YPs, in yet another installment of my ‘Relationships’ series, I want to talk about what happens in that GREY area, between meeting someone and possibly becoming a couple. In talking with a few close friends of mine, I have come to the conclusion that ‘Dating’ is a lost art. Either it doesn’t exist when meeting someone, or it is terribly misunderstood and misused.
I hear people, all the time, say that they are just dating. What does that really mean? Does it mean that they are seeing multiple people without an official title? Does it mean that they are seeing one person without an official title. Could it even mean that they are having casual sex with whomever they want because they are not in an exclusive relationship. There is this crazy thin line or grey area that is not always understood between the parties involved. This can lead to a number of complications or issues between a prospective couple. I think that it should always be made clear what it is, exactly, that is going on. Leaving room for that GREY area, is a recipe for disaster. Read more »
YPRichB: As someone who truly loves music from all aspects (musical production to finished songs) I love gaining insight into artists inspiration and feelings on their projects. I’ve always been drawn to documentary style films because they are usually so insightful. I’ve never heard of K. Sparks before today but after watching this EPK (Electronic Press Kit) I’m definitely interested in checking out his music. Watch the EPK above and check out more info on the album below. It definitely seems like a worthwhile listen. Album available March 2, 2010.
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment”
Life can turn upside down in a blink of an eye, from a close person passing away, or from other unfortunate events. I’ve learned the hard way that you cannot go back and change certain events, or take the bad things you said to someone who is no longer here. You have to let it all go, for you to be the person you want to be in the present. I’ve seen people who hold grudges for a long time, or say things like, “if I would have done this”, “if I had this it would be different”. But in reality, all you are doing is hurting, and hindering yourself.
We’ve gone through situations, where we could have done things differently, that’s what makes up human. But at the same, I have learned that you can’t hold on, but you must persevere, learn, do, and be better, because of it. All we can do is concentrate on the present moment and events, don’t get to ahead of ourselves, do the best we can in the present, and have faith that everything will take care of itself in the long run. Have a good one YP’s!
