Today I'm here to talk about love... Just kidding, I'm here to talk about heart break. How depressing, right? Yeah, basically. But depressing topics make a good story. And good lessons learned, right? No? Okay.
So why do we center ourselves with people that treat us horribly? You know, I've wondered this my whole life. I've seen relationships, both fiction and non, where one of the two people treat the other badly, or both treat each other equally terrible. And I think, "Why oh why would you even stay with that person? Just leave." It turns out that's much easier said than done. It also turns out that we meet people that have such an impact on our lives and we unfortunately get attached. We get attached for much too long. 8 months too long.
And you keep going back, time and time again. Because, "it'll be different this time". HA! No. People don't change. Sorry.
And then, as I wonder why in the world we would choose to stay with people that treat us so awful, The Perks of Being a Wallflower quote always pops up into my brain. "We accept the love we think we deserve." It's so sad, but so true. We live with this twisted vision of love not knowing or believing what we really deserve to have, when it really IS out there waiting for us. We continue to get hurt and do nothing about it, because why even bother, they're nice sometimes, right? I've learned that we need to have enough respect for ourselves or no one else will. And you should take the same advice you would give your best friend.
Conclusion: stay away from mean people that treat you like dirt.
Love sucks. End rant.
Mak.
