I might be getting ready to share too much information for a blog (we'll see what I write), but you know who cares. So lately realtionships have been the topic of conversation.

When I talk to my friends on im, on the phone or in person it seems like relationships, whether they be friendships or romances, are discussed. We are human and thus create relationships with others, but do these relationships have to complicate our lives so much, consume our conversations and occupy a large part of our thoughts? Yes.

Life doesn't have to be that complicated, really it doesn't. We are the ones who create the complications. (Think though what life would be like without those complications.) Anyway, relationships aren't supposed to be easy and depending on the level of emotion associated with a particular relationship things can get more complicated.

[I always seem to give out so much relationship advice for not really having much real life experience to draw on, but maybe in my past life I had something where I draw my advice from.]

In my opinion: guys and girls can be friends, good friends without any romance (maybe some sexual tension); sometimes love doesn't last forever; the feelings might not always be mutual; and things always happen for a reason (even if we can't see that reason).

Someone recently told me "you can't always get what you want" quoting a Rolling Stones song. If you look at the next part of the song it says, "but if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need."

As of late what I want doesn't seem to be available, but I know I can get what I need or at least something to satisfy a need. (and who knows it might be what I want and I just didn't realize it.)

What is it that we all need? I know for me I want to have it all, but does that make me greedy? No, it makes me optimistic about the possibility of finding my soul mate or my true love, of spending the rest of my life with someone who gets me and I get them, it allows me to look into someones eyes and see the color of their soul. We all have the power to get what we need, we just have to make the move and go for it.

I joke with my friends that if I am not married in 10 years I am going to have a huge party so that we all can get together and party (something we would have done at my wedding if it would have happened in those 10 years). Gosh I hope it doesn't come to that-but who knows what fate has in store.

When it comes down to it, we all want relationships, friendships and romances. Each person we build a relationship with helps us with the next one we encounter.

Moving around so much as a child, I have had so many friends, many of whom I have not kept in contact with, but all who made me a better person. People come in and then walk out of our lives, so it is important to decide who we are going to build relationships with that will last forever.
