Labels

Everything (in regard to relationships and the Psych Grad Student and even the Photographer) seems so much clearer right now.
There are still a few details to work out, but I think I have handled the situation with the Psych Grad pretty well.
I like him. He likes me.
We both felt way too much pressure from people around us and each other as a result of a couple of stupid labels.
Who needs them?
I was trying to be what I thought he/society wanted me to be as a girlfriend, and he was trying to be what he thought I/society wanted him to be.
The truth is that every one is different and so their relationships will be to. What works for one doesn't work for another. We have to make our own rules, go at our own pace, do what feels right to us. We shouldn't care what other people think we should or shouldn't be doing or care about what point in the relationship we should be at.
I don't care what you think about how I live my life. As long as I'm happy with it that's what matters.
Ironically we were more attracted to each other (and less stressed) when we both felt no pressure to be anything except ourselves.

I'm just gonna be happy and do my thing.
Also, 11 days until my next tattoo. So excited!
