I think I've always been really lucky when it comes to roommates. My dorm roommate ended up being my best friend and roommate all 5 years of college...yes it took me 5 years lol...whhaaat I went to SDSU... you know they had party buses that picked us up on campus and took us to Mexico on the weekends for $12 round trip. HA.. okay I'm getting off subject here.
My roommate now is my other best friend, Taja. We've been friends ever since 7th grade. It's seriously the best living situation because we are so comfortable with each other, nothing ever really goes unsaid. I've had so many of my friends always come up to me complaining how they can't tell their roommate that it bugs them when they leave their socks in the living room, don't do the dishes etc.
Just like a relationship with a significant other, you should treat your roommate situation the same way. ALWAYS communicate! Even if it's a touchy subject and you don't know how your roommate will react it's better than suffering and holding it all in. Example: I told Taja the other day it really bothered me how she left her coffee cups piled up next to the sink... sometimes 3-4 would pile up... she said "oh, I'm sorry didn't realize that bothered you" and that was it! No more coffee cups. Don't be afraid to be who you are... I promise people will love and appreciate you for it!
Today's Topic: When is it to soon to call it LOVE?
The other day I received this email from a listener...
Is it bad to fall in love in 3 months after you known the person? I guess what I'm trying to say is I met this guy 3 months ago and we made it official after a month.... is it too soon to call it love yet?
My response was this:
NOOO WAY! If you know you love someone, then you know! HOWEVER...I think there is a difference between loving someone and being in love and being in love with the idea of being in love.
I know these first few months are so exciting and you probably spend every minute together because you want to and it feels good. My advice to you would be to still take it slow, if you fee like saying I LOVE YOU.... make sure you mean it. And always communicate!
Communication is KEY in a relationship. It's really important to always know how each person is truly feeling. Things go left unsaid and will only build up frustration and anger. Good luck and I'm so happy you found love:)
Omg... is it pay day yet?? One more day... Well this was a fun weekend. I went to San Diego Saturday after my on air shift here. I still work for another radio station in SD and it was our Company party. It was casino theme and there were about 20 of us that took a limo-party-bus to the Marriott in Del Mar. It was great to see my SD friends that I haven't seen in a while.
I won over $1800 in black jack (well it was fake money) but still really fun! Hahaa. My sister was my date and it was great to hang out with her. Sunday I watched the Chargers BEAT the Colts!!!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh WHAT! Yes! Now they just need to beat the Patriots next week and it's ON! I hung out with my cute niece and had a great time just relaxing with my family. Hope you had a good one:)
So last night I hung out with the San Diego homie... Frankie J. We went to Ritual in Hollywood and had a great time. I met him in SD when I was living and working there. My friend Kalyna and I met him and his friend PJ there and we just kicked it at a table mostly talking about his next album. I'm so excited about his new music coming out... without giving too much away... his next single will be for sure loved by all ladies.
He was so cute, showing me pictures of his daughter 2, and son 7, who are by the way soooo adorable. We spent the last part of the night discussing how the Chargers are going to beat the Colts this weekend and then beat the Patriots ;) thus, are in the Super Bowl this year!!!! I would say expect something new from him at the end of February. Maybe sooner, ya never know!
So we've all had to do it. It's the moment where you have to hang out with the ex; this might happen sooner than later if you two share mutual friends. We're all adults here and it's important to remain mature in a situation like this. No need to try to make one another feel jealous or bad so I would go more the "be civil" route.
Part of me wants to make sure that I really look good.... Hahaha, kind of like "look what you don't have anymore". But at this point, that just seems so lame; I'm hoping that he wasn't with me just because I can look good in Bebe dress. So when a situation like this arises, whether it is a party, work function etc... I would say keep it short, and be nice. If it ended ugly with this ex or if you are still really hurt by what he or she did to you. I don't think you have to be fake and pretend like you want to be their friend. Believe me I am all about letting people know how I really feel. Be yourself but don't make things awkward for people around you by chewing your ex's head off over something that happened 6 months ago between you two.
Break ups are tough and trying to stay friends is even tougher. Everything takes time and in the end when we look back at all the "stress" we have right now... we'll laugh.
