Update on My Opinion on Relationships

Hey guys! Holy moley, it's been a really long time since I've written anything. And I mean that in the sense of... not just my blog but for my entire life. I haven't written anything decent since December 2011. Yeah, fun, I've felt less and less like a writer but I gotta keep that fire inside me alive somehow so I'm deciding to get back into blogging. I've been extremely busy and have had some problems that have kept me from doing a lot of stuff and this year has been very interesting... But it's almost over so I can take a deep breath after testing is over!

Today I will be talking about my updated opinion on dating/relationships as in with the opposite gender. And when I say updated, I mean that I've talked about this before here. But now I have a bit more to add about that entire subject.

I am a veteran, you could say, with relationships. Sorta? I've been in one, experienced "first love" and had my first kiss and everything, so I can say I've been there and done that. And I've also experienced the first break-up. That was a lovely feeling. Trust me, it sucked.

Blatantly, I will put this out there: don't start dating at the first infatuation or the first crush because more than likely, it will not last. I know most ya'll aren't in high school - of course, there are a few that are. But as teenager, we do not understand love. Love - as cliche as it sounds - is extremely powerful and teenagers do not understand the concept to its full definition. You may tell someone you love them and you'd do anything for them but true love isn't like that. If you want my opinion, you need to have a lasting friendship before you jump into a relationship. I'm not going to be making any personal references for myself because I promised myself as of three days ago that I wouldn't speak or think about the subject.

A few tips:

Don't open up your heart too fast.
Let things unfold, don't force them open. Take your time.
Keep good communication rules because relationships are always ruined - most of the time - by communication issues.
Wait until you are around sixteen, seventeen, eighteen to start dating.

I want to have a talk about Middle/Elementary school dating. It doesn't count... really, it doesn't. It may seem like true love but it's not. You guys don't really understand what dating is. Dating is basically saying you want a deeper relationship with the opposite sex and holding hands and doing everything with them is typically just for show. Dating is very complicated - trust me.

Here are some tips for people who are heart-broken. 

Know that it is normal to feel that way. It's not fair to have your heart played with and then watch as someone steps all over it before leaving it behind for the buzzards. I know that personally. Getting over a break-up can take a long while. Feelings and emotions and memories are the hardest things to correct. I envy those people who can get back up from a break-up like it's nothing. I wasn't able to do that.

Getting over a break-up, I'd say on average can take up to six months and maybe to eight but after a year, I think that's just getting a bit too obsessive and creepy at our age so at that point, I would really hope you consider and I suggest that you just get over it. But it's okay to grieve and sometimes you can't help but let it dominate your life. It's normal for it to do that but you can't let it do that forever. My break-up took five months to recover from - an eternity to seems. March 2012 has by-far been the worst month of my life for different reasons.

And if you're a twelve year old with a broken heart, what? Did Barney get cancelled? I hate to be bitter but twelve year olds shouldn't be dating and having broken hearts. We have been or all will be twelve at some point in our lives but to those who insist on dating at a young age - you should really consider trying something else because you need to live and experience a bit more before you jump into those lovely realms.

All righty, since I'm back in business, or I hope so, I want you guys to give me some ideas because I do have a few but I want to know what YOU guys want me to talk about. I'll be talking about the Revolution of Spongebob and that's all I got so far.
