commitment babble the one and only commitment i can realistically make right now is to myself and the responsibilities i have regarding work and family. i don't see how people my age can try to take on any more than that.. i've been in relationships that have seemed worth it, thought i was in love, thought they felt the same; but i ended up making more problems for myself than i could handle we're all young and want to have fun and live through as many experiences as we can before we decide to settle down to make a relationship work. if you haven't gone through life independently, you don't know yourself as thoroughly as you can and aren't ready to hold your end as an individual in a relationship. too many people jump into a co-dependent relationship that they get wrapped up in, and don't realize that you can't rely on anyone no matter how involved you get with them. love is tricky. it doesn't make anyone anything that they're not. and depending on how mature we are and our individual personalities.. everyone lies, changes their mind, and makes wrong decisions (committing to things that they can't handle, causing problems down the line). at the end of the day, its more about knowing yourself and knowing the person you're involved with and knowing that they support you and make you happy; like tina said, whats "love" got to do with it? so basically, where does love begin and commitment start? does love require a commitment? does commitment require maturity? feeling and expressing love is one thing.. commitment and maturity are completely separate. you can love someone and not be ready to commit. we're young and maturity and commitment will come with time. not to say that we can't realistically take a shot at making a commitment work, but we need to take a clear look at what we need and whats best for us. define yourself --> support yourself --> find love --> find commitment--> never lose sight of who you are and what you want Any comments, fam? |
