Didn't get the painting or drawings done which is a slight disappointment. But I did go to Miranda's graduation party and had a ton of fun hanging out with old friends. As well as went to Russ' 21st birthday party, drank a little socially and enjoyed an evening hanging with him and other friends. So today was a good summer day. Got a lot done on the picture and it's turning out amazing (posting on here once done with it), and was very social and a lot of fun. Only wish a pool had been thrown in, but ah well, can't have everything. =P
No comments yet, so I'll continue to make up subjects to share my thoughts on.
I think people take dating a bit too serious. Meaning they make it serious. I'm guilty of this as well, so I'm no means out of the boat with everyone else. But I think in general "dating" has become a term used when two people are "seeking a serious relationship with the potential of marriage and a life partner" where it used to be simply "getting to know someone better." The whole idea behind taking someone on a "date" was to spend an evening/dinner talking, learning about the other person, and focusing on getting to know the other person. But now it's become such a huge thing, that if you take someone out on a date, you're now "dating" and required to go on additional dates until you officially "breakup." All of which rushes the relationship and forces people into situations they don't want or need. Well, I'm going back to the roots of simple taking a girl to hang out for a nice evening, nothing serious, enjoying spending time together. Afterwords, taking her home, dropping her off by curfew, and thanking her for a nice evening. And then going about the rest of my week. Nothing epic about it, no? Just a nice, no ties date. We'll see if it catches back on. XD
Tonights verse is widely spread, but I want to share again because it never hurts to repeat: 1 Timothy 4:12 "Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity." Nothing says just because you're youth, starting out, inexperienced, or a host of other excuses, that 1) you shouldn't still try your best, or 2) you can't be an example for others. In the whole church and Christian realm, I'm only a very young adult, but I still set examples for those younger than me in the youth, and older than me that are watching. Be yourself, be strong, and let yourself make mistakes. It's how we as humans learn. ^^
Night everyone!

PS: Bible I'm using is a New King James Version if anyone is wondering. If you want a verse in a different translation let me know and I can find it. ^^
