I actually brought up some issues with my boyfriend, so yay me! I always hate making a big deal out of the little things that upset me in our relationship. But I’m beginning to realize that if I just keep things inside and don’t say what’s bothering me, it ends up hurting him even more, because I get all distant and he has no idea why. He’s always told me to just talk to him about things, and we can work them out. And I think I’m finally beginning to understand that.

How I did it: Granted, a lot of it was that I chose classes that I knew I'd do well in.But basically, all I did was work harder than I had before. I chose to spend more time studying and less time goofing around, and it worked. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I've always been an overly blunt person, but for some reason that didn't apply to my relationship with my boyfriend. I'm overly good at stating the little things, like "your hair looks ugly like that" and such. But the big things about our relationship that were bothering me- I'd keep them hidden and shove them down inside. I didn't want to seem petty. And I just wanted him to be happy, you know?But I've realized that the only way to… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'm a constant doodler, but I never thought anything of it. It really does help me though, to get things out. The reasons I never consider it "drawing my feelings" is because my "drawings" are usually composed of words composed into intricate patterns. But I guess it really does count. Read how I did it…

I’m a chronic daydreamer, so I miss a lot of good conversation. Also sometiems I just find myself staring at walls and thinking, when I really have more productive things to do. I need to think less and do more.
A lot of the times I don’t take up issues with people because I think that they’ll think they’re really trivial, or I’ll get a really obvious answer, or they’ll get offended that I asked. But some things really bother me. Like the fact that yesterday at the mall my boyfriend and I ran into a friend from one of his college classes and he didn’t say I was his girlfriend and he hasn’t changed his facebook profile back to being in a relationship since we got back together. And today I’m going to bring those things off, because they bother me a lot, even if they are stupid. I’m allowed to have feelings and have the right to show them.
