On Relationships

So I can only assume that there is always a point where one must move a few steps backward in their plans to make the next few steps further, if not so much for a reminder that we should not be a certain way, but a reminder that we need to try and maintain our old characteristics that really make us who we are. No one can truly make the change to become a completely different person. It would be too difficult to change your mindset and never feel the urge to return to your old ways, as ridiculous and childish (or better) they may have been. I've been accustomed to taking those few steps back on occasions that all for some reason seem to come back to me being single.

Ever since I was in my last true relationship just after leaving high school I don't seem to be able to find what it is exactly that made me so happy back then. I've been told multiple reasons as to why it could be that I still stay in this partial state of emotional pain, if you will. One being the fact that I am still looking for something good to come along, and while that may be true, I also think that one really can't spend so much time waiting for something that they're not even sure they are waiting for. How can one simply make a choice and be happy for the rest of their life? This can't be just a spur of the moment kind of thing. Marriages don't happen because of a random meeting and it was love at first sight. Romeo and Juliet and other magical fairy tales have no place in the situations of real life. No one hears of a story where Snow White divorced the dashing prince because they finally realized that they don't really agree on much of anything.

The other reason I've heard is that I've tried too hard when it comes to actualy meeting someone I'm interested in. Again, I think it's just how you interpret it. The actions you do are correct by your standards so they are once again some of the things that can make others look incorrect. I just feel that what you do should not have any conditions and go out to see who is available, interesting, and someone you can show your unconditional care for.

Good luck to that, future lovers.

...shit, I sure would like to not be friggin' single anymore.
