You know... it would take years for me to go into all the things about relationships that suck enough to complain about. But I would like to address something. And that is the fact that a lot of you out there take your girlfriends/boyfriends, husbands/wives whatever, you take them for granted. So let me tell you a little story.
No, not a story about a man named Jed... no, actually the man in this story is named Jon. Now Jon is not your typical man. He is sweet and sensitive. He cried durring Braveheart. He's thoughtful and sweet. He writes his girlfriend poems now and then, and tells her he loves her about 20 times a day. He's so commited to his girlfriend that he wants to wait untill they get married to do the horrizontal hokey pokey.
His girlfrind loves him just as much, has no problem with commitment, also tells him she loves him about 20 times a day. In fact, they are a pretty sickening couple. They kiss while they're walking through the mall. They hold hands constantly, and tell each other how cute or sexy the other is in public. Now then, they sound like you're typical couple right?
Wrong. See, fact of the matter is, they may have been going out for way more than a year, but have only spent a grand total of 10 weeks of that time PHISICALLY TOGETHER. The rest of the time, she is in Massachusetts and he is in Arizona. And every moment they hae spent together cost them plane fare (Around $400 bucks for a round trip). Every phone call costs from $6 - $4 bucks an hour depending if they use 10-10-321. Most of thier communication is by email. They never take each other for granted. They cherish ever single moment they have together, wether dancing, or out at a show, or just on the couch watchin' a movie and pickin' thier noses.
In case you haven't guessed, I'm talking about me and my boyfriend. And I'm not trying to brag about how wonderful our relationship, or how absolutely wonderful Jon is, I'm just trying to make you out there realize something. And that is, if you've got your baby near by, tell them you love them. Snuggle up close, and spend every moment together like you'll never have another, because some folks got it worse than you.
Keep it real, and have a good time.
