Idea of Romance💕

I don't know how I feel about the idea of love or romance.

The definition of love is: A profound spectrum of emotions and behaviors characterized by intimacy, passion, and commitment. It involves deep affection, protectiveness, and an active desire to cherish and support someone else’s well-being. 

    I think of love as an obsession you can't escape. You want to spend every waking moment with them, or you feel the need to when you can't, and all you want to do is be with them. If you love someone, they are constantly in your head, not leaving you alone. Sounds like a lot..... But it's ok because both parties are feeling the same. You're able to talk to them about anything, and they lend an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. You and that person really get each other. When I'm in love, I want it to be with someone I love as a person too. They have to be great all around. But I just can't see myself being like that with anyone. 

I don't think I want someone to have such a big emotion over me. It would feel like they have some type of control over me; I would absolutely hate that. But I do want to be in love at least once. So I have to figure that out. But maybe I only feel like that at this moment; when the time comes, maybe I'll change my mind who knows.

    I’ve never been in love with another person before. Can’t really imagine myself in a relationship either. Obviously I love my family, but I mean romantically. Been a while since the last time I had a crush, let alone loved someone. I've found people cute here and there. Almost had a boyfriend in 7th grade and was "married" in kindergarten, but those don't really count. When someone is cute, I do think they are cute, but I don't need that (If you get what I'm saying). I do joke with my friends that I have one, but deep down I know I don't. Sometimes I'll be talking to a boy who likes me, and I start thinking about the pros and cons of being with him, and the cons always outweigh the pros. That's how I know if I like the person, I won't even care about things like that. 

    If I really like them as a person. Just haven't met my person yet. Don't think I want to, though. I just find them so irritating; maybe I'm sexist. I do have a little brother, so does that make my case any better? Anyways, I would definitely rather be single than marry a man I have to settle for; that means the love of my life will have to be perfect. I'm going to be a junior, so maybe I'll get to know someone romantically, but then I think to myself, will I meet the love of my life in high school? I don't think so. It could also be one of those situations where I meet them in high school, but we meet later on. But I think I'll be in love before I meet the love of my life, though. But that's just my thought process.

The Love Of My Life: I don't have a vision of what he looks like yet, but I do know that he will be nice and considerate. He'll listen to me because I do talk a lot, and he'll have great things to say back that I would've never thought of. He will have a decent job so he can buy me nice things. Also, probably will be smarter than me by a little bit because I really do dislike when people are dumb in serious moments, but maybe I can be the dumb one. But he won’t make me feel like an idiot if I don’t know certain things. Also, when he first sees me, he's going to try and talk to me like love at first sight, but from him. That's kind of selfish, though, but I'll like him soon after that; I just want to feel wanted by someone who actually likes certain things about me. I do also want to be friends a little before I start liking him too. He'll be very kind to me, make me feel like the only girl in the world, or else I don't want him. But I'll also love him lots, so it will be fine. He'll also get me nice things that have meaning to them. Everyone likes to be tricked on. I don't know what, but something. I also feel so special when someone gets me a gift since I rarely do get them. But it'll be magical like in the movies, and It's going to feel like a fairy tale. Hopefully, but I have little hope.

    If we push the love of my life stuff to the side thought I would like to get to know someone and be so interested in them. Learning things about people brings me quite a bit of joy. I find the little things they say so interesting. Learning about the person and having someone to spend time with also does sound fun. But I just don’t know how to feel about it. Some people spend every free moment they have with their partner. I couldn't do that, though; I love being by myself too much. About that, That's why I'm also scared to get married because you live with the person, sleep in the same bed as the person, and have to talk to that person. That is a lot of alone time being around another person. Maybe when I get there I'll get it, but right now I don't want to think I would want that.

All this just to say I do love being by myself most of the time, and I love how every person has a different or similar idea of love. But this is just how I'm feeling at the moment. Any life-changing stories about love? I really want to have a different view on it.

Hopes and Dreams 💭

    I just want so much more for myself. I want to be comfortably wealthy. Tired of constantly not being able to purchase certain items. I just don't want to worry about money for the rest of my life.💰

"We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it." - Rick Warren.

    My parents are both immigrants from Ghana 🇬🇭. Ghana, like everywhere else, has extremely wealthy people and extremely poor people. My parents worked hard to get to America only to live a life that is essentially the same as the one they lived back home. My parents aren't perfect, and they have done a lot, thinking they were doing the right thing. But in a way, they do live up to this quote and didn't let themselves be prisoners to their past. I respect them for that and am grateful for them. 

