Holy lord, I haven't written anything in this bad boy for quite some time. How about we try to get back in the swing of things shall we? There has been a pressing issue on my mind for awhile now, and I haven't really come up with a way to address it without bashing another person. I touch on things such as relationships fairly often in this blog, but that's probably because I know a lot about them. I've thought and thought, and still it comes off in a bit of a harsh way... SO I'm going to write about it anyway, because that's just how I do things.
I'm sure almost everyone has experienced the part of a relationship where the spark seems to have faded away. You dread the moment when you have to end it with the other person and you lose sleep over it and OHMYGAWD the world is going to implode upon itself! Well, frankly, that really isn't going to happen. I understand that it may be stressful and just horrible, but it's not the end of existence as we know it. NOW, this leads me into my next, and possibly most important point. When should we say "enough is enough"? Now, I've said before that we should try to make a relationship work, even if the relationship falls on difficult terms. I still believe whole-heartedly, that if you've never gotten into a fight in your relationship, the relationship is not healthy.
Now, which is worse? Is it worse to be broken down and beaten after your significant other breaks your heart OR for the person to lie and provide you with a false sense of love? Now, as you're reading this, I wouldn't doubt that most of you responded to my rhetorical question in your head by saying, "Well, by gosh golly-gee, I wouldn't want to be lied to!" or something of the sort. I'm not judging you for sounding like you're from the 50s, it's cool don't worry about it. I'll never mention this again. ANYWAYS, it's pretty easy to choose the obvious answer without having gone through something like this. There actually are circumstances where you fall madly enough in love with someone to the point that you put up blinders to anything negative about the person. This is not necessarily right, annnnnd it normally fades with time. With someone who worships their partner, even if they might not want to admit it, they probably would rather have the person lie to them so they can continue living in their fantasy world. They would probably just not be willing to admit this to themselves, nevertheless someone else.
Now, the main point I'm trying to make here is not necessarily that all people are out to hurt you and you should be skeptical and paranoid and yadda yadda yadda. What I'm trying to say is that some people will manipulate you. That's just the way the world is. I understand that you might want to be all happy and optimistic about things but take it from me, your optimism will fade right alongside your hope for humanity. I don't really write these blogs because I think that any of you agree with what I have to say, I simply write to provoke your own thoughts. I'm tired of our society just not caring about anything that is really important. Since when does "The Jersey Shore" trump Shakespeare? I really don't want to live in a world like that, ladies and gentlemen. Stop being desensitized by the world around you and actually start living.
