What’s wrong with being happy?
I just don’t get it. Seriously. Someone help me out…
Apparently, from other blogs that I’ve been reading lately, people don’t want to read blogs where people are actually happy and enjoying their lives, and are truly, deeply in love with their partner. WTF? Isn’t this a good thing? Does blogging always have to be about superficial, cynical crap?
Yes, I do get a tad mushy on here occasionally… But you know, I’m happy, and if you don’t like reading that fact, don’t read my blog! Self censor instead of putting down happy people, I say! My preferance is to read blog entries about real life, and I am particularily pleased when I read about someone I know finding happiness. How on earth can this be a bad thing?
It’s not like all I ever talk about on this blog relates to how in “luurve” I am with Michael — I do have plenty of other things on my mind and happening around me. But, ya know, when my Sweetie writes something special on his blog, and then I hear later that people have made him feel embarrassed about writing such things to the point that he considered (*gasp*) deleting his entry… Well, I just think that’s ridiculous.
As always, I welcome your views!

Enjoy this beautiful time together – you two are in the euphoric, chemical charged stage now and its blissful and sublime! I’ve been with my guy now for 5 years and not a day has passed that I’ve not thought about him. It only gets better with time. :0)
I am starting to think that some in blogdom are like those bitchy girls in high school. It is all about the drama drama drama. My hits go up and so do my comments when I blog about the Vile Teenager but when I’m “happy” with life and there is no drama, my hits go down. I don’t understand.
Whatever. Be happy! Enjoy it because any grownup knows it doesn’t feel good every. single. day.
Hi Erika! Great to see you drop by and comment… Thanks for the thoughtful remarks! I agree, this is an amazing time, and every day gets even more awesome!
Looking forward to meeting you sometime soon! Michael talks about you all the time!
Here here: the world is a sad enough place as it is. Keep the happies coming. A strong relationship is an inspiration to everyone who witnesses it. And I’ll never tire reading of the love others have.
It merely reinforces why my own marriage is such an incredible blessing.
Okay… Comment problem fixed! Sorry about the comment posting disaster from this morning. Serves me right making changes before I have had any coffee!
Thanks for your feedback on the entry guys — (well, maybe except Java). And Jen, trust me, we always value your comments: They’re always thoughtful!
I commented on mj’s post a little while ago and I hope I didn’t say anything that would make him feel embarrassed. Even though I am so not the mushy type it is really sweet to hear the two of you so much in love. I think that it is great and don’t let anyone tell either of you any different! If other people can’t handle it then ask them to leave. Lol there is my two cents.. probably closer to a nickel
Tanya sure talks about her male a lot hey everyone? Hey! Everyone!?!?
well, I don’t mind any of it really… I think it’s cute and makes me excited to be in love
I do get bored with excessive boyfriend/girlfriend posts sometimes but you guys don’t seem bad to me… hrm… I guess what I don’t like reading is when someone doesn’t really have their *own* voice… when you get into a relationship and it’s all about the OTHER person but you guys more talk about your personal feelings relating to each other which I like more… but when I find things too mushy I simply don’t read them… I can’t believe people sometimes…
I honestly don’t have a problem with it. It is nice to know you are happy and obviously Michael is a big part of that, so why not share…is that not what a “blog” is for, to share your lives with those who want to read about it?
To be honest, I think those people who are giving you and Michael a hard time, are any one of the below.
Either fondly teasing you, unhappy with their own love life and have to make others who are happy feel embarrassed about theirs, haven’t ever felt the wonder of true love or have forgotten how they once felt when they had found that special “one”.
You two are wonderful, keep on spreading the beauty of your love to everyone who wants to read it, so enjoy and marvel in the excitement of new things and new adventures together and continue to share it with those who want to read about it. I think it is wonderful, and to those of you who don’t…I feel sorry for you.
=)
Hey.. Tanya and MJ, I have never seen you so happy before Tanya. I know how long it took for you to find such a wonderful man, and what hardship you went through. I am so happy for both of you, and It makes me sick that some other people would want to try to “burst your bubble”. Who cares what anyone else says. You have to stay true to yourselves, and have the freedom to express yourselves the way you want…. openly and honestly. It takes alot of guts to put your heart and soul out for everyone to read. It’s very refeshing to read about your guys “love” for each other. Tell MJ to stick to his guns, and keep doing what HE thinks is best. It’s his blog, if other people don’t want to read that kind of love and stuff… then don’t read it, but please… people, don’t put someone else down for how they are feeling…. it might be you one day. Have a great day, and keep smilin’ guys.
I hope he doesn’t delete his entry. Folks just like to boost their own feelings about themselves by comparing their lives to other folks with bigger problems. I know quite a few bloggers that actually play on this phenomenon, and do pretty much nothing but rant about the “raw deal” life has handed them… I guess for some, this means big traffic, but unfortunately, I think it becomes an expectation for some readers that all blogs should be cynical and harsh. Of course, I personally don’t agree with this way of thinking, but it is what I’ve observed.
Tell your Honey to leave his post up and take pride in his happiness.