    Someone told me, "Be patient with your parents because it's their first time living too." I know their parents didn't treat them well, and they just treat me how they think they should. It's just not going to stay that way with me if I end up having kids. I'm going to show them so much love and teach them everything in the world. My parents can hurt my feelings at times, but I don't think they are always coming from a bad place. I know they wanted more than the life we live, and I would gladly give them everything because I have so much love for them. It took me a few years to get to this point because it would've been a totally different story if I was typing this when I was younger. But I'm actually so grateful, and it makes me want to work harder. I just want the world to fulfill my parents' dream. While also being comfortable too, of course.

    When I was younger, one of my biggest dreams was to be an architect. Architects design beautiful architectural structures, but they don't make much money. At the moment, It's looking like I'm going into the medical field, starting as a Medical Assistant, then moving to a medical specialty. I'm okay with that because I plan to have a midlife crisis. By that time, I'll have enough money to sustain the way of living I want and be an architect. If I do end up doing that, it will come with its own challenges going into a different workforce at that age. Probably won't end up doing that, but it'll always be at the back of my mind. 

    I also have many other dreams, and everyone should. I made backup plans just in case the main ones don't work because I have to achieve all my goals in life. I'll have a big house and a big garden. I'll also have a small barn for all my little animals 𓃥𓃠𓆉𓆏𓃯𓃱𓃰. Or a compound with my siblings but far enough away from them so I'm not annoyed. Maybe by that time I'll be with the love of my life, traveling all over the world. Would be a few years until I settle down and start living in a house, though. I'll also have a job that makes me lots of money but still gives me free time for my family if I plan to have one. I know everything I dream of will come true if I try my best. 

    Once I get to the midpoint of my life, I really want to start actually helping others. I'll make something that can actually help people struggling. Haven't come up with a plan for it yet, but by that time I'll know.

    I tend to daydream while things are going on; I dream of everything other than the topic being discussed. Dream a lot but also try to live in the moment because what if one day your dream that you have had for years has come true, but you won't know because you're focusing on the next dream. I had a random daydream where it was raining money, but the money started combining into big tumbleweeds or like bowling balls and rolling over people. It was quite odd. But maybe it's my brain trying to tell me not to be so money-hungry.

 

    But not only do I want those things, but when I travel the world, I want to see all the unseen sights. I'm going to see everything up close, not through my phone screen. Also, I want to have a house on every continent. The houses have to be in the place that I love most on that continent. 

    I would also really like to buy houses and fix them up. Whenever I see people doing that on social media, it looks so fun. They also make such a great profit from it. But I've always wanted to design and build my own house, hence wanting to be an architect. We'll just have to see, I guess.

    Lastly, another one of my many dreams is Great health. I dream of having good health for the majority of my years alive can't say great health forever cause death is always coming for us. Don't mean to be morbid, but I don't want to be in pain till the time I die or get some disease that affects my way of life. Those are some of my dreams. I feel like they are pretty basic.

Hopes and Dreams are a part of what makes us human. What are yours?

An Introductory Post | Little About Madeline

Hello, my name is Madeline (Mad-duh-line). My name is nothing special, but I've been told it's sweet. I'm 16 at the moment and have strict parents, so I haven't had any of the so-called teenage experiences. That often makes me feel left out and lonely.

    I have never written about myself because I don't really know myself. I hope to find myself in these upcoming years. I realized I tend to mimic the people around me. I just want to have so much more love for myself because I really don't. But I hope to. I want to become the woman, or young lady, that I dreamed about being while watching shows and movies when I was younger.

    I plan to grow as a person and learn more about the world around me. I'm going to gain so much knowledge through school and also improve my social skills because I have none. I'm already a bubbly person, and I don't know what to do at times. But it's whatever at this point.

This blog is probably just going to be some of the many thoughts I have going on in my head. I hope to hear some of your thoughts too.

    Once I get a car, I want to have all the experiences I missed out on growing up; not to sound like one of those kids. My parents do love me they just want me to be safe, and I understand that. I really want to get into makeup and other girly things. I want to be the best, smartest, prettiest version of myself.

I just want to be gorgetastic, as Barbie would say.

Raquelle: I don't know. I think my outfit is, like, pretty gorge!

Barbie: Raquelle, did you, like, mean "gorgelicious" or "gorgetastic"?

Raquelle: No, like, Baarbie. I meant, like gorge!

Teresa: Are you learning a, like, foreign language?

Raquelle: It's short for gorgeous!

Combining the words gorgeous and fantastic. We don't have to be only gorgetastic; we can also be fantastically gorg. But I do also just like the way it sounds.

Follow my journey or our journey in becoming gorgetastic xoxo!!! 𐦂𖨆𐀪𖠋💕
