It's peculiar to me how, no matter how much you love someone, you can only handle them for so long.
Whether it is your best friend, your sister, father, mother, brother or any other family member or close friend... no matter how much you love them and enjoy them, you can only handle so much of them.
Eventually too much time with any one of them and every little thing begins to irk you. After so much time together, you inevitably need time apart.
Which gets me thinking... how is it, this being true, that we are supposed to spend the rest of our lives with one person?
As I have experienced living with a boyfriend, for two years.. I know how difficult it is to get your own space and on your own time. I feel like a lifetime of that would cause me to go insane.
Because no matter how much you love them, or how much you love being around them... That doesn't prevent you from needing space.
I mean I suppose I survived it living with my siblings, parents etc.... but that was because I knew eventually... it would end. that living with them was not deemed to be permanent.
I saw Angels and Demons tonight. I was thoroughly disappointed. I know movies are never entirely true to the book, but wow... so many aspects of the story were changed around completely or even omitted entirely. It was disappointing how my favorite plot twist, the part that made the book actually worth reading for me, was totally left out.
I made myself sick off popcorn..like I always do. I am eating an apple now, hoping to counteract the mounds of grease in my stomach.
I ordered another book online today. I now have 3 books heading my way. 2 fiction, 1 non. I am anxiously anticipating their arrival.
Have had a few days break from studying. Going to hit it tomorrow full force again. My brain is rested and recharged. I'm actually looking forward to it.
Got a bit too much sun today. Ouch. Also ate delicious Thai food today. All in all, a good day.
