465 days & nights

About 6 weeks ago, I got a new puppy. She was 4 weeks old, tiny, fluffy, innocent and golden. She tugged at both me and my boyfriends heart strings and we just knew she would be the greatest addition to our mini family. Taking our little home from the two of us to the two of us and a dog lol.

Now, she is effin crazy!! Still cute! Still fluffy! BUT CRAZY! I love her dearly, and I couldn’t imagine not having her -ok, that’s a lie because I threaten to leave her homeless 4 times a week- but I’d never really do that. She tears up carpet, she knocks over dirty clothes hampers and chews on all of my bras and panties. She goes in the bathroom and pulls down toilet tissue until it covers the entire bathroom floor. She scratches us, she nibbles on our toes & she likes to pee by the window. She’s a very intelligent dog, after all she is a golden retriever. Which explains why she is able to open the bathroom cabinet, get into my box of tampons and chew on them. Those are her favorite 0_o.

Want to hear the really crazy part though? In public, she is an angel! 100% angel. So well behaved when we take her for walks, and to the vet. She doesn’t try to nibble on other people, she doesnt scratch them. She sits still and allows them to pet her and tell her how well behaved she is. & LETS NOT EVEN GET STARTED ON CHILDREN. She is so great with them.

Why isn’t she like that at home?? Today, for example. She was tearing up the carpet -we are about to move friday, so I kinda don’t care but rather not get a bill from this place later- so i popped her on the booty… she then stole my pillow from me and ran. Yes, you read that correctly she STOLE my pillow and ran off with it!! Oh and she was on the floor and I was on the bed that is raised high.

She drives me crazy, oh yes she does but I couldn’t be without my Crenshaw. I love her so.

Alright, so here goes the big one and I may offend a few with this post but let me begin by saying those are not my intentions. I have noticed that single people (mainly women) talk about relationships, marriage, future children, weddings, engagements etc. more than people in serious relationships. I mean they are the ones giving daily relationship advice, and giving play by plays of their weddings so on and so forth.

Now, I am in no way saying that single individuals are realtionship ignorant because that is NOT the truth. Everyone has a story and their own personal experiences that have been an asset to their growth. HOWEVER, I am not talking about those select and few people. 

Lets take twitter for example. All the single girls tweet all day about love and realtionships. Then there are people like me who are in very serious relationships who don’t randomly dish out relationship and love advice. Don’t get me wrong, I have some crazy simp tweets that would even give Drake a run for his money.. but it’s never the whole “when i get married..”, “my wedding..” all day every single freaking day. Forgive me for saying this but even it I did, technically wouldn’t I be closer to it than someone who has no potential or prospective husband in sight? At least have a damn crush first. 

I’m an avid believer that good things come to those who have their priorities in order. That “good thing” could be anything. Career opportunities, Love, Money, Peace and the list goes on. As far as the matter of love, I don’t think that those who are desperate and obsessed with the idea of it have their priorities in order. At least the ones I’ve seen don’t. (Some of these) Women are out here just chasing men and their dreams of where they THINK they should be in their lives romantically. If anything, that pursuit gives the wrong impression and hinders them from finding real love vs. showing them to correct path to it. 

Freedom of speech: I deeply believe in it but sometimes I think this is more than expressing opinions and future dreams. It seems like an obsession with the idea of romance, love and marriage. Sometimes, I think that I may not understand the thought process because prior to my relationship I was never “that” girl. I have always been content with being alone and I have never been one to scope out love and hunt it down with eager fantasies. In fact, -and feel free to call me a late bloomer- but I never even thought about what my wedding would be like until my current relationship became serious. Hell, until WE started to discuss it. I wasn’t that nine year old girl flipping through wedding mags. Just not where my head was. Other couples have noticed this as well, and apparently its been a frequent conversation within other relationships. I guess everyone is just confused.

What do you think?

Nothing moves me more than self love, expression and confidence. I love the above quote mainly because it describes me - especially my body- to the T. I use this quote frequently, because it exudes so much, and it is extremely powerful for women to love themselves and to demand respect. I want my legacy to be that I helped young women maintain their strength and display their worth for the world to see. This is the decade of video “models” & gaining success founded off relationships with men. Some may call me a feminist.. eh kinda.. I may be a tad too realistic for the official title of feminism. I believe in leading by example, so with this here tumblr I take your hand..
