Bad Romance


When you hear the words, “Bad Romance” you may think of a slew of different things. From Lady Gaga’s hit that epically took over the radio or to a specific relationship in your past that may have been amazing as the first time you heard Lady Gaga’s ballet but like the constant playing of “Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah! 
Mum-mum-mum-mum-mah! 
GaGa-oo-la-la!”, it drives you mad and turns you and your life into something you never expected or wanted.

Sunset will always set and rise again
But for me, I am not going to take it either of those ways. I am not going to think of Gaga, bad boyfriends, or times in relationships that I would have been satisfied without experience, but instead, I am going to focus on something my mom said to me. Today while chatting over Facebook, she said to me that to be in a bad relationship, you grow wiser and understand yourself better, for the next time when you are in one, you and your relationship will be better. And you know what, my mom is right, which doesn’t surprise me, because she is my mom and she is always right. So this blog post is dedicated to no on else but yourself, and in my case, since it is my blog, to me.

It has been a some time since I have been in a relationship, but while some of my friends complain about being single or in a relationship, I just sit back and watch perfectly content in the spot I am now. And you know what, I have learned more about myself, about other people, and more about how to be in a relationship because of it. People all around me are screwing up their romances and I have front row seats to all of the drama (I live with 7 girls) so the gossip is endless. I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly in all relationships over the past few years, from either my own experiences or those of my friends and nevertheless, I appreciate them all. I know who I am, what I want, and what I want to be. I have been on my own, had to deal with myself, by myself, lived, learned, traveled, and have had a ton of fun. So now, when I do find myself that “Prince Charming”, “My Knight in Shinning Armor”, or just my “Mr. Right NOW”, I will have become a better person, knowing who I am, and thus able to be better in a relationship. =)


Sailing away and setting an open course
Bad romance is no longer in my vocabulary, it is all about living, learning and of course loving. It is about knowing yourself and loving who you are before loving someone else and that way their can’t be a bad romance. There is always a new day, the sun will rise, and to be content in the moment with yourself and you past will allow for your present and future to flourish. Yadda, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah, I think you get the point I am trying to make. Just remember, life, laugh, love, and move on!! Oh and listen to your mom’s advice, she is always right.
