Bad news never has good timing

I have been thinking a lot lately about commitment, and young love. Basically my conclusion is that young love will never work without commitment! Honestly no love will ever work without commitment. I was reading Nicholas Sparks autobiography, and he talks about how if two people aren't committed to each other, and to bettering the relationship it's basically a waste of time and neither partner will ever feel secure in the relationship. I mean how could one feel secure if he or she thought that they could just get dropped like it's hot if they got into an argument, and if things "just weren't working" Things aren't going to be all rainbows and roses, but I want to feel secure enough in a relationship that if we have an argument I know that my partner will want to work through whatever the issue may be, and not try to run away, or find a way out of the awkward situation.

A relationship as my friend Minda puts it is not 50/50 it's 100% and 100%. If you are only putting 50% in the relationship it will never work. You need to be giving it your all. If you are not, I don't want you because I will definitely be putting in 100%! Now comes the tricky part...how do you find a guy that will put in 100%. Even if you do find said guy, how do you know when the going gets tough he won't just throw in the towel, and go for a younger skinnier, less emotional little tramp?

Oh gosh! Life is an endless string of what-if's. I guess that's where faith comes in. Just let whatever is meant to happen happen...I just wish I could be more patient while whatever is supposed to happen will just happen already!

So the young love part of my thoughts...well I was thinking that the younger you get married the more you still have to grow up, and change. That would be scary to wake up and realize that you married someone, and now that they have grown up, and decided who they want to be they are completely different! SCARY! I know just in friendships people that I was friends with in high school have done 180's! Even people I met in college are still changing and trying to find out who they are.

I guess to wrap all of these random thoughts up faith is what I need. Faith and hope that God knows what's best for me, and he really does have a plan for my life, and I won't be alone forever, and I will find someone willing to give me the 100% I will give them. :) It won't be perfect, but it will be perfect for me!
