I see no difference in marriage

personally, I see no comparison between being in a relationship and being married. It's a "legal bond, a ring, piece of paper, comes with benefits."

there's a loop hole in everything, think your marriage is falling apart? It's okay I'll just annul or file for divorce. You can break up but oh no! It suddenly means more to get divorced than to break up.

The ring: a promise ring means just as important than a stupid wedding band. The piece of paper: yeah, people start caring more about your pledge to each other once it's in print. My relationship is that much more serious. Please, I took my relationship as serious as the day it began. It comes with benefits: you get a tax exempt and/or you are allowed to live together whether or not your a military couple. You can go on the same insurance policy and file jointly. The same can be accomplished if filing under a domestic partnership. It isn't much different if you lived together before deciding to marry. Choosing to marry because your partner lives in a different country or continent is a valid argument. One other thing I find to be a little silly is, why don't people celebrate their regular anniversaries? it's not like your relationship changed much.

I am not ready for marriage and won't be for some time. You can argue that since I am not married I do not know what it is like and/or do not quite understand. Try to convince me otherwise.

online harassment is a no-no

it's pathetic when someone resorts to the online community to harass someone. I've had it done to me. If they can't have the guts to say to their face than why would you read it online? It hasn't escalated too high and I just let it slide off my back. The people online don't even know you (in some cases...) They think they're all high and mighty when really you're the bigger person to not respond and "fuel the fire." No, most of my teasing was in the school setting and even then I tried not to let it bother me. I had my bad days and luckily my friends were there to support me. Most of the culprits are trolls anyway who don't have anything better to do so they pick on people online.

luckily in most places people of groups are recognizing that cyber bullying is not acceptable and has consequences

inhumane mother

so I don't know if everyone has heard that the Casey Anthony trial is currently going on but I don't understand how a mother can cause harm or even end their child's life? It breaks my heart ): As a representative/advocate for children's care; education, there is no logical reason for doing such a graveful sin. How can you be a good person if you end someone's life? It just makes me so angry and hurt that someone has the will to do that. Supposedly Casey didn't want to have the responsibility for caring for her daughter which explains the pictures of her partying hard a week later Caylee's death. Excuse me but that doesn't give you the right to end someone's life, nothing ever justifies murder. Being labeled "mentally incapable to stand trial" may well be understandable, but in my opinion a pathetic excuse. Also, why did it take a month to file a missing person's report? Right there something isn't right.


this reminds me of a time where I found a fascination with crimes of this matter. One case particularly a mother killed all of her five children by drowning them in the bathtub. I can't believe that for a second that I would possibly end up like that. I feel shameful as it is worrying that I'll screw up caring for another family's child nevermind my own.

what we choose to pass down

when it comes to that time in our lives when we choose to reproduce and raise our own children, we wonder what we'll teach them. Whether they be adopted, by surrogate or by natural conception; delivery. We wonder what we'll stories we'll share and what lessons we would teach. Maybe we'll pass down family heirlooms or other valued pieces of life. There are experiences we have had but wish our children will not endure. I could go on and on...

sweet music fills my ears

(this is another inspired entry from a friend, she makes good posts ^^ )
I think the reason why the music I like is because it helps me in times of need and no one is avaliable to talk it through. My boyfriend said I got him back into Linkin Park. For any of you who don't know the majority of my music taste is Alternative Rock and other subgenres. In turn, David got me into a little Techno and those subgenres. Before I met my lovely partner, I had a playlist titled "Easy Listening" and filled that up with any calming; relaxing songs that made me mellow out if I was tensed or had really bad nerves. Speaking of which, once I get my new computer (a present from my parents hopefully soon) I'm gonna hoard all m iTunes giftcards and ask for plenty more since I'll need them and repurchase what I haven't already on iTunes to make it legal and then transfer it all to my new computer.
