To fall...
"You jump into relationships head first. The only problem is that it hurts a lot more when you smash into the cement bottom." -me, to one of my male friends
It's interesting. Not to bore you with relationship antics, but I've noticed something. It seems to me that most people feel that a bad relationship is better than no relationship. It takes a new relationship before the person finally decides to move on out of the old one. This is not a gendered trait either for I have seen both men and women continue to be manipulated, humiliated and emotionally battered by a supposed "loved one."
How much are we willing to take as individuals. When do we finally stop and say, no thank you...I've lived off of happy memories for long enough and now I'm ready to move on and live happiness. We hold on so tight to something that in actuality does not really make us happy anymore. I'm no one special either. I've stayed in relationships long past the expiration date. My pride and personal principles were trampled to death until finally that moment occured when I realized that happy memories were no longer being created.
I feel that it's a long process and during that process you will lose a part of yourself, but in the long run you will gain so much more of yourself for walking away.
On a side note: If you read my blog you might think that all my ramblings mean that my relationship is sour. Things are great for me, but I still am always fascinated by relationships and how they are so different yet very similar. I've had a lot of people ask me if I get all my blog info from my relationship, but really I would say that I rarely draw upon my own relationship. I moreso write about random thoughts that pop in my head through my experiences with others.
