First of all is there a truth or true purpose of life who's to know exactly for sure!? I think with truth lies a sense of hope, lies, misunderstandings, choices and learning experiences. On this planet we act like test subjects of proof that certain aspects of science are in fact real and are possible but we achieve this by learning, evaluating, risking and testing the boundaries before realisation and acknowledging whether something is wrong or right. I think that the way we do things reflects on how "true" we can make life. Some see life as a game, others see it as a struggle and we all have different interpretations and opinions on the matter it really comes down to how we live our time in this life of ours that tests how true or original we can be. I don't know my brain is frazzled just now so I could be talking verbal spew for all I know and can process just now! :)

Depends what context of relationship you're referring to, if its a friend I'm rather cautious. I do like to meet new people and get to know people but I don't feel like I can truly open up my true true self because friends in the past have let me down or haven't been there when I needed them most. At some points I had stuff going on outside of school and friends I knew for years since nursery/kindergarten whatever people can relate to, and I didn't once tell them or let them know what was wrong with me because I had some lost trust there and bad feelings so I have trust issues with meeting new people and really opening up it takes me a good while to open up especially to new people! I do still try and enjoy really getting to know people it's just from my experience its not been great, I lost trust and picked up on negativity throughout.

In terms of romantically, I was, I was absolutely terrified to let myself feel connected and have strong feelings towards someone else because my dating history is/was AWFUL. I know myself well enough to know how easily I can fall for someone and how quickly I can produce feelings but I was always skeptical about letting it actually happen and start to feel again after so much hurt.
I knew this boy from school who I always always noticed in the corridor and never thought he'd noticed me because he was in the next class and the year above me. His friends were in my classes, one in art and the other in admin so I saw him about quite a lot even tried talking at one point because I was immediately interested in him and couldn't figure out what it was. After he left school and started college we started to talk more after I added him on Facebook and we spoke every day practically every hour, moment and minute of the day and I really started to warm up to him more as we continued talking. We met up one day and now we're almost 2 years together and still growing stronger together. I actually am mesmerised that we met through school and his friends being in my class up until this point, where we're very very happy! I've literally found myself in the opposite sex to be honest we're so alike and I have so much appreciation and respect for him because he's been my rock through some of the hardest times I've faced and he didn't once let me down.
So to all the people out there still searching for the right person, don't lose hope, don't force feelings, don't follow expectations and let things happen on their own in their own time. I didn't think I'd really ever get over being hurt time after time again but where I am now, I'm so much happier, I have a little bunch of great friends, my boyfriend treats me like a pearl even though I'm really just a pebble and I'm more content with myself inside and out. Don't give up, make yourself feel better before letting someone else come into your life and let things happen themselves you never know what could happen! ??

To be completely honest I don't think it's fair to judge a mother on one night out a few times a week or month as long as their child is in good care with someone trustworthy! I don't think its right if the mother or father abandons the child to go out socialising every night! I think people forget that being pregnant and having this new responsibility has a different effect on you where you need to kind of mature and grow up quickly to prepare for the little boy or girl that's to come along! To be honest I think people forget the responsibilities that come with being pregnant and after birth and then they stress out because the level they have to cope with is too much for them. I think planning pregnancy is important because you have time to plan things, save money, provide a stable home and family for that child to be brought up in and it definitely doesn't seem easy to do on your own, I have respect for all of the single parents who are and have been raising their child on their own! I really don't think kids or teenagers should be having children because no one can really properly prepare you for the unknown responsibilities that lie ahead with pregnancy and after birth!

Compromising is a good solution but I think that statement was too strong to blame one gender. I think both genders have flaws some more than others but we shouldn't be defined by only gender we are our own individual as much as we are part of a group, category and race. No two people are the same so I think that what's sterol typically said about one gender really spirals from few or many individual people who are of the same gender! It's like saying males are the only ones who cheat and females write them off as all cheating but its fact that females are capable of cheating on their partner as much as a male! You're right about compromising but some people limit themselves to putting up with something until it breaks them or removing themselves from the situation because it might get too destructive and chaotic where people will get hurt. There's many ways, ideas and solutions to problems but I think it comes down to the individual and what they're thinking and feeling towards the situation, who determines limitations or whether he/she wants to compromise and find another way of going about it.
