Teenage Relationships AUGH!

Ok. So I need to rant. On what? Teenage "relationships". There is just one situation that's bugging me. First off, I don't believe kids under 18 should be having serious relationships. Like teenage dating is soooo serious. And dramatic. Oi. Like act your age. This is not marriage. At the same time there some things that bug me about a certain relationship. So I know this girl, Candace and she was going out with Eric. So they've been going out for a year and half-ish. Ok. Meet Naomi and Kyle. They've been going out for a few months. Now. Candace and Kyle are best friends. The truth of the matter is Kyle loves Candace, which is completely unfair to Naomi. Heh. So not so strangely, Kyle breaks up with Naomi. A few days later Candace breaks up with Eric. Candace is pretty upset seeing as her and Eric have been together for quite awhile. Strangely enough, Kyle and Candace, already being close end up comforting each other and start "going out" really quickly. Candace is mad because all her close friends wonder what's going on. I mean, if Kyle will leave a girl for her, won't he leave her for another girl? Or would he never do that because he "loves" her. What are these kids learning by being in "serious relationships". The way I see it, when things get tough, we quit and move on to the next person. It's okay to leave someone because there are issues. Yeah, they're just kids, it's not like they're married. But aren't they practicing for marriage? Augh! Maybe I'm just bitter, because I never got to be in one of those serious relationships. Or maybe I'm not because I had so much fun just being friends with both genders and had maybe a fun little fling or two, but nothing serious. Not saying that flings or friends with benefits are good either. But I'm just annoyed in this situation. Candace and Kyle are pushing away their friends, because they are in "love" and no one else knows anything. That bugs me. But of course. You know best for yourself. It kills me inside because Candace is going to get burned. Kyle too. Eric and Naomi are already burned but they can both do better than these two. To you who read this and think I'm off my rocker. I don't care. From personal experience, staying away from insanely serious sexual relationships in high school has saved me from more heartbreak and has left my view of love less tainted. So. There. Hahaaa.
Anyways. I'm so exhausted. I've worked three 12's in a row almost with barely any time off in between.

So Peace.

Tonight

Mm. I had such an awesome time tonight. Just hanging out with my dear friend. We went out for coffee and then for a walk. It was awesome to talk without any agenda. Nothing in particular. It's kind of like the relationship we should have with God. We should go to God to just know him. Not because we want something. Just because we want to know him. Sometimes I just start babbling about my life when I'm talking to God. Just general awesomeness. Real friends don't need an agenda. They don't necessarily need to have to help with everything. They're there when you need them though. It's a bit easier to be there when you're just comfortable about being there. Ahh. I can't figure out what I'm trying to say here. Oi. *awkward silence*. Sooo. Have a good one.

The day of the Lord

"Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the Lord Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the Lord Almighty."

Malachi 4: 1 - 3

Hmm. I just giggled when I read "leap like calves released from the stall." It's quite a picture. I'd hate to be under the feet of those calves.
