Just heard "No Better" by Sherwood on the Center iPod. I think it speaks volumes to family relations. Talks about a divorce, or at least a separation. Its from the kid's perspective. "I should have seen it coming I guess, you sleeping out on the couch, you on your half of the bed." How terrible is that feeling?
Whether one party is right or wrong is beyond the point here. In "Captivating" Stasi talks about the disruption a separation can have on a girl's emotional status. It says that even she is not capable to keep the relationship good. It makes her feel valueless. These emotions cascade through her life, causing her problems all through life that are very difficult to fix. Again, if you haven't read it, and you're a woman, please do.
I recently got a new journal. I was simply happy that it was a bound collection of blank pages that was only $4 and looked cool. I never really had much value for a journal, but I've been trying to make use of it (oh, and if you want to know who I *giggles* like.. like, more than a friend.. hehe *giggles*). I would encourage everyone to write in one. Not so you can have your emotions out for everyone to see, but to help you see where you are, and where you were back when. Ever so often I'll peruse my old blogs and see what I was feeling that day, or what concerned my interest, or what I was afraid of. I can see how far I've grown (by both grammar and vocabulary usage AND topics covered) and it encourages me that maybe I'm not perfect now, but it doesn't mean I'm doomed to fail forever.
[I almost burned my head on a candle when trying to get this book] In fact, I just read this morning, "Now, part of a man's fundamental reluctance to truly dive into the world of a woman comes from a man's deepest fear, failure" She goes on to say that men want to help, but only to a certain point. Even in marriage or long-term relationships, there comes a point where they almost say, "I think this is far enough. I'm not going to leave you, so you should be happy with that."
I think it's time for men to really step up to their A-game. When God made the world (up to Adam) He noticed there was just one thing missing to top off creation. It was Eve, the woman in the picture. Such a vitally important part of life. She is not only the only way to reproduce humans, but she has 'Relationship Expert' written on her forehead and an emotional comprehension that men are glad they can't access (let's face it, it's too much for guys)
Let's start fighting for the women. Lets start complimenting them instead of being passive or rude. Treat them with respect and dignity and honor.
And women, accept the compliments. Who cares if you're hair isn't perfect? I thought it was just fine, so smile and be happy you are pretty. Don't abuse our respect and honor. You are lovely creatures, so act like it
