3 legs of a relationship

On this day, God wants you to know

... that every relationship rests on three legs: accepting, supporting and challenging. That's really it, isn't it? You want your relationships to be grounded on accepting each other as you are. On supporting each other through the inevitable ups and downs. On challenging each other to become more, to grow, to flourish.

I like this quote from Kay's status. It's so true about relationships - be it friendship, family or even romantic relationships. 

Sing this to me please?

It was only last weekend that I noticed that there were more differences to Boyce Avenue's version of Teenage dream aside from the acoustic-ness of it... they changed the lyrics too! And it made it super sweet and romantic (not to mention wholesome). Awwwww. When I find the one in the future, can you please sing this to me? hehehe

Here's the video and lyrics (differences from Katy's in parenthesis)

I think you're pretty 

Without any makeup on 

I think you're funny 

When you tell the punchline wrong 

I knew you got me 

So you let your walls come down, down 

Before you met me 

I was alright, but things 

Were kinda heavy 

You brought me to life 

Now every February 

You'll be my Valentine, Valentine 

Let's just talk all through the night (Let's go all the way tonight)

There's no need to rush (No regrets, just love)

We can dance, until we die 

You and I, will be young forever 

[Chorus] 

You make me feel 

Like I'm livin' a Teenage dream 

The way you turn me on 

I can't sleep 

Let's run away and 

Don't ever look back, Don't ever look back 

My heart stops 

When you look at me 

Just one touch 

Now baby I believe 

This is real 

So take a chance and 

Don't ever look back, Don't ever look back 

When you're around me, (We drove to Cali)

Life's like a movie scene (And got drunk on the beach)

I wasn't happy, (Got a motel and)

Until you became my queen (Built a fort out of sheets)

I finally found you, 

My missing puzzle piece 

I'm complete 

I'mma get your heart racing 

If that's what you need, (In my skin-tight jeans)

In this teenage dream tonight (Be your teenage dream tonight)

Let you rest your head on me, (Let you put your hands on me)

If that's what you need, (In my skin-tight jeans)

In this teenage dream tonight, tonight, tonight 

Tonight
