this morning these made me cry... (see bottom of message for explanation)

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it.
FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk..
FIFTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

So now I'm sure you're saying to yourself, it's just silly forward why were you crying. Well because I feel like my boyfriend is pulling away from me yet again and I don't know what to do about it. He's going through some stuff right now (nothing major, just growing pains), but he won't talk to me about it and he'd rather hang out with his friends. We've hardly said anything to each other in the past 5 days unless we're arguing and I'm just really tired. This has happened before (many times) and I just hate it and don't know what to do. I know that compared to some of the things that you all are going through this is just small, but my heart hurts and that makes me sad. I can't make him want to share things with me. I can't make him want to hang out with me. And sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be good enough to hang out with instead of his friends. *shrug* I don't know. It's all so hard to explain and I'm trying so hard to work it out in my head. I tried to talk to him last night, but he went out with one of his friends and got drunk so it was useless. I slept in the downstairs bedroom by myself and only said necessary words to him this morning when I left. I love him so much that it makes me crazy, but I hate hurting like this too. We'll work it out I'm sure...it just might be a bit painful in the process. Thanks for listening.
