"There was a girl who loved me, her eyes aquamarine. I used to dream I'd swim in them, the sea of blue and green. She didn't care about my past, or the trouble I had seen. But in the end she walked away, one lonely, desperate day summer day. There was nothing more for her to say, once she knew I had betrayed her with my pitiful disguise-there were just too many lies. Too much deceit had come between me and the girl who loved me, when I was seventeen."

Hey y'all!
I actually got to sleep in this morning, which was fabulous.
I figured I would take this opportunity to actually write something.

One night in Puerto Rico, I learned a lot about how differently people handle relationships. I guess I'll just make a list of the encounters I had with one particular couple and how many different things I learned about them, and a majority of other young relationships.
1) I've always been a loner. I've never had a large circle of close friends and outside of school, I've never hung out with that many people. I have two best friends and we can go a month without seeing each other, and still be perfectly comfortable with calling each other best friends. We are secure enough in our friendship to understand that sometimes our conversations are limited to only texting and facebook, because we don't always have time to be attached at the hips. Now, I'm in a fabulous relationship with a wonderful guy. However, my relationship does not get in the way of my friendships with my girls. He works 5 days a week and my girls understand that my weekends are usually spent with him. Our friendship is not harmed because we are so close. I believe that when people are in relationships, they should maintain the ties that they have with their friends. When people don't do this, I confront them and they usually don't take that well... Oops.
2) I'm a very independent person. I'm strong and I'm usually very good at defending myself. My boyfriend is protective, but he never steps in if it's not necessary. For example, if a girl decides to confront me about the way I've acted towards her, and she does it in a very nice manner, then my boyfriend sees absolutely no reason to step in. However, when a male that doesn't even know me, decides to call me bad names and my friends bad names, my boyfriend will do what he has to do in order to get the point across that I'm not the person to mess with. In my opinion, there should always be a line. A line dividing where a boyfriend/girlfriend steps in and where they don't. However, I guess some couples don't acknowledge this line..
3) Now this is just going to be a rant.. And I will apologize in advance. You have been dating for not even three months (?) and you already call them your everything, your world, etc. Uhm, hello? I know, I hope, you're smarter than that.. From what I've heard, your relationship is not healthy, and when I tried to be a good friend and talk to you about it, you shut me out and got defensive. I know you know who you are. Please, turn your brain on.
That is all... for now.
