What is a relationship? and How do you love?

“If there is a question, then there must be an answer, even if it’s one you don’t like.”

So my mind has been drawn to the topic of relationship and having a girlfriend.  Could I manage one?  Do I need one?  What are the benefits?  Do you just have one to have one?

I bet some girls may pop the same questions.  What is a boyfriend?  Could they manage having one?  Do they need one?  What are the benefits?  Do you just have one to have one?

I am puzzled to this date on why I would need one for it’s just so random how in a field I use to know so much and so sure about, I have been distancing myself away from.  It’s just became such unfamiliar territory for me.  It’s like I have grown pass just a name and a title and don’t have the energy needed to sustain one how I use to.

I usually think of a relationship as something you have when you are deeply embedded into someone and sharing your world and love with them.  I always thought it was just that easy, just have communication, trust, love and be committed and it’s the key.  It’s like I know what it takes to love, and could love, can show love, but can I really truly love at this moment in time?

I feel I am loving something more…There is a taste in the air I haven’t tasted that keeps flying by me.  How do I focus on love?

My thoughts as I get older, just takes a lot of energy out of me constantly.  I don’t feel it replenished just right.  So I and left stranded on certain thoughts.  My thinking process has evolved to a peak that I still haven’t define as yet, in my opinion.

I think some deep self discovery is much-needed on my part.  I feel I been working at it, but not reaching anywhere closer to an answer.  I feel the more my career or creativity jumps and leaps, the less I feel for intimacy or love as you may say (thinking to myself, this can’t be right).  But when the roads may seem to be rocky, it’s like there is an opening that appears out of nowhere and changes me again.

Maybe I need to chill out or just maybe there is just a calling my ears in not tuned into.

Do you ever have weird thoughts and understandings of things you just can’t explain immediately?  When something goes good for you, what tends to go bad as a result of it?

Thanks for reading and thinking with me

To Be “Freshly Pressed” by @WordPress @WordPressdotcom

I almost cried when I saw that I am “Freshly Pressed” on WordPress.  I was so excited.  I didn’t know what to expect from being on the front page and the #1 spot out of anything else.  To many it may seem as a big deal because they only want to have fame from being “Freshly Pressed“, but my reasons for being excited was I have been blogging for over 4 years on wordpress.com and being blogging ever since 2000 in total when people have never really knew what blogging was.

As of December 2010 I decided to set on the journey to be one of the BEST bloggers in the Blog-O-Sphere and never look back at my average posts as I use to do.  I wanted to be more personal, more creative, more interactive and more social with everyone.  So I decided to put my life in the everything I do.  This was the why I held my WordPress Blog and My YouTube Channel as my top priority and I said I am going to do it and never stop.

Thanks to WordPress and it’s motivational and inspirational goal to help bloggers by creating the challenge “PostADay2011” and “PostAWeek2011” I was definitely hype to get on board and grow as a blogger and challenge myself to produce great content.  So I started doing “PostADay2011” and set my goal to be featured one day on “Freshly Pressed” in 2011 as of January 2011.  I wrote everyday and posted everyday to make sure I on top of this challenge and NEVER FAIL.  I was a bit discouraged that others were being featured and I felt I was writing great content, but I said to myself that me writing blogs and content is NOT for FAME, it’s about doing me and enjoying what I do everyday no matter if anyone ever sees it.  I loved blogging and I ready to set my progress.  Also I was always helpful and spreading the good word and tools that WordPress offered.  The best advice I could give to everyone, was START TODAY and JUST DO IT and NEVER STOP or LOOK BACK (only to reflect from where you are coming from).  So after 6 months going on 7 months I reached to where I am now, Freshly Pressed and one of my GOALS to MYSELF in 2011 accomplished by being featured on the main page.

There is only one thing that can express my feelings to being “Freshly Pressed” and that’s just a BIG O SMILE.

Note to Self: Respond to COMMENTS on your Youtube and WordPress

Leave Me Alone

I have been on the move in and out of projects and working a 9 to 5, and haven’t got a chance sit down and read my comments and respond to the folks that took the time to leave a comment.  That’s the same time I have been begging people to take, which is a simple 5-30 seconds to leave a comment to ask a question, respond to a post, or just to say hey I pass through.

I feel bad because I like to get back to people super fast and on time.  But I will definitely respond to all of them this weekend.  I don’t like to leave easy responses.  I like to interact and talk and really answer and response to key levels of others comment.  So I did have time respond, but not the way I wanted to.

It is very important respond to comments on your WordPress (in which we are at) and also your YouTube page (if you have one, and I believe EVERYONE should have one) via it’s helps you build and make new friends with strangers and especially your subscribers.  You want to know how they are feeling, what they like about your posts or videos to help better your skills.  It’s also fun and cool to check out their blogs and drop some comments, and see if there may be a bond or similar interest of you both.

Everyone wants comments and feedback, so make sure you go out and interact, and respond to your comments.  I need to follow my own advice.  I mean I do, I just need to do it faster or on a schedule.  Try to develop a schedule or routine to answer your comments or view others blogs or video pages.  I say (2) times a week is great start, but if SUPER BUSY, at least and nothing less than once a week and make sure you answer all you can or try to.

PS: This was written as a word of advice to myself and to everyone else at in the Blog-O-Sphere and Video-o-Sphere, get social and interact, respond you your comments.

Do you take the time to respond to your blog comments?  Do you get back to them in a timely manner?  Do you like to get comments on your blog or videos?

Thanks for reading
Richardo
