Put it on a shelf with a label on it.

People want to put you on a shelf for display with their label for you on your jar. Usually they want to write on your label in bright red. Your jar is on that eye level shelf. That label is facing out. They smile. The lock you into some type, something… but what if you are not what they think. Don’t worry they already made up their mind and that label is there to stay.

The same goes for relationships. Is it always 100% necessary to label the status of your relationship for others? Dating? Friends? Best Friends? More than friends? Married? Single? Divorced? Widowed? Friends with benefits? Talking? What if my situation does not fit these labels? Does it make it wrong? Does it mean it is going to fail? What is it? What do you tell people when they ask ‘what is going on with..’?

The easiest solution is to say best friends. “That’s my best friend!”

Why? Because you can unconditionally love your best friend. Your best friend is in your family. You adore your best friend. You want to spend time with your best friend. You want to surprise and capture your best friends heart forever.

So. I’m in this very complicated, understanding, truthful, caring, compassionate, flirtatious, friendship; best friendship. The lines of communication are wide open. The lines are shaded gray and very blurry. We’re just going to run with it. Whatever happens, happens. No labels.

I am truly the happiest I have ever been. I am growing up because of this. My life is changing quickly in front of my eyes. My best friend and I share this close bond that I have with no one else in this world. That is an amazing feeling.

So the question then is. What do you think about labels for people, relationships, etc?
