Honestly, there are very few major events I remember from my childhood. But one memory I DO remember is learning the definition of heartbreak. I was watching TV, and the folks were watching a show. There was a man on screen pounding his fists on a barn door and crying on a fence. I had no idea what was wrong, so I asked my parents, “Is he sick?” they replied after a short pause with “Yes, his heart is broken.” I didnt want to have this happen to me, so I said “I’ll never get my heart broken!” I was 7 years old at the time.
tru7hiness asked: Can I really ask you anything?
Of course! Feel free to ask me anything! I’ll respond as tru7hfully as I can!
Usually, when I see the plebeians that roam the halls, I think nothing of it. They’re just people, with their own problems, with their own lives. Just another day at school. Some people that I DO encounter on an everyday basis, however, seem to have more troubles than most other people in the school. Most of all, the problems that seem to rise to the top are affairs with the opposite sex. I don’t know if it is the sheer lack of knowledge of what a relationship is supposed to me or the desire to fuck absolutely everything that moves that causes people to disrespect the opposite sex, and more importantly, forgive their actions.
Thankfully, these problems don’t exist for me, because I understand what a good relationship is. A good relationship is a partnership between two people in which they trust one another and help each other through the best of times and the worst of times. An emotional connection that remains whole while the two respect each other. Unfortunately, some people don’t get that. Some people, especially at a high school level, seem to believe that it’s okay to just be “friends with benefits”, and that it is okay to blow off your partner and cheat on them. Ladies and gentlemen, it is not. If your partner is cheating on you, not respecting you as a person, or just treating you as a warm sack of meat for them to take advantage of, you need to drop them faster than they’re willing to drop their shorts.
Of course, most people view cheating as a big offense, and they would be right. The problem, however, is the lack of action when being cheated on. Everyone that finds out that they have been cheated on always thinks “Oh, we’re different, we can change! It’ll be all better!” You’re wrong. The person that cheated on you obviously has no intention of respecting you or staying faithful to you. If you stick with them, you give them the impression that it’s okay and that if they cheat it won’t be that big of a deal. The only way to tell someone not to cheat is to leave them when you find out. If you stay in the relationship, you will receive trust issues with other partners when you two finally depart, after a long and bitter relationship. You won’t trust your next partner, and you will become needy, overprotective, and just a general emotional leech.
Some people worry about how hard it would be to break up with their partner. Girls especially can be manipulated into thinking that the man that they are being taken advantage by is the only one that will ever love them, and let me tell you that is absolutely not true. There will always be someone better out there, and unless you are in a perfect relationship, there’s always a bigger fish. (To quote Qui Gon Jinn)
So don’t be a dumbass, dump your manipulative partner, and get on with your life. Gawd.
Just my own personal Tru7h.
