On the subject of relationships
You know, it was one of those moments where you're watching this great movie, and the main character is in love, and he basically tells the girl he's fallen for that she is his world, he would do anything for her. The movie I'm talking about was on TBS tonight, I can't remember the name (it was with Chris Rock) but that's not important. When he looked at the girl and told her he would give up his billions of dollars, everything, just to be with her, Tylers mother turns to me and says, "Yeah right. I'm sorry, but that doesn't exist". Now, it's one of those comments where you have to stop and consider, is that right? That's not what I thought before, maybe I was wrong. It's almost like having a small sort of debate with yourself - only with this, I didn't have to wonder if she was really right or wrong, I already knew. I gave her Cougar, Tylers brother, as an example. He still loves this girl, even though she has put him through a lot of shit. This guy, sold almost everything he owned, just to go to BC to be with her. I know, it sounds stupid, but that's exactly the kind of love that is on debate. He's not with her now, because it was the girls decision to leave, she didn't feel the same way, but his love for her is exactly what I am talking about here. I really believe that if you look in the right places, and have the right standards for yourself, that you will find a person who loves you so much, that you're quite literally priceless to them. You can't be with someone and say, "Well, I won't find anything else, this is it", because you won't be happy. You can't go around settling for less when there is more. Only settle for your type of best, whatever that is. If you haven't been having the best of luck with guys, LOOK ELSEWHERE. I don't just mean look for more guys, I mean stop looking wherever you're finding these people. You won't find mr. right in a bar.
This kind of decision making is what is causing the whole belief of "I can't do better", or "That kind of love doesn't exist", and it's that very decision making that is causing guys to mistreat and abuse women. Trust me girls, men are fully aware that you aren't going to leave them if you're one of these types, because that's exactly the reason they've picked you. You were the one that put up with it, the others left, and now they know that they can do whatever the hell they want.
I can only speak for myself, but I could really care less as to how much money I have, I mean really. I have been poor for most of my life - hell, I still don't have a job, haven't had one the entire time I've been in school, but I'm happy. I could live in an apartment for the rest of my life and never own a house, but I'd make it the best damn apartment I ever had, and fill it with the small things I could afford. There are lots of things I could be buying myself if I had a job, such as a computer that can run WoW, but is that at the top of my list? No. I'm not saying don't get yourself a job, I'm just saying make the best out of what you have at the current moment. Enjoy the things you already have. The way I see it, is if you have to make this kind of decision in your life, this is how it's going to go - if you choose money, sure you'll be set, but you'll be set and lonely. If you choose the love of your life, you'll be struggling - but you won't be struggling alone. You'll have someone at your side to help you through the roughest times, and to enjoy the best times. What's the money going to do for you? Buy you a mansion? Then what? And if someone else does come along, are they only there for your money? You've got a huge house filled with everything you want, and the love of your life is gone.
Someone tell me, how is that being rich?
