YPs we have a treat for you guys and girls today by way of a guest blogger by the name of YPChan. YPChan is a friend of mine via twitter (@chan_bam) and new supporter to the YP Movement promoted by YPBlogSpot. This young lady has a great spirit and positive outlook on life in addition to being gifted with putting together words as proof in her poetry. Hopefully this is the first of many YPChan guest appearances on YPBlogSpot. And without further ado, I present to you “The Door” by YPBlogSpot Guest Blogger, YPChan. In this poem YPChan paints a perfect picture of what happens and/or could happen when friends open “The Door”. Enjoy YPs and share your thoughts and comments.
[Intro: Have you ever had that one friend you were always curious about, but in all the years of friendship, you never pushed the envelope? It kind of makes you wonder what would happen if you opened the door to more…]
The Door
Can’t believe I opened this door
You and I no longer “just friends” anymore
Can still smell your scent in my pores
Rubbing the insides of my thighs – becoming sore
Spontaneity whispered inhibitions away
Allowing you & I to break invisible boundaries
Passion gripped my attention, awakening the carnality in me
Tail spinning feelings I didn’t want to concede
Fingers slowly tracing my lips
Inspiring heat between my hips.
I want more of this.
Could this one work be our demise?
Do I now have to walk around wearing a disguise? Read more »
YPs, tell me your stomach wasn’t in knots laughing at this clip. This is just hilarious. It’s hilarious because it’s TRUE!!! Whether you make a spectacle of it or not, we all know we have taken FB, Twitter, Myspace, etc., a little too serious, at one point or another. You find yourself over analyzing every little thing a person has done or said online. You check his/her page 13 times in an hour just to see if he/she updated his/her status and who commented on it. You go through friend’s list to see if someone ‘looks suspicious.’ It’s all really NONSENSE. These sites are mostly visited out of boredom. People are naturally ‘nosey’ so they want to see what others are doing. DO NOT become a statistic and let one of these ’social networking’ sites RUIN YOUR RELATIONSHIP!!! The sites instigate insecurities and jealous behavior. Keep it together!!! Don’t drive yourself crazy looking for ‘dirt.’ I MUST ADMIT THIS CLIP IS HILARIOUS AND TRUE!!! Just don’t let it be you!!! YPs Stand Up!!!
“Help others achieve their dreams, and you will achieve yours”

Hello YP’s! This great quote and commentary is provided by Ms. YPChannelP, a longtime supporter of YPBlogspot! She shows a real passion for giving back to others, because this is the point where she is at with her life. She believes that by giving back to others, you give back to yourself at the same breath. I very much agree with her assessment, and her positive outlook on life. Enjoy her commentary, and feel free to share your thoughts!
“Helping Others Is What It’s All About”
Helping others is what its all about! The fortifying reasoning behind it is it’s not about you. This will help you learn a lot about yourself, & your motivation in life. What is your motivation? Are you motivated by having power over people, and control? I’m motivated by God, and to help thy neighbor. When you come across resources that are beneficial to others, why not share? In order to be successful, we need to be uplifting to one another, and not always in competition. Read more »
YPs, we as humans, gamble everyday of our lives. Some people may gamble less or more conservatively than others, but we all gamble in some form or fashion. Any form of chance taking, is essentially a form of gambling. Many people take a gamble every morning when they leave there homes with 15min to spare and they know it takes 15-20min to get to work. They knowingly take the chance of being late to work and possibly facing disciplinary actions. People gamble on the roads everyday as well, when they speed up when the light turns yellow or squeeze their way into a turning lane, just before the turn. Some people actually gamble with money at the track and or casinos, knowing the risk of possibly losing their hard earned money. It is in our human nature to gamble, if only a little bit. Most things in life worth having, involve some type of gamble or taking of chances. The biggest gamble known to mankind however, is probably that of the human heart and one’s feelings. Read more »
The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one.
