In my Humble Opinion

1. Relationships

So I came up with this topic on my own and I'm not sure how this is going to go.

Most girls at my school go in and out of relationships with the same circle of guys. Which if that's their thing, they can go ahead and continue doing that. For me, I have only been in two relationships and don't even count the first one - I rarely even want to think about it.

To me a relationship should be something your proud of, not something you feel the need to hide or feel shame when it's mentioned.

Unfortunately for me, my forst "relationship" always had me feel like I had to explain, like it wasn't supposed to happen. I don't think I should have to cringe when the time I was with him is mentioned.

My second relationship was better. I was happy to be with her. I didn't have to explain, I didn't feel out of place. She made me feel butterflies in my stomach and I didn't want them to leave, ever.

That's what it should feel like, always wanting to see them because they lift you up. Wanting to be there for them because his/her happiness makes you happy.

Sometimes I wonder if my forst relationship failed because I dated a guy, I don't identify myself in any certain way; however, the second relationship that went so well was with a girl. I'm not saying her and I had a happy ending, but the duration of our relationship was something magical.

I don't think relationship are something people should stress about. Of course there's going to be a few bad times, but there has to be some pretty special times for any relationship to stay sturdy and stable.
