(here's a thought on relationships)
I'm really proud of myself..
That I don't rebound like some people do.
I'm goin 3 years single (and trust me I've had a lot of opportunities not to be), and it always astounds me to see how some people rebound into new relationships within a week after the collapse of a relationship.
Nothing against finding love.
It's just interesting that for alot of people, being in a relationship is a security thing. Something that either keeps them focused on somebody else's life and away from their own (and ultimately their problems), or someone that is there as a security blanket, a placeholder for someone else (ultimately someone who is disposable upon leaving a job, area, or school).
Out of luck of personality, I've managed to avoid jumping into things that I wasn't ready for, and I will say this about what I've learned..
It is SOOOooo true what they say about needing to be comfortable with yourself before getting into a relationship. It took me a while, but I really have no desire to be in a relationship for the sake of having somebody else for "valentines days" and holidays and all the other. And ultimately I'm comfortable with life, my career path, and my mortality.
I don't live in fear of the chance that I might not find some mate to go and produce little Nathan Jr.'s with this year or the next. I'm happy being me, and finally living life!
