This probably won't be too long, since I don't have much to say at the moment.
You ever wondered if everyone around you is insane? As in their actions don't match their thoughts or feelings?
One of my friends just broke up with her boyfriend because he's constantly driving her crazy. Constantly accusing her of being disloyal and cheating on him. For months now he's been doing this, going so far as to insult her friends by telling her that we're "corrupting her moral fiber."
Now she's thinking of getting back with him because it "feels wrong to not be with him."
If someone makes you feel like shit, then you have no reason to get back with them. Sometimes you need to wait out the pain in order to find what is really good for you. You need to learn to let go and understand when something cannot happen or isn't good for you.
I know what people say. "You don't know what it's like. You don't understand pain."
If you're someone who's gone through real pain and suffering in your life, and know what it's like to feel true despair, then you know what I'm about to talk about.
If you're one of the whiny teenage wannabe emo-kids who i get that from, let me make one thing perfectly clear: I do indeed understand pain. I cannot stand people who have been coddled their entire lives trying to explain to me that because their parents cut them off that their lives are over.
They don't know what its like to lose someone you knew your entire life. They don't know what it's like to have to sit down and give up on a dream because they couldn't cut it. They've never sat down and put their blood, sweat, and tears into something and watch it fall apart like a piece of wet cardboard.
I have. And it bugs me to deal with people who don't know the first thing about how cold and unrelenting reality is. Sometime I want to knock some sense into them, but I know reality is the best teacher.
I'm probably coming off as a bit of a jackass right now, and I'm sorry for that. It gets to me when people complain about how bad their lives are, and how important their problems are, when they're insignificant in the long run.
I guess I'll end this here since it was meant to be short. If anyone is offended by this, I'm sincerely sorry for that. But that isn't going to stop me from getting it off my chest.
anger,
sadness,
frustration
