"Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard."

That song speaks to my heart. I love my friends, even when I want to kick them in the head every once in a while. I try to balance my time so I can be a good supervisor, daughter, girlfriend and friend to more than I realized I had. And while trying to split my focus out of the office, I'm noticing how a lot of the relationships I'm surrounded by are lacking in key components that would make them more successful. There's either a lack of effective communication(or any communication), trust, and honesty. It's like people are so afraid of hurting their partner's feelings and ending up alone for being honest and up front with what's going on. I'm totally on the side of living life to the fullest and being happy, but sometimes life is too messy for pleasantries. And I truly feel like in the end, if you're honest and upfront about everything, even if it causes problems in the present, in the end, that trust has been built. Not to mention you avoid SO much unnecessary drama!
I don't think I've been in a single relationship yet where I'm able to be as much of myself as I am now. Granted, the extended history is definitely helpful. But there's something there that just feels right. Maybe it's just me and it ruins things to ask. I never thought I'd feel that giddy feeling at the beginning of a new relationship again. And even though this isn't exactly new, it is. There are so many things that have changed and for me they have made it so much better than round one. I'm so happy at times I feel like I could explode and shout it from rooftops (if I weren't terrified of heights that is). I was happy before this all began, and I didn't think I would feel like this. I could never see my life at the point it is now, and there are more possibilities in my future that I can't begin to dream to be real. But I look forward to whatever is coming. I'm enjoying my life and can't imagine being happier, but if I can, I really shouldn't and won't complain!
