I hope you know that we’re okay now.
from everything, I’ve learned that there’s a lot to learn. about everything. about patience, about loyalty, about commitment, about dedication, about motivation, about sacrifice, about trust, about morals, and about what it takes to have a healthy relationship.
I’ve learned that people screw up because something’s missing in the other person that they seek in someone else. and even though we try our best to keep the relationship going, if there’s no communication, no trust, no commitment, no honesty, you don’t have a relationship, you have a relationshit.
I’ve also learned, the more you complain to people about your problems, the more they see the bad in your significant other because they don’t see the sunny side of the relationship if you never talk about it. I learned to go to him directly if I have a problem, than to involve friends in my relationship. the more people in your business the worse the relationship gets.
I’ve learned that to be a better girlfriend, I’d have to stop making him pull all the work because he screwed up. honestly, I screwed up just as hard. I pushed him to the limit without pulling any effort because I was hurt. but making him feel worse than he’d already felt, doesn’t help motivate him to keep the relationship going.
I need to pull my part of the relationship as much as he’s pulling his part. 100% honest, commitment, effort, and communication all the time.
(because I deleted this back when we broke up.) I want it back on my blog.

I love the new Team Avatar but I am so tired of them getting their asses kicked.
Alright, here’s when I’m tagged in for this fight…
I am sick and tired of seeing these kinds of things everywhere: I love Korra, but she was definitely built up to be this badass bender and she just falls short so often, or, alternately, these guys are great but they really can’t bend compared to their A:TLA counterparts, or why do they lose so much, or whatever other variation you come across. It’s everywhere. People hating on Korra. Don’t worry babies, I will defend you.
So here’s how I see it:
1. We see a lot more action in this series because it is curtailed and therefore really focused in, so there are, to begin with, far more opportunities for the new Team Avatar to lose a battle. That said, of the main battles the original Team Avatar engaged in (Siege of The North, The Drill, The Ba Sing Se Catacombs Catastrophe, The Invasion, and The Comet) the GAang lost two of five. Counting all their other encounters with Azula and Ozai’s Angels and Zuko, I’d say they had a one for one record of loss and victory. The reality is Korra has only really been defeated in two major conflicts (against the mechatanks, and now against Tarrlok).
2. Korra is up against several incredibly advanced and numerous enemies: early on against the Equalists and chi-blockers, Korra just had no way of dealing with them effectively, having never experienced anything remotely close to their technique or strategy, but later on, she adapted and was clearly more capable when pitted against them. Just look at her battle with The Lieutenant! She is pretty much flawless: a fighting machine. Alright, but then we have Amon, who is virtually untouchable with his agility, the mechatanks, which are virtually indestructible with their sophisticated design and calculated conception. Oh yeah, now throw Tarrlok, a Waterbender with virtually limitless power, capable of Bloodbending, presumably, at any time of day, any day.
3. All of these enemies are thrown on top of this new Team. They aren’t on some journey to the next stronghold, fleeing this or that pursuant party, and they aren’t progressively preparing for their next encounter. In Republic City Korra and her friends are at a constant risk of encountering Amon and the Equalists! As we’ve clearly seen, random, catastrophic incidents can occur anywhere regardless of presumed safety and protection, or even despite said precautionary preparation! And think about Tarrlok: the extent of his power and influence is limitless, as he has so mercilessly demonstrated in the most recent episode.
4. Korra’s friends are not as insanely gifted and disproportionately endowed as Aang’s were. Heck, despite Korra and Asami’s extensive, life-long training, Mako and Bolin have had no formal bending training outside of the bending vanity-sphere of Pro-bending! They do surprisingly well this considered.
Essentially, just based on probability and Korra’s most definitely disparate situation, they’re going to lose more than they win. And think of Aang’s advantages! He had access to the Avatar State whenever he absolutely needed it. Spirits, he was wired to it for 100 years! He was just so spiritually predisposed that no matter how great the threat he faced, he always had this kind of safety-net with the Avatar State. Korra has this block, the cause of which hasn’t exactly been made known, and as all the evidence would suggest, no matter how much epinephrine and other stress hormones she has pumping through her veins, there’s no cosmic source of power coming to her rescue.
I also just want to comment on how far my babies have come! This episode they were a Equalist-capturing-and-coercing machine! They did so well compared to how they’ve fared in the past against them. And Korra successfully intervened on the behalf of all those innocent Nonbenders, overpowering the several Metalbending cops holding them aloft on those platforms of Earth when she grounded them again!
And talk about her fight with Tarrlok! He had a nearly unlimited source of Water, at the very least and endless one, and despite his skill and initial success in combatting her, she controlled the situation and totally outranked him as a bender. She is so badass, and anyone who can’t see her sheer power as a triple-threat, Water, Earth, and Firebender, is somehow deluded or oblivious. She has mastered these three elements, and to a far greater degree than Aang did as a kid during the last series.
My point in defending Korra here is to evince the truth of the situation: Korra is in a far more constantly dangerous and beleaguered situation than Aang ever was. Whereas the fun-loving Airbender spent the majority of his tale engaged in zany adventures while he embarked on what were basically three distinct segments of an epic journey, Korra is stuck training while trying to deal with the most unimaginable and dangerous threats thrown at her. She constantly shifts and readjusts and copes. Flight and evasion isn’t an option for her, while it was essentially Aang’s entire journey. This is apt as we really see a kind of poetic illustration of their opposing natures and situations.
meesami is on
This kid has a special place in my heart.
