| — | it’s probably the worst feeling in the world to know that you are just a “person” to someone you consider to be one of the most important people in your life. i thought we were different, but it seems i’m no worse than an enemy to you and no better than a friend. i guess that’s the position i’ll have to get use to. |
people misconstrue your kindness and caring for deceit. if i told you that i cared about you, and if i told you that we were friends, then i’m not going to try to hurt you on purpose. believe it or not, there’s still some people in this world who don’t like to play games and hurt people that they love. that’s madness. anybody who thinks they can be friends with someone and lie to them on a day-to-day basis doesn’t know shit about friendship.
if we’re friends, it’s okay for you to tell me the truth, even if it hurts, because you care about me. i’m going to do the same for you. and if i see you screwing up your life royally, i’m going to try to help, whether you like it or not. it may take a long time for you to realize, but i’m okay with that.
so learn to be a friend, if you expect to keep them.
and next time you think i’m talking shit, think again. maybe i’m just trying to help. and maybe those people you think are your real friends, are really just out to hurt you.
if love is just a game, then does anybody truly win? i mean, if you think about it, everyone knows how the game works, and everyone has played it at some point or another. Likewise, everyone has lost at that game at least once in their life. but, what i’m wondering, is what’s the point? why play these games if everyone gets hurt? who wins? nobody. everybody ends up getting hurt. and the realy problem occurs when you have one person playing the game and one person giving it an honest effort. well, that’s when you’re really f*cked. it’s like an endless cycle that no one can win. and it sucks.

most of the time, in any kind of relationship, you just want to know what the other person is feeling. you just need to know an honest, true feeling so that you can make a choice to either get over it, move on, or keep trying to work it out.
but, the truth is, that most of the time, the other person doesn’t exactly know what they’re feeling, because if they did, you’d know. you’d either see it, or they’d tell you, but chances are that they are confused also.
basically, this is where communication comes it. communication is key. it sounds corny and very cliche, but it’s true. it sucks to talk about feelings, but it does give you peace of mind, which is what everyone is after.

it’s so easy to tell someone that they’re doing something wrong, but it’s hard to actually help them work their way out of it. it’s also easy to admit that you’re doing something wrong, but it’s hard to muster up enough courage and brains to take action to stop it. |
you know that moment when you start to like someone? like that moment when you all of a sudden realize that the feelings you have towards someone have shifted from normal too something almost magical. it’s a really cool feeling, actually. it’s a feeling that should not be taken for granted. it’s a feeling that cannot be faked. sure, you can fake like you like someone and you can pretend to have feelings for someone and no one would ever no any better, but you would know. it’s one of those feelings that you can’t hide from yourself. you feel it or you don’t, simple as that.
then, when you do start to feel it, it’s like all you can focus on and nothing can bring you down. and chances are, you haven’t had that feeling in a while, so you try to hold on to it at any cost, which is where the problem comes in. all of a sudden, this magical feeling causes you to abandon all other things and put everything at risk for what? for a whim? but, that’s the thing, it’s always going to be a whim. you are never going to be certain of that feeling. you just have to decide which feelings are worth chasing and which aren’t. it’s hard to ignore the magic of it all, because you are never sure when it’s going to come around again, but you have to ask yourself if it’s worth risking everything for.
