Merry Christmas, Happy End of Finals, Happy almost 2011...all that.

Friends with benefits, known for this post as FWB, is not a bad invention when used properly. Like most other fine entities in life, there's an art to it...a way to dodge feelings and emotions and focus on what is most important--getting _________. Fill in the blank however you'd like. I'd personally choose a word that begins with O and rhymes with hoff.

Ok, a bit stoic of me. Oops. But, the issue with FWB or like or lust or anything that is not that ultimate head over heels love is that you reach a point where you have to censor yourself, and more specifically, your heart. You find yourself caring about someone or their well-being and realize that you can't care that much because then it gets serious and blurs the nature of the relationship.

Bottom line: Doable but not easy. However, not everyone deserves your whole heart. Not even your whole self. I hesitated to write that last sentence but it's true...you can't give everyone EVERYTHING you have. Then, you don't have anything left for you.

I'm just rambling tonight. No witty sign off.

Love freely,
