The forbidden fruit

Ask yourself, what is so appealing about something that is "forbidden"?  I mean it's off limits, you either can't have it or your not supposed to.  So why does that make one want it even more? 

Being forbidden makes one yearn for said thing, romanticize about it.  Make it seem like it is the only one of its kind, but is it?  Will it be as perfect as you imagine? 

Do you really need it? Want it? Can you really not live without it? Do you have to have it? Or is it just a new obsession because it's "forbidden"?

One can compare this to the good old fashion "Don't look, I'm _________." Of course now the person wants to look, they have to look. All because you said not to.

Be true to yourself, and always have a moral compass guiding you.

Karma is real.

Online Dating

As someone who has not been in a serious relationship since I called things off with my daughters father roughly 3 years ago) I have realized that as you get older, meeting people becomes harder.  So, I've done it, I've joined the online dating world and let me tell you it is hard! You basically need to sell yourself to make the opposite sex interested and then finding someone your equally interested in becomes a problem.  There are fees for the good sites so there's added costs to meeting someone online however if you do find someone, and the two of you are equally interested in eachother that's great!  

Until the awkward first meeting, which makes or breaks everything.  Then you can find out what they really want, is it a relationship? Just friends? Or the ever so daunting hookup? 

Stay tooned for my next post about trying to settle down in a hook up culture.

Trying to Settle Down in a Hookup Culture

I've always thought that I was born in the wrong era, I believe in there being someone for everyone.  I believe in loyalty and honesty.  Being with just one person and not giving up just because things get tough.  So why is it so hard to find someone who shares the same values?

We live in a hook up culture, where guys are to afraid to look bad in front of their friends, or too afraid to look whipped and girls are constantly looking for attention that as soon as their man gets a little distant or is having an off week they need to search for attention somewhere else.

I truly don't know how mankind got this bad, or how to start the change... All I know is that I want to settle down in this hook up culture ?!? 

Conforming to the "Norm"

In a world that's so diverse, how can society make so many people feel like there is only one "norm" in which they must conform?  I feel like some people conform simply because they want to be accepted, but who's to say the only socially acceptable norm is the one the media portrays? 

As a female I feel like my weight is not socially acceptable, like unless you look like a model you are just not pretty.  But I realize that what should be socially acceptable is being healthy, not overweight but not underweight. 

That's not the only thing I am talking about, some people think that everything is based on the way someone looks, way to judge a book by its cover... 

In this society we accept more, kids sitting in front of the tv playing video games instead of going outside to play, tattoos and piercings being frowned upon and discriminated against.

Our generation has given far to much control to the media.
