They've been married 23 years. Such an achievement considering I look around and see how people can't even last a year these days. My parents have gone through a lot, and yet they are still together.
Some people break up after some stupid shit like money or gaining a few fucking pounds. My parents put some faith in me that relationships can work if people tried. It just seems like that want to try pretty much died in my generation. Sure, people try other things, but in places where it counts, they'd rather say "Fuck it," and give up. I know there are places where in fact a relationship just won't work, like abuse and such things, but it seems with normal relationships that can work, people don't want. Kind of why I don't feel so bad being single.
"It's better to have loved then lost, than never to have loved at all," is a bullshit saying. Those who've wanted a good relationship, and had their hearts broken go through a worse pain than someone just being lonely. Instead of being all emo about being alone, I thank whatever is out there that I don't have to go through the kind of pain a broken heart can bring.
I'm getting off track though. For those who are in relationships, keep working at it. It will pay off. My parents have shown that. I just hope those in my generation learn from couples like my parents. Things will be a lot better.
This is M. Blue. It's time for a change.
