i have never been one to ask for help because i saw it as a sign of weakness but as i mature and go through more obstacles in life, i have come to realize that the real sign of weakness is not being able to admit that help is needed or just being afraid to ask for help at all.

over the last year or so, i have learned a great deal about what it is to be loyal. although many use the word loosely, i feel quite strongly about it. merriam webster defines the word loyal as 'unswerving in allegiance' or being 'faithful to a cause, ideal, custom, institution or product'. i strongly believe that any successful relationship will die quickly if both parties are not loyal to one another. this is not only applicable to relationships that involve intimacy, but with relationships with friends, family members, coworkers or anyone else that matters on some level. i put my all into all of my relationships to make sure that the other party does not only know that i am loyal because i verbalize it, but because of my actions.  if there is no sense of loyalty in any relationship that you may currently be in, i feel like it is a relationship that should just be let go. i guess what i want people to think about is...

what does loyalty mean to you? 

and if you can define it, how important is loyalty to you?

since january 1st, instead of making a new years resolution, i decided that i should just focus on ways to improve my life as a whole. one way i thought i could accomplish that goal is by spending more quality time with the people that really matter. anyone can hang out with 50 or 60 associates and call them friends, but it is much better to just spend time with the handful of people that are the most important - the ones that are there for you through thick and thin, the ones that can put a smile on your face, and the ones that understand what you mean and how you are feeling without saying a word. so for the last couple of weeks, that is what i have been doing and i have never been happier. i would strongly suggest that everyone try it - you will be much happier and feel that your time is well spent. so i think all i am trying to say is...

spend time with those that matter

so i have been told recently that i need to do something for me - something that makes me feel free, gets my thoughts out, clears my head, etc.; this seems to be the answer to my problem. i am not here for anyone special, just myself. the more comfortable i get with other people reading what i write, the more intense and uncensored my blogs will become. i never intentionally hurt or offend people but i do believe in freedom of speech so be prepared. i probably won't do this everyday, but i will do it a few times a week. that's all for now.
