Why Women are Masochists.....

I like to think that I was programmed a little differently than every other woman but that's probably just my narcissism talking. I don't get offended by every little thing, I don't like to wear cute outfits unless there is a boy involved or just a "girls night out". And I also don't like it when girl's bitch about situations that can easily be avoided.
Speaking of....I have a friend and we'll call her "Project A". She is in quite the sticky predicament. She's been dating a guy for 7 months and loves the fuck out of him. But as always with men, there is a catch. Upon meeting him, he was gorgeous, tatted up and everything else she found attractive. He initially gave a great speech of being wonderful and divorced. Her, a college student with a great family and usually a "knowing better" kind of gal. She fell in love with this man who she thought would be her everything. Come to find out, he was still married but "legally separated" though still living with his ex for his daughter's sake.
The question is- when so invested mentally, physically and emotionally, when is it time to give up and realize that it's ok to cry and it's ok to move on??

My opinion..... it is better to love than have never to have loved at all. And I'd rather be alone, be baggage free and work on being smarter about men than be in such a shitty situation. But love is love and I am no one to judge because I have been there when it's so hard to say "enough is enough". However, I finally said it and now I'm better off and I love myself and the people in it even more so. Hopefully she finds her way. Love you "Project A"....

1. Knowing that you have lived and will continue to live life to the fullest and during your self-indulgence and discovery, you realize that you have become the best person possible so that when the right person comes along you have no doubts about yourself, what you want and how wonderfully lucky this person will be to have your love

It's strange how life unravels. But I must say that it's true when people say "with the good times come the bad times." I'm a 24 year old undergraduate student at Texas Tech University and it's has been an interesting 24 years. Hopefully, as this blog continues, I will be able to give more insight into what I have experienced with each new issue I have to write about. But today, I shall keep it simple.



As I was grabbing for a tampon today, I noticed it had an inspirational saying on the wrapper... My first question is; when a tampon is telling you "Live your dreams", where has all the excitement gone from living day to day? It's almost patronizing to see this small writing just staring me in the face while my uterus feels like it's closing in on itself.

I'm living the ridiculous college life balancing 2 jobs, a full class load and friends. My current "dream" is probably to get laid as soon as possible to relieve some repressed stress which this tampon is preventing. It also prevents me from being nice to people which again, hinders my initial "dream" for the week. All I'm really thinking about it is in 2 days, I can properly sort out my prospects and go from there. Being a single, independent woman in college it kind of tough. We'll see what happens this week and if any prospects work out...
