How to deal...or take. the break-up.


Good after noon Internet. With Valentine's day over (or singles awareness day, as i so affectionately call it.) I thought it would be a good time to talk about break-ups. We all have to deal with one, either on the receiving end or you the one dealing it. It can be VERY awkward and heartbreaking and painful. And in the end both of you will most likely be sad, or regretting something you did in the relationship. Today, I plan on Talking about the ominous break up. So, first things first. Where do you do it? It may seem obvious that you should NEVER do it over the phone or through e-mail or text, but you would be surprised at how many people still do it, most likely because they re afraid of something like your reaction or how the situation will end so they choose to cut off connection with you. With a connection. If you plan on doing this whatever you do, DON'T do it! it's just a very bad idea. Think about it. A good idea to do it in a place that, isn't very busy. (So the to-be-ex won't feel embarrassment in front of other people and they will most likely be more understanding instead of causing a scene.) Another wise thing to do is to NOT do it at one of your ''places'' this meaning a place which has sentimental value to both of you (for example: a park where you always met) because this place may have held a new beginning it would be terrible if it held a terrible end. So, now that you've found a place its time for another important aspect of dealing the break up is the timing. You (obviously) don't want to do it when your to-be-ex is happy and on top of the world. Or when he or she is feeling terrible. So pick a time that is neutral, it might be wise to do it lightly. Talk calmy, and don't be hostile and try to sound like ''its not you its me.'' A piece of advice if your on the receiving end of the break up is to just be calm. You have to understand that sometimes things ao be. And think of this: If you really loved them wouldn't you rather they be happier with someone else than feel constricted in the current relationship? It may or may not have been you but sometimes people arnt meant to be together. So the best thing to do is move on, when you dwell on the past you just become more and more depressed. That's all for today world. I hope many relationships stay strong and healthy. (If you need further advice feel free to drop me an email at: pascal_blogger@hotmail.com also I was kinda hesitant to release this post because I was very tired while doing it, So it may not be my best work -X.oxo Pascal.

It was getting hot in the closet. So I got out.


In today's post I'm going to talk about a very difficult chapter in my life. Coming out. Coming out of what? The closet, yes I'm gay (is it a surprise by now?) And what I want to achieve in this post is to maybe give some tips or help to some teens who are struggling with a very fragile and complicated thing that can change your life. So, how did I come out? I did it in a very wrong way. I told my sister, and i should have known better because throughout my life she would constantly deceive me and tell all my secrets to my parents. So why would I tell her? Well she actually brought it up while I was visiting at my grandmothers house, she just mentioned people who are gay in general (not in a bad way or anything, I can't really remember it) And it plucked a string in me, and i started to breakdown. That barrier that I usually keep up with a big steel door with hundreds of locks on it, all came tumbling down and in a moment of false security I told her. And as she usually did she put on a nice face, pretended she had some compassion and tried to get as much information as possible. And as usual I told her just enough and more fore her to get me in trouble with my parents, and boy was there trouble. My father (who is European) Completely over-reacted. He went off on some crazy rant about Europe and how a man must marry a woman and have children etc. etc. (and what I found a little funny was at the end of the 'conversation' was he said ''FINE! if you want to take it up the ass that's fine!'' and he stormed out, it was so hard not snicker) My mother on the other hand took very well, it was almost creepy. I wasn't expecting her to be so comfortable with it, but I'm glad she did of course. (me and her are very close and open about it) And I guess the main reason my father was really mad was because i didn't tell him FIRST so if I could give one piece of advice it would have to be: tell your parents first. It may seem like an impossible task and it is probably one of the scariest things you will do in your entire life. But it is worth it, and no matter what they will love you, because they're your parents. And if it starts to get a little out of hand just calm them down and tell them that it wasn't your choice, your not blaming them but tell them that you are born that way so you haven't changed since you where born and they loved you then so they should continue to love you. (and they will) Another important thing is friends. And this is something that will determine who your real friends are. Your real friends will stick with you and support you in this difficult time. So I encourage all of my readers who are in the closet to come out and be proud of who you are. Oh i almost forgot I also wanted to touch on Valentine's day or as I like to call it, singles awareness day. But the best way to get through it is friends, go hang out, go shopping, get together, have a sleep over whatever. But what ever you do try to stay out of the V-day blues. There will always be a way to find that special someone and just because a bunch of company's chose a day to make single people feel terrible doesn't mean you have to suffer through it. Get some martini's and have a good time. (OH! and my friend just started her own blog go check it out at: http://x-vee-x-x.blogspot.com/ its pretty good and its her first post so be nice guys :P)

I know i haven't been able to right on my blog as much as i originally set out to do, but the thing is I'm not sure if anyone is really reading this (although I have two followers, thanks guys :]) And what should I talk about? I'm not sure myself, yeah video games, fashion and news is great but i really want to broaden my horizons (I can't even find my blog on google!) At the begining I wanted to write out my life as I go along, and maybe help people with their life, give them advice even. So I do stress to not heasitate to send me an e-mail at pascal_blogger@hotmail.com also, I have HUGE NEWS!
