Life is meant to take risks, and if you can't it means you don't think they're worth it.

There's comes a point in life where you give in to fate. You start believing that if it's meant to be it will and if it's not it won't and that there are reasons for these things. It might seem foolish, but if you've done all you can what else is there? Its a middle ground between remaining hopeful and moving on. Lord knows it's helping keep me sane. I'm not the kind of person that can move on quick, not when its something that really matters to me. I moved on once, when my last really serious relationship ended, and there will be a part of me that will never completely move on. And I'm okay with that. I don't want to completely lose that love I felt, because if I do I'll forget the good parts and what I have to look forward to sometime in my future. But I'm ready to find that future, no matter how long, short, fucked up, or amazing it might be. I can't handle standing still and I'd take following someone I care about into the lion's den over waiting outside or walking away. That's just who I am. It may be foolish. It may be stupid. It may be selfish. I don't know. What I do know is that I never go out on a limb if I don't think the hopeful outcome is worth a few broken bones.

Masochists Anonymous

The other day I came to a realization; everyone in this world is a masochist. I know it sounds weird, but think about it. There are three kinds of masochists. There are emotional masochists, physical masochists, and mental masochists. The physical are the most well-known. Usually you hear the term masochist you think bondage, or something along those lines,right? Well, that's not completely the case. You like when your significant others sucking on your neck don't you, or the little nibble on the ear or lip? And it does have the slight pain to it that's like, "ohhh, owww, mmmm..." I'm sure you get my point. Then there are emotional masochists. They're even more common, although less heard of. They're the people that know they shouldn't do something, yet they do it anyway, the ones that repeatedly put themselves in the most emotionally painful situations. However, most of them fall into a category of unconscious masochists, where they don't f

YOU ARE SHALLOW! or settling...

The world is broken up into two groups of people: the people that settle and the people that are shallow. Okay, I can imagine the completely confused look on your face right now, and the temptation to just completely skip over what you think is BS, but hear me out. Now when I say shallow, I mean shallow as in people that look at the surface and not much else when they're looking for a significant other. (Yes, I know I'm using the term a bit loosely, but its the definition we are most familiar with in society.) Now, you're thinking, "That's not true. I've fallen for people for their personality before." And to you I say bullshit. Stop lying to yourself. You fell for that person because you liked the way they looked. Then you continued liking them because you liked the way they looked AND realized they had a tolerable, or dare I say, interesting personality. And now I say to you, what is wrong with that? Looks are influenced by perception. I, myself, have we

Roadtrips

Image
So every Saturday or Sunday of every few weeks my family drags me on a short road trip. Its not horrible and its only for the day, however these early hours are going to wear me out. I'm forced to wake up under the cover of darkness, get dressed, and be in the car by the time the sun is fully up. Then I have to sit for hours, usually without my iPod since it dies in about 30 minutes, in a car with them. Now remember we're all cranky, we're all tired, and we all are uncomfortable since our car is a Volkswagen, which is not the best car for a road trip no matter how short it may be. Then we get to whatever place we are traveling to that day, with directions provided by the infamous Map Quest, and we usually have to wait until it opens. Then we follow-up by only eating meals consisting of junk food from gas stations and fast food rest stops. So why do we do this insane, masochistically-seeming tradition? Well, there's always the hope of finding an old Beatles record, or
