THE GOOD AND THE BAD.

Here it is, Kissing Toads.
Mistakes, experiences, emotions and more all jumbled up into one blog.  I know I haven't been through it all when it comes to relationships, but I'd like to take you along on my journey. I hope that with this blog you can either learn from what I have to say or just have a good laugh.
Most of the time people are afraid of talking about relationships, the good and the bad. They don't wanna talk about the bad because they're afraid of being judged or simply embarrassed by what happened. They don't wanna talk about the good because they might jinx the good they have going on, or they don't wanna sound like they're bragging. Talking is therapeutic, and I feel that everything is worth speaking about. The good and the bad.
Now, I'm not saying go around and let everyone know what you're going through. Just let it out every once in a while, may it be to yourself or a close friend. I feel that its best to talk to someone who is going through the same things.
For example, a while ago I went through a dark, self-hating phase. I felt like I wasn't good enough for anyone and that I was just living life through the motions without any purpose. I felt so alone. Of course, my friends noticed and questioned what was wrong. I explained that I felt so alone, unwanted. They, of course, gave me the cliche responses, "Everything will be fine," "Just give it some time, things will get better on their own," "Don't rush love." But that didn't help at all. After a few nights of feeling this way I went out to a small BBQ and met with some friends, I hadn't seen in a while. The night went on, we had a good night. I needed a ride back to my car and a close friend that I hadn't spoken to in a LONG time offered me a ride. On the way to my car she asked, "So are you talking to anyone?" and you will not believe the conversation we had after that. I wanna say we stayed in her car for a good hour just releasing all these pent-up emotions. It felt so good to finally talk to someone who was going through the same things I was. I swear she would say something and all I could say was, "GIRL, SAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEE!" I felt like she genuinely knew what I was going through. I didn't need her to give me crappy advice to try and fix my issues, I just needed to know that I wasn't alone and there's other people going through the same things.
We talked about the bad in our love lives, but it felt so damn good letting it all out.
