The title for my blog this time is the title of the song I am currently listening to, it's purely instrumental, but it's techno instrumental, and I love it. I can only take techno for so long, but sometimes I get into those Basshunter moods and I can't stop listening to techno. Speaking of Techno, I love Daft Punk too, just saying.
Well anyway, I actually wanted to write this post for relationship stuff. No, not for me, for others, just some advice.
I know that I have random posts where I complain about being single, and I think everyone goes through that, but then again, I've had 20 years of being single. I have friends who are younger, and they are complaining about being single. Really? Why do we need someone to make ourselves feel significant? Why do we constantly have to compare ourselves to our friends who are in relationships? Unless they're deeply in love, not just lust, it's not going to last, and we are just going to watch them break up and date new people. I know it seems like right now that would never happen, but I've been through high school, I'd know just as well as anyone.
I was quite glad to have never been the friend that constantly had to talk about relationship problems, or brag about this or that with my boyfriend, I got enough of that from all of my friends. Now, I am also a woman, I think there's a different expectation of guys, so I'll address this next part for guys.
My good friend once told me that it was difficult to keep his thoughts pure because the friends he hung out with watched porn, or talked about inappropriate things, made inappropriate jokes all of the time, and it became so very difficult for him, that he stopped going to the school he had a scholarship for, he couldn't take the temptation anymore. I'm very proud of him for doing that, it's not easy by any means. Regardless, I gained from that a sort of understanding.
For guys, if you haven't had sex with a girl by the time you're about...what, a sophomore in high school maybe, then there's something wrong with you. It doesn't have to be extreme, but it seems like with guys and the pressure there, that if you're not dating and banging a girl, you're weird and it's not a good stimulus to have. This is a ridiculous way to think. If you have go get your self-worth from banging a girl and then bragging about "being a man" later, there's something more wrong with you.
So let me just say this as a shout-out to people out there: don't be in a hurry to date, God will provide someone for you when the time is right. Sure, you'll get depressed, down, dis-spirited, and that's when you need to seek out help the most, because good friends who are godly friends, will tell you that it's okay to wait to date. Just because everyone is doing it, doesn't mean you should jump the bandwagon and join.
And I'm not just saying this as a bitterness or anything, as much as I desire to have a relationship with a guy, both emotional and physical, I understand that when the time is right, I'll find him. Now, that doesn't mean I can't flirt before, and if I wanted to date for fun, I'd be open to that. However, I would establish that to the best of my ability before dating that person. As it were, I understand the feeling of being left behind everyone in the relationship department, I've been behind everyone for years in that regard, but as my dad says, I'm ahead. Think of it this way, when you finally meet an amazing person you want to actually legit spend time with and be with, you bring with you the emotional baggage you had before you dated them: I have no baggage to bring into a relationship, and that in and of itself is very rare. And if you've kept up with my blogs, you'd know I've not been in short of admirers and guys who wanted to date me, so it's not an issue of there being no one to date.
Anyway, just wanted to say that. Well, ciao.
