It Takes Two
*note, before reading this, I admit, I've got a million things on my mind, so this MIGHT be a rambling rant*
I've been struggling lately with several people and things in my life lately. Ex boyfriends, potential lovers, friends, family.... no, I'm not perfect, hence this blog. A while back I wrote about never getting the whole story.... this is pulled out from that. If you don't know the whole story, how can you reasonably just assume what you feel to be true?
Here's the thing... you can do several things alone, but the majority of things happen in numbers. Can you play baseball, football, basketball alone? Not a game... Can a doctor perform a surgery alone? Not exactly, oh sure, you can do these things alone, but it's generally not as much fun or as easy to do.
So, it takes two....
Two to tango,
Two sides to every coin,
Two sides to every story,
Two to build, two to fall,
Two to be in love
Two to be friends.
Look, if you and I have an arguement, is it better to assume you know what's going on, or to ask me and risk saving something that could have been good? If we've been together for years, isn't it better to listen to me and hear my pain, than to completely shut me out? Is it always best to just go off the handle and blow a fuse without finding out what you're blowing a fuse over? Or moreso, is it better to just shut me out than to talk to me and see why we're not talking?????
Look, this is what's happening... My life, my friends, my family, my whole world is changing, and alot of it has to do with me, but more of it has to do with the fact that people just don't step outside of their own worlds to find out what's happening on the outside. Me, I've been dumped (not complaining), I've been cursed at, and I've been shut out.... All because no one listens, no one cares, and everyone ASSUMES.
I've always hated that little line "if you assume, you make an ass out of U and ME". This time, the only ass is the one that doesn't ask.... Another stupid line is "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me". Damn straight, if you don't ask, don't listen, and don't care, then shame on you, you fool. I guess my favorite one, in all seriousness is "anything worth having is worth working for". So sad, but true....
Have a great Saturday,
