I know some people think I ...Thanks so much, Rosie! I know some people think I shouldn't share so much online, but I never want people to think my life is perfect or that my relationship is perfect. And I have a rule for myself: If I'm writing something about Tony, I always make sure he reads it before I post it. If he doesn't like it or doesn't want it shared, I don't post it. <br /><br /><br />I actually sometimes wish I could share more personal things, more "real" writing, I guess, but I worry about it impacting my teaching career. <br /><br /><br />I did read Lena's book awhile ago! I liked it! <br /><br /><br />Congratulations again on your engagement! So excited for you!Amanda Greerhttp://sunshineandwhimsy.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276172340080430379.post-30700243891096598152015-04-02T22:37:12.563+08:002015-04-02T22:37:12.563+08:00I just came across this post (because I'm lovi...I just came across this post (because I'm loving perusing your blog), and I just want to say I think this is awesome! There is so much content in the blogging world that is not real... and yet it's so hard not to compare yourself to it all! Hands down my favorite part of your blog is how real you are. Thank you for sharing that part of yourself! It is so not easy to do, and I really admire it! (It reminds me of why I like Girls so much, because I always think Lena Dunham manages to say and do all the things we all feel too much shame to share! On a small side not have you read Not That Kind of Girl, because it is AMAZING!) I absolutely believe that relationships and life are cyclical. I find Adam and I have a great month and then a week of just annoying out of sync days or when your home life is smooth maybe work is off, and vice verca. I don't know if that makes it 'normal' as you say... but you are NOT alone! Also, your point about looking at social media and seeing what others are doing before I even start my day, really hit home for me. Thank you! I'm really going to make an effort to change that!Rosienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276172340080430379.post-52221810026866740092015-01-08T22:04:31.029+08:002015-01-08T22:04:31.029+08:00i love how this shows how not every relationship i...i love how this shows how not every relationship isn't perfect but how you worked it out! this is awesome, i will have to remember this whenever i get into an argument with my (future) boyfriend hahaSammy Garcianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276172340080430379.post-12896300660325144422015-01-07T07:49:29.643+08:002015-01-07T07:49:29.643+08:00Thanks, Mika!

I think we both felt shitty about the whole thing (I definitely did) and we've been trying really hard not to have big arguments (mostly me, since I tend to 'accidentally' start them), but it happens every few weeks. (kind of like waves, what you were saying) Also- I ALWAYS cry too lol. But anyway, it's definitely nice to hear about how other couples are dealing with their arguments and relationships. I think it's important because being in a relationship isn't easy (even if we whole-heartedly love the other person) so it's nice to find common ground (: Sorry for the long-winded comment, but I'm happy about your Happy 2015 plan- best of luck to you guys!Mika P.http://oshirodesign.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
