Ask me here, if you wish for a second opinion instead of spamming CUEK. Ty

Andd we’re back! Well we’ve been back a few days now, and school has started. Already, stress is seeping in aurgh! This quarter and the following quarters will get more demanding, so to the people who care to complain…yes comics and blogs will probably be late sometimes. Shut up and be patient!…please and thank you :3. Oops, the bipolar Purple has slipped out…here’s a new post:

In an earlier post on bittersweet, I’ve mentioned not comparing your current squeeze to your past squeeze (your ex). In another perspective, try not to compare yourself to your current squeeze’s ex! On one hand it will only torture you and you will get paranoid about who you are. Then you may start being someone you’re really not just do you think you have one-up on their ex because you’re trying to be better, when really you should just be yourself.

Your squeeze should love and accept you for who you are, and they should not compare you either. On the other hand, if your squeeze says you’re what matters now and their past is the past…try to believe it unless you have good reason to be suspicious. It’s their past, don’t make it your own, too…or you’d just add more negative weight to yours.

Also, you know you and their ex are both different people…so really, how can you compare without being totally unfair to yourself? I know it’s hard when you’re trying to look for stability in your relationship, but with all the paranoia…it could really rock the boat and someone’s gonna fall outta it with an ugly splash. (Sometimes I have lousy analogies, sorry!) So try to be good to yourself and concentrate on what’s going on now, and hopefully your squeeze is doing the same. And psst, it helps when you don’t pry into their past. Sometimes knowledge can be do harm, not that I’m saying to deny it if it’s blatantly there.

Hey folks, I hope this isn’t considered to be spamming on these articles. I did promise I would do something aside from love the next time I post, and here it is. It’s also appropriate since many of you are beginning your summer break. Read the following and you’ll see why:

Everyone needs time with the people they care about, whether it be friends, lovers, family…whoever. We’re all so busy with our lives sometimes we don’t have that much time to share with others, which is a pity. Well, when you do have time, spend some with people you care about…but now and then choose someone you think you should know more about. Sometimes people have more than one side to them, and you only see an exterior when there’s so much more to dig out. Sometimes it could be interesting, and sometimes they need someone else to know their other side or they could feel unheard/unseen/unnoticed. Just because you talk or have generic conversations, that doesn’t do much when they can’t be who they are yet. Other people may not give them the equal time of day that you could offer where they could just show who they are and accepting them. Being able to be comfortable with who you are around someone else is a pretty liberating feeling. It’s kind of like someone knows you. I’m sure other people have given you the time of day, so pass it on to someone else!

Have a lovely summer! Unfortunately for Enzo and I, we start school again on the 6th of July booo. But at least I get to celebrate my bday on the 4th of July first woot woot
