes you whole, then you might consider settling down. But just don't settle for some one that makes you happy. Never settle. Find the one that makes you whole.

aye...you KNOW how I am Jen, and I feel the same way you do. I actually had a convo with Lahela, this past weekend about the whole having kids thing

Ya I know she is. I asked her once if she had that chance would she want to travel and see the world. Her response was, "No, I'm happy with my life the way it is" I told her that she was missing so much but we don't see eye to eye on things like that. She gave the example of a man with a family striving to reach the top. A man that wouldnt be happy till he was on top (of a company or something). Then, one day he dies and he was never fully happy. Then, she says, there is a person like me, (her) that doesnt strive for much and is happy with what she has and dies happy because she had everything she wanted in life. I didnt know what to say about that. I said I'd die happy knowing that I at least tried everything I wanted to even if I didnt fully accomplish what I wanted. If I didnt try, I'd be unhappy always thinking what if. If she's not going to be happy for me I'd just wish she'd keep her comments and cara's to herself

screw what others think, do what makes you happy...

Everyone time I find a good guy I leave because: 1)I think there is something better out there 2)I'm afraid of getting too close 3)I feel that my family pressures me into thinking I NEED to get married.

hindsight is 20/20 -- its hard to not put future "potential" on relationships. It sure is a hard deal to enjoy the now and look forward to a future without becoming slave to that. If you figure that one out , share your wisdom ;)

"please leave me alone"

=\ Lo siento chica - thats never nice to hear

I just wish I had my momma there to cheer me on.

cheerleading is overrated -- its their job to worry about us (no matter how old we are). you're graduating, passed the CBEST and are moving on to bigger and better things.. I know its nice to have the unwavering support of those we care about, but sometimes it gets lost in translation. Be proud of yourself and accomplishments. you're kicking ass right now.

Thanks Isa.

It was so hard to hear him say that. I didnt know what to do. I just left it at that. I didnt respond to him. Like I said, I know what he's going through. I went through it with M.

If my mom is not going to cheer me on I wish she'd hear me out before being so negative. I could deal with it better if she sat with me and talked about the negatives and positives instead of shutting down the whole idea. I know she's proud but sometimes I really need her to be there for me and she's not. It's always been that way though.I don't know why I expect any different. =\
