[Inside]Insight

havent-got-a-prayer:

Why do we get into relationships? We allow a person into our lives and into our hearts, risking heartbreak and emotional turbulence, hoping that the good times will outweigh the bad. We let our guard down in exchange for connection. We invest our very selves in something much bigger than us; the possibility of falling in love.

Finding “the one” is no easy task. It’s a strenuous game of trial and error that can leave us exhausted and crushed if we are not careful. In the search for connection we expose our most secret sides to another person, trusting that they will see something in us that is worth holding on to. But if finding “the one” is in fact so difficult and so wearying, why are we willing to give love a chance time after time?

These days, monogamy appears to be a dying concept. It seems as though less and less people are seeking something concrete and exclusive, opting instead for filler and fun. This concept can significantly complicate matters of relationships, because it can often be difficult to differentiate the ones who are seeking just another good time from the ones who are truly seeking someone to invest in.

In a world where the notion of monogamy seems to be disappearing as quickly as old-fashioned romance and dating, how safe is it to invest in the idea of something more? Are we just fooling ourselves, or do we really have another half? Are we betting too much in this love game, all the while setting ourselves up to be hurt?

Is monogamy dead?

Well put in the vein of our beloved Carrie Bradshaw.

If I see one more Bravo show about rich/entitled people being silly and irresponsible I will spew my delicious half pint of whirled peace Ben and J.

Why God does the BET awards have to be the ONLY awards show with ads IN THE SHOW?

Beyonce, I do love you. I really do. But if you’re going to do someone else’s song, you just might wanna get the words right.

(via blissed)

Next year you and I should watch the BET awards together. We’ll blame it on the Henne.

1945:

what if: Michael Jackson’s death was staged, and his funeral will be the start of his comeback tour. He’ll rise out of his grave and start performing thriller to piped in music.

That would be amazing!

That would be amazing, but you know how many people would be pissed/outraged? That’s a pretty awful stunt to pull.

Mornings like this I wish their seven grains were on a mission to taste better.
