Most of you know that I’ve never been the ladies man — nor have I really been the expert at relationships. I never had a girlfriend in high school, and it wasn’t until my second year of college that I finally developed an actual ongoing relationship that’s surprisingly lasted until this very day. We’re going for one year and almost seven months now, and it’s quite the feat for me. I’ve never maintained anything for that long in my life, except my laziness.

It’s actually really hard for me to find a girl that I like, or for any matter, a girl to like me. For one, I’m picky as shit, so to just find a girl that fits my criteria, she has to be something special, and two, if she does fit my criteria, she’s likely out of my league. Simple as that. I came into this post with the intention of raging on and on about the fights I’ve been having with my girlfriend, to complain about this or that. But in retrospect, it’s not worth it. I should follow my own advice and look at the good things in life — to be optimistic about situations, and to savor what I have instead of bitching and whining about the things that I don’t.

So girlfriend, this one’s for you. I love you. And as much as we quarrel over insignificant things, we’ll always overcome it. We are just that damn gangster.
