The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen with a long term boyfriend!

Six months today!! Half a freakin' year with this kid. Ash really is something special. :).

I've honestly never really experienced any relationship that was less than 2 months; and my last two relationships haven't been less than 6. And I know that isn't necessarily normal for a girl my age so I'm gonna kinda mention what it's like for me and my opinion on it.

Frankly, from what I've heard of it, short term relationships and dating seem like a waste of time, I don't know why I would ever bother doing any kind of relationship half-assed. However, a lot of people *coughcoughlikeSalcough* argue that in high school you're just supposed to meet lots of people and experience as many experiences as you can. That way, in college, you have the experience for when you want to meet someone to marry. "It's not like you're going to marry anyone you meet in high school." etc.
I disagree strongly with that.
For one, my Advisor at school has 3 kids that have all married their high school sweethearts. I find that adorable. I also was watching "Take Home Chef" once and the woman on the show said that she had met her husband in second grade, had a crush on him since middle school, and never dated anyone else until they were married. So stuff like that DOES happen. Secondly, I don't get this idea of getting "experience" so you can date in college. That seems pointless to me. College/the years after college are only about 1 decade of your life where you're supposedly dating around finding someone to marry. The rest of your life, in theory, is spent being married to that one person. So does it make more sense to be experienced in dating, that takes place for 10 years of your life? Or experienced in making a long term relationship work, which you'll need to know for at least 50, ideally? That's my logic, anyway. I know that as who I am, my tendency is to fall pretty deep for guys anyway. So i'd rather at least have a longer commitment when that happens than something that could only last a couple weeks. Truthfully though I've never really seen any other perspective, so if anyone has anything to say about what it's like to have more short-term relationships, i'd be happy to hear about it in the comments :).

What I think happens is that people who don't have that kind of relationship don't understand how much your boyfriend/girlfriend becomes a part of your life. Because a lot of my friends are single, I don't want to be the "my boyfriend this, my boyfriend that" girl because that's obnoxious. But honestly? It's really hard to NOT do. Ash is so much a part of my life that just about anything I've done in the past 6 months relates to him somehow. I was talking to my singing teacher today (he's really cool :)) about allergies, and i mentioned how Ash gets really bad allergies to tree pollen this time of year. It's just a natural course of conversation for me. i spend so much time with him it's hard for him to not always be on my mind. I don't know if it's just me or if other girls with steady boyfriends do this but it's just how my mind works. Either way, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love Ash, plain and simple :).

Enjoy the crazy hot weather, guys! Looks like nothing but sunshine for a while :).
