Keep Your Mind Wide Open

Mistie Morgan, Reporter

What you gain from a relationship doesn’t have to be a deep inner meaning to life or about what you want from a relationship, but it helps you realize that there’s more to love than there may appear.

Though contrary to some people’s belief, there are some people who prefer to be single. They already have a wonderful group of friends who they would take a bullet for, so why get romantically involved with someone? Sometimes people might think of why they would put themselves through the stress of having a partner, so they stay single until they’re ready to mingle.

On the other side of the fence, some people just can’t get enough of relationships. They get out of a relationship, and rush right back into a new one after a couple of days. There are many possibilities as to why people jump from relationship to relationship, but it is their personal preference and it’s not necessarily a horrible thing. They just can’t seem to find the right one.

Sometimes what we care most about isn’t a person; maybe it’s something we feel very passionate about. Many people are single and express their love of T.V. shows, movies, and video games. The way that they speak of every aspect with such caring tone is sublime. It’s that kind of love that is inspiring to give life a new perspective as if anything can be beautiful.

As to the people who refer to themselves as “friend zoned,” there is no such thing that exists. If you see a romantic future with someone who you are friends with, and they don’t, that in no way entitles you as stuck in the friend zone. It just means that he/she isn’t interested in a romantic relationship with you. It isn’t an insult, so long as they are a part of your life, so why treat it as such?

All of these factors are not directed to just teenagers, but to people of all ages, of any race, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. Every relationship, no matter what it may consist of, can be beautiful. It just takes an open mind to see it as such.
