okay well i think relationships can allow for stability. they can give anyone a sense of faithfulness and what it means to trust. relationships give value to what it really means to love and commit. it's the true definition of spirituality, because the love given is also received, like a cycle. it's reliable and accepting. open to flaws and ready to forgive. relationships create understanding with how people work and how you yourself functions also. they're good because you can practice loving- the most important thing there is, really.

I need a girlfreind
Is it a girlfriend that he needs?
Does God take the form of lovers?
Is that a gift he bestows upon us to learn somehow, someway love and what it's really made of?
I was thinking this morning about myself, and came up with this poem--
Given the opportunity
To sit and contemplate
As the birds chirp
And the wind blows.
I’ve noticed that the life that surrounds me isn’t so complicated.
Within this messy head of mine,
Amongst the scattered thoughts
And conflicting feelings,
Is a gateway, a sweeper.
A place to cleanse the bad and rejuvenate the good.
And a door to open a virgin, baptized, forgiven, and prepared to live life as it is:
Unguarded,
Undefined.
Just in sync and in tune.
May sound like some kumbaya hoopla, but it came to me.
