| I believe that the biggest mistake people make in relationships is expecting so much from your significant other to the point where you end up disliking their every flaw. When you come to the realization that they're not superman or they can't move entire mountains for you or that they're not that prince charming from that movie you saw last week, and end up feeling like there could have been so much more to this person. Feeling like they betrayed your expectations when in truth, yours were just too high. Wishing they could be a little more when they're doing just fine being themselves. Wanting to shape them into your vision of perfection when they could be perfect the way they are, if only you'd look a little deeper. I know this from experience and high expectations will always yield terrible results. Great guys that I've thrown away because they didn't come close to fitting someone else's shadow.
You can never truly shape someone completely to your liking and its wrong to even think of trying. A relationship is about caring for another person and being able to love them with all their flaws, look past their strange habits and whatnot and only setting your eyes on them for who they are and what they mean to you. It took me several years to learn this for myself: It's more important to love someone for who they are and not for the image portrayed before you combined with unrealistic expectations.

| Here's a short story I whipped up a little while ago. Any critiques would be nice. I know I'm not very good at this.
She lay strewn across her bed. Just another moment of another ordinary day.
She woke up as she usually did every morning. Bathe. Brush. Bounce. Rinse, lather, repeat. This routine never seemed to change, though if it did it would probably be troublesome. Every day began with her eyes greeting a halfhearted smile in the bathroom mirror. Followed by a zombiric march into the shower. Which eventually lead to personal grooming and a mad dash for the door. This morning was no different.
After getting out of bed she slowly inched her way to the bathroom with her head hung low. She looked up, flicked away the stray hairs that made if to her face, and did her usual morning smile. Her eyes were glassed over and as her melancholic grin faded, they shone brightly. 'It'll be fine...right?,' she thought to herself. She winced and cocked a grin that went from ear to ear. Poking her protruding cheek bones with her index fingers, she whispered to her reflection, "I'll. Be. Fine."
She ignored the droplets that slid just past her fingertips and continued her morning routine.
Rinse, lather, repeat.

| Name's Elixiate. I'm just a simple girl with simply strict parents. I'm unfortunately glued to this house without any say in the matter. Because of this, I can easily obsess over things. I love drawing, playing video games, customizing stuff, and writing micro mini short stories on occasion. With my drawings and stories I have a bad habit of creating infinite nameless characters. They have no purpose or depth to them, they just exist. Only a select few are actually cared for and continue being worked on. I love playing mmorpgs on my pc as well as rpgs on consoles. My current favorite mmorpg is Trickster Online. Its a great 2D game with great graphics and gameplay. You're not inclined to pay to get the better end of the deal, unlike a certain mmo I know of *koff* Mabinogi *koff*. I also used to play RO back in the day, but it kinda died to me after a few months when there wasn't much for me to do. When I'm not playing on my pc I'm on consoles playing games like Zelda and Jrpgs like Final Fantasy, Xenosaga, and the Tales series. I've also had a thing for customizing things, seeing as to how I've always hated having my stuff look generic and exactly like the rest of the crowd. I know a good bit of HTML and CSS and have coded out my myspace page a few times (even though I only log in once in a blue moon lol.) I've also had a thing for amvs. My favorite amv editor is Koopiskeva. that man is godly *_* . I can also bake a little. And that's all for now :o
