Relationship Status Thoughts

I am not the greatest in relationships. I know that. I've only been in one long term relationship and it was pretty unhealthy. I find that most people find me likeable because I'm very good at knowing how to treat people in any given situation. I am a people pleaser by nature but I am enjoying pleasing myself. OK that came off sounding much naughtier then I imagined..

What I mean to say is I tend to put other peoples needs before my own. The more I love that person, the more likely I am to tend to do that. I don't want to do that anymore. I like making myself a priority and I have been trying to do that more lately.

I enjoy spending time with other people but I like it when they have somewhere to go home to. I don't want to spend time with another person 100% of the time. I enjoy my alone time immensely at this point in my life. I don't know if I will ever feel the need to let someone into my life entirely. I tend to end up in relationships with emotionally damaged individuals and I'm just going to say a big no thanks to that in my life anymore. Do I enjoy seeing people? Spending time with people? Sure. But you have your own bed and I have mine. Truth is I have gotten used to sleeping alone. I also have restless leg syndrome so good luck trying to sleep next to me anyway.

As much as society tries to shame us into thinking we are somehow 'less than' if we are not in a committed long term relationship I am not buying into it anymore. I don't need anyone to validate my existence. So yeah, that is just where I am at right now. 

Presidential Debate Highlights | Trump, Clinton Defend Tax Plans

I am attempting to watch the video highlights from the presidential debate last night. I can't believe anyone would want to put Trump in the oval office. I got 3 minutes in and ugh... it's painful to watch. He can't even follow the basic rules of a debate. How many times do they have to tell him like a child, this is not your time to speak?! Hillary had a smarmy smirk the whole time probably because she was dealing with a person that should be put in a time out chair like a 5 year old. He is THAT entitled that he can just talk over anyone. Good luck with that kind of president when there are delicate peace negotiations to be had. Trump is the harbinger of WWIV. Before I get people telling me all the bad stuff about Hillary, I know she isn't a bouquet of roses either but in comparison Trump makes any other option look good.

Hillary's face says it all. It's a joke to be up there "debating" with someone like Trump who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. I just don't understand how anyone can want to have a president that doesn't follow the basic rules of a debate. And when she addresses the issue with the emails she says "It was a mistake and I take responsibility for it." I can NEVER picture Trump EVER saying those words about ANYTHING. How can such an entitled man be considered to run a Country? He actually says "To be honest" when talking about how much money he has and his lack of financial disclosure. This guy is so shady.

More Tween Bulls*** from my ten year old son

My son decided today that he would keep one pant leg up and then when I told him to put it down, he decided to argue with me. I hate arguing over stupid sh**. Argue about something that matters. 

Dear son, until you are 18 your mother and I get to make certain choices and guess what? I bought you those pants you are trying to wear to look like a little thug. I am not going to take up with it. You start dressing thuggish and you will receive no respect from anyone. How you present yourself to the world matters. The first thing people are going to see when they look at you is a lazy, disrespectful thuggish kid. It may not be true but that is how you would be choosing to represent yourself. 

If you present yourself wearing clothes that look nice on you and wear them properly then you will be more likely to be treated with respect because you LOOK respectful. The reason Eminem and celebrities like that can get away with wearing their clothes however they want is because they have EARNED respect from their peers because of their HARD WORK and accomplishments in their business lives so they can wear whatever stupid things they want. 

You are not a famous rapper or celebrity, not yet anyway, when you are if you want to follow fashion trends, go right ahead, but what you should really be thinking about is how to START a trend, not follow one. Trend setters are the ones that get ahead in life, not followers. Following trends just make you a
