Take a Moment, and Appreciate Life

Ahhh wasn't that nice? I just took a moment to appreciate life. This is the first of probably many appreciation blogs because I feel that people do not truly appreciate their life, situation, relationships, friends, etc. But today I implore you, take a break from your hectic life, and just appreciate life. This is advice I need to follow, so I'm doing it right now. But specifically I want those of you with that special someone to read this and take it to heart. Oh and yes, this will end with a Scrubs scene so deal with it.

Yay back-to-back relationship blogs! But I want those of you in a wonderful relationship, to take a moment and appreciate it. Those of you complaining about every little tiny thing, stop that. Yeah there's things that bother you, but look come on now. Okay so he doesn't text you back every single time you text. What time is it? If it's early, well no shit he didn't reply, if it's late, and I mean really late, well no shit again my friend. He does sleep ya know? Unless it's my roommate Kevin... he doesn't ever sleep. But my point is there's a reason that he isn't replying. Maybe you're right he is ignoring you... but most likely no. But my broader point is don't expect everything to be perfect, or for your partner to answer your every beck and whim.

My next bug complaint here has to do with attention. I absolutely hate with a deep burning passion anyone who complains about not getting enough attention. What the f**k are you, a dog? Who cares!?!? He has work, school work, big exam to study for, HE CAN'T SEE YOU. So deal with it. *Oh the He used is for proper grammar, unspecified sex is he, none of this he or she nonsense. I'm not attacking the ladies here, guys are just as at fault.* But not every waking moment of your life can be spent with your partner, it's a fact of life. Find something else to occupy your time... no Riley don't do that... but seriously, you're not a puppy, you don't need constant attention. If you do... then sit... roll over... good boy here's your treat.

But seriously people, every single relationship will have problems. Yes yours, and no yours isn't "special" or "different," you will have issues. It's how you deal with them. Are you gonna just bitch and moan, or are you gonna work through it? Are you going to just give up, or take a second and realize how lucky you are to have someone that's always there for you, that you can call yours? Take it from someone who doesn't, those problems and little fights are much better than the silence of being alone.

So I implore you, don't take for granted your relationship. Appreciate it, cherish it, and most importantly enjoy it. It won't last forever, but it may last for the rest of your life. Just don't take for granted being with that special someone, work past the little faults, and make it something special.
