The Relationship Post

I'm typing this as I eat a Kit Kat Bar bought by my mother (thanks! It tastes even better because love is the secret ingredient). As you can tell from the title, this post is about relationships. "Ugh, why bother reading?" Naw it's not one of those lame posts about the end of a relationship, the start of a relationship, or even an ODA of "I love being in this relationship!" The truth is, I'm not even considered to be "in a relationship." Although, I'm about to change your mind about that. I'm in tons of relationships at this very moment!

Why does everyone place so much importance on romantic relationships? When I hear the word "relationship" I automatically think of a boyfriend and/or girlfriend, fiancés, spouses, or any other number of "beloved" people. The true definition of "relationship" in this sense is a "connection between persons". At this present moment the  connections between me and different people are innumerable! I have parents, siblings, friends, best friends, acquaintances, mentors, associates, and even a nemesis or two... General good advice says to create relationships with people of each gender and every age, at every age. It could be said that the work of our life is to create positive relationships. My status may not be "in a relationship" and it's certainly not "complicated." I am in the process of maintaining thousands of relationships, plain and simple. Although a lot of people my age are pursuing romantic relationships, that is not what I'm looking for right now. I am satisfied with making all other sorts of relationships and letting the romance happen at the right time and under the right circumstances. That's it. I thought you would like to know that.

Quick Life Update:

• I gave up Facebook for Lent, so don't think I'm dead because I'll be back on Easter.
• Also, I recently had four zits that created the illusion of a diagonal line across my mouth like this:

I came to this conclusion: If I am to have zits, I would rather have them make a picture.
