Balancing Hobbies: Relationships

It is an extremely hard task balancing a busy, task loaded life and a relationship with someone you love and cherish. You know what needs to be done, but you also want to give the person you care about all of your time and attention. I want to talk about the relationship that I recently just experienced that unfortunately crashed and burned with an unrelenting fury and never ending burning passion. Loving someone is extremely difficult when you are overburdened with a large amount of schoolwork and other overwhelming responsibilities such as work, healthy living habits, or other things that consume your time or space. Being there for someone is difficult and if you do not want to make the sacrifices, then you do not need to be someone else's "love."

Making the conscious decision to care about someone else is an important decision. Whether you know if you are ready or not is something that you need to feel in your hear, in your mind, and in your soul. Believing whether or not you are ready cones from a deep decision inside yourself that you have to be sure whether or not you can allow room inside for another person's existence. Making compromises, having arguments, growing as an individual and as a couple; these are all things that you need to be sure you are ready for as an adult who is trying to accept someone else in your life and your heart.

It is very obvious that I am someone who recently went through a breakup if you cannot tell. I am somebody who wishes that the person who made promises and someone who told me everything that I wanted to hear was someone who wanted to be with me for real. The things you say tom someone in moments of compassion and vulnerability are meaningful and they believe you when you make promises of compassion and love. I believe love is an important part of growing and becoming an adult.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
