it's been a crazy couple of weeks - between the midterms, tight time constraints and lack of sleep, i have been very grumpy. unfortunately this means that i have been letting out my frustrations on z and vice versa. usually we're able to cope with all the stresses but sometimes it gets to be too much and instead of working together, we begin to work against each other. we start to distance ourselves from the other and though the space can be a good thing, it becomes another stress factor when the space is filled with resentment and hostility.
after being together for 5 years, we have become accustomed to the occasional argument here and there but when we start to consistently reveal nothing but negativity, it becomes a problem. i have to admit that i'm mostly to blame for this since i have a hard time expressing and controlling my emotions - it's an issue i have recently recognized and am trying to deal with, but with it being a learned behavior, is a lot easier said than done.
i am hoping that this weekend can be used to getting back to the "US" i love. a halloween party was canceled so we're taking full advantage - spending quality time together, something we haven't had enough of lately.
never take the people you love for granted. take a minute to appreciate them this weekend and have a happy, safe halloween. xoxoxx
