Scars

For anyone who is not aware, I am completely obsessed with a handful of things. 
Zombies
Bad Movies (Netflix is a great haven for lost and forgotten, Straight to DVD "films". My favorite kind.), Nintendo
Batman
Seinfeld, 
Community, 
and the top of the list is, naturally, Dinosaurs..naturally..

While watching Walking With Beasts (Once again on Netflix, they also have an amazing selection of educational material and documentaries that I enjoy frequently) I catch boyfriend, watching me and smiling. I ask why, but I know its because he thinks it's adorable how excited I am, to watch my favorite docu-drama series. I was lying in bed this morning (My attempts to start getting up early in the morning, have thus far been an astounding failure) I was thinking about how happy he looked, watching me the night before, and how at ease it made me. 
All I was doing was what made me happy. I was in the mood to watch Dinosaurs so I did, and me being happy, made boyfriend happy. 

Maybe worrying about yourself isn't as selfish as I think it is. I think that the only way we can make anyone else happy. or be happy being with someone else, is if we are happy with ourselves first. That is not to say that we should put others out to make ourselves happy. 

The again, there is nothing more unattractive to me than a guy who feels the need to state, "I'm going to do whatever I want to, regardless" It's ignorant and childish, on top of inconsiderate and a little demeaning. It is foolish to assume that someone who cares about you doesn't want you to be happy. Why are you with them, in that case? It's also giving the impression that you don't value the person you're saying it to, or any of their needs. Someone who opened up to you in such a personal way, probably had a tough time doing it. It likely took hours of thinking about it and worrying about what to say so the message was clear and not misunderstood. This small selfish action will change how that person looks at you for a very long time. If they ever forget it at all.
I once approached a guy I was dating about something that he was doing that made me really uncomfortable. I said I wanted to talk about it because it made me worry and made me really uncomfortable. He responded by saying "I'm going to do whatever I want", without even looking away from the television. I was completely crushed. 
Saying this, or something similar to this to a "loved one" will change how she/he looks at you. It will affect every conversation you have after that, because that person now knows the level of regard you have for their feelings. You'll mostly likely see the level at which they hold you're feelings and happiness lower to meet yours. making you both less happy, and that person's view of you to be a little less than what it was..