Joan Baez
YPs, I think that this quote is very true. Just think about how many friends or associates you may have in your life. Than think about how hard it may be to stay consistent in one love interest. I think it has something to do with being emotionally involved or attached. With friends or associates, the fear of being hurt is not as great as it is when your feelings are truly invested, with a love interest. Relationships are a huge part in all of our lives. Positive relationships are the key! Let’s all try to focus more on the ones that count more in our lives and not so much on the ones in passing. We all have control of the type of relationships that we build, so build strong relationships with the people who matter the most. YPs Stand Up!!!
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 »
One of the most pressing questions by women, when it comes to relationships, is ‘Why Won’t He Commit.’ Women are looking for a clear cut and dry answer to this question. The problem is, there is no Clear Cut and dry answer. All men are different and reasons for commitment issues vary tremendously. I cannot even try to tell you that I will touch on every reason, but I will try to give you some insight.
I want to speak on what sometimes happens early in a relationship. First dates, second dates and third dates should be basically fun outings. Get to know the person to see if you are able to enjoy his/her company. These first dates should be lighthearted and fun. Sometimes, women feel that they are in a space in their lives where they don’t have time to waste, so they ‘GO IN.’ From the first date, the interrogation begins and plans for the future are being discussed. Sometimes this is just too much. I personally don’t know if we are even going to make it to a second, third or fourth date; let alone have you asking me about wedding plans, credit scores and school districts for kids. It’s not that these aren’t VERY VALID questions, it’s just that we need to spend a little more time getting to know each other first, before discussing such issues. However, when a man decides this is going too fast, he is labeled as a man who fears commitment. THAT IS NOT THE CASE! I personally need to feel that me and my partner are building something together. Don’t make me feel like, you already have your life set and you are just looking for the first possible candidate to come along and be the final piece you need for a ‘PERFECT LIFE.’ Slow down people and get to know what’s really going on before you are ready to give away the ‘KEYS AND SECURITY CODES.’ Read more »
YPs, I’m coming to you today with a serious topic at hand. The most “negative” force in a relationship is TRUST or the LACK OF!!!! A lack of trust can come from a number of issues. There can be some issues from a previous relationship that causes one person to have trust issues. There can be some infidelity in the current situation. Sometimes it can be as simple as one party listening to their friends, fill their heads with a bunch of negative thoughts. All of these reasons can be legit reasons in one’s mind to become suspicious. Those reasons may plague many relationships, but what I want to talk about are “Phantom” reasons. Sometimes, one party may just really be paranoid and causing unnecessary problems for no reason.
Men and women have a different take on every event that takes place between them, but there is a such thing as being irrational. Coming to a point when logic just seems to leave the body and stupidity takes over, is what will send a relationship to the pits. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong wit a healthy argument every now and then, but there needs to be a LEGIT REASON. It seems sometimes that women, especially, need to argue in order to feel normal. If you do not trust your mate, then work that issue out with him/her, don’t just pick at every little thing because you feel you have a right to. Let me tell you all something, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PICK A FIGHT FOR UNJUST INSECURITY ISSUES. Read more »
YPs, I think we can all agree that romantic relationships are a very important issue in our lives. Whether you are a man or a woman, there is nothing like having someone that you care about and having them feel the same way about you. In our lives, we encounter many people and may go through many relationships. Each relationship is going to be different in some form or fashion. Everyone is attracted to something different and may specifically set out to find those things in a potential mate. Sometimes we even are attracted to what we might think are completely opposite of what we want, WHY? There is something that cannot be explained sometimes, when dealing with potential love interests. Sometimes people just have “That It Factor.” Read more »
This is a two part question and your feedback is greatly encouraged???
Why is that when in a relationship, people’s logic seems to go out of the window?
How do two people experience/see/hear/witness the same events that cause an argument, but still come up with two completely different sequences of events the next day when they’re talking it out?
“Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle”
- Author Unknown
Seeing the events of a great man passing away yesterday, firmed my belief that we all have to be as kind hearted as possible. Granted we might not have the same global appeal that MJ had, but we all can control ourselves, and be that shinning light to those around us. Everyone is going through some type of battle, some more than others. Why not smile and be respectful, because you never know how far that can go.
