Should Marriage Take Lessons From Car Dealerships?BY: MAC
First of all I should mention I have never been married and am only 20 years old. Although I am still young I have thought about marriage and children. I know that I want to get married and have a child, however I DO NOT want that child coming out of my body because I cannot even bare period pain, let alone a human being exiting me! Now consider this idea I have, to eliminate divorce and the agony people feel after their divorces I propose that we create leases for our significant others. These leases would be exactly like a car lease. It would go a little something like the following. The lease would be a contract agreed upon by both parties, the man and woman. They would decide to get “joined” for five years. If at the end of those five years they are pleased with the interior of the vehicle along with the less important exterior, they can renew their lease, for life, or for simply another five years. The trick is the big white wedding would not occur with the leases. The 500 people white wedding occurs if you buy the car and decide that you no longer wish to lease the car. This means that the cost of a wedding will not be spent until the couple knows they will likely be successful together. The interior of the car is the engine, the leather seats and the wheel. These are synonymous to the heart of the significant other. The heart and soul is the most important aspect of the person you love. If this changes, the lease should not be renewed. The exterior of the car is also important however, in my opinion if the interior engine of the car is still compassionate than a few dents and scratches on the car simply show character. Now on a political note, if marriage was a lease, this could solve the issue of gay marriage perhaps. Wouldn’t you love to see Washington debate gay marriage leases?! To sum it up, if we make a contract with our significant other than our marriages will occur later on in life, divorces will not be common and children will grow up with both parents instead of visiting one parent on the weekends. So...should marriage take lessons from car dealerships?

Worth the Wait
"IT'S AMAZING"
~ Jem ~
Do it now, you know who you are
You feel it in your heart
And you're burning and wishing
At first, wait, won't get it on a plate
You're gonna have to work for it
Harder and harder
And I know cause I've been there before
Knocking on the doors with rejection
And you'll see cause if it's meant to be
Nothing can compare to deserving your dream
It's amazing, it's amazing
All that you can do
It's amazing, makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you
Patience, now frustrations in the air
And people who don't care
Well, it's gonna get you down
And you'll fall, yes you will hit a wall
but get back on your feet
And you'll be stronger and smarter
And I know cause I've been there before
Knocking down the doors, won't take no for an answer
And you'll see cause if it's meant to be
Nothing can compare to deserving your dream
It's amazing, it's amazing
All that you can do
It's amazing, makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you
Don't be embarrassed, don't be afraid
Don't let your dreams slip away
Determination using your gift
Everybody has a gift
Never give up, never let it die
Trust your instincts and most importantly
You've got nothing to lose
So just go for it
It's amazing, it's amazing
All that you can do
It's amazing, makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you
It's amazing, it's amazing
All that you can do
It's amazing, makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you

Follow your Heart
I've been looking for a sign and I think I found it today.
Today's events affirmed for me what I've known in my heart all along.
I just have to continue working toward it. The road is not smooth, but I will find a way because I know it will bring me pure joy.
