Our pasts do not define us.

Our pasts do not define who we are, they explain how we got here. We all change, we mature, we grow, and we learn about ourselves and the world. We all have done things in our past we wish to forget or we wish would go away. Some people are unfortunate enough that these things precede who they are. We are not our records, we are not our pasts. We can not be summed up by a piece of paper, or by the rumors that are spread about us. We all do it, I wish I could honestly tell you I didn't but we need to stop judging each other based on our pasts alone. Our pasts make us who we are, but they aren't a word for word account of who we have became. We need to stop and realize when we are judging someone based on something we had nothing to do with and sometimes we need to step back and make our own decisions. Bad things happen to great people. Bad people can change into great people if a bad thing happens, and the reverse is also true. Next time you meet someone in which you have heard rumors about, or have a bad rap with people you know, or even has a criminal record, instead of doing the easy thing to do and assuming they are a terrible person, take the chance to get to know that individual you may be surprised that not all people suck as bad as some people think they do.

Don't judge people you don't know, don't tell people they are doing the wrong thing based on what you know when you don't understand the situation, and don't give even shittier advice based on no information. Be a friend when someone needs to talk, don't tell them how to live their lives. We all deserve second chances when we are in a hole and we can't get out, and we could all use a supportive friend to help us through it.

Just me and you

Life is crazy, busy and wonderful. I am stressed to the max most days, and so happy others, some days I am so stressed I snap for stupid things I shouldn't worry about. Today is a huge deciding factor for the future of our relationship. I love him, and I can deal with this one day at a time. We can make it through anything because we are honest, truthful, and we make an amazing couple because of it. At the end of the night I love just being in his arms, life then seems perfect. Some days we have our arguments, and feel like strangling one another, this weekend he and I both seemed to be in crappy moods and we both seemed to snap on one another way too easily. We each have our own lives, and they don't always match up perfectly. We do not have the "perfect" relationship. However; we have one another, and at the end of the day, we try to make life more enjoyable. We aren't what people expect, we aren't hiding it, and we don't care what people think. We will get through whatever today brings for us, we will get through it together and that will make us stronger for it. Although I wanted to strangle him a few times this weekend, I truly feel we can have an argument without it destroying us, we both have our days where we end up on each others nerves so badly it's a losing battle. Hopefully soon, the phone will ring with good news.


So this is an edit : Today didn't go well, anyone feels like listening to me complain please talk to me, otherwise, don't bother.
