Most likely going to be channeling Chris Gutierrez but it doesn't bother me.

Time and time again, I see my friends getting into relationships that only end up in pain and misunderstanding.
Some of these legitimately seem, at the beginning, as though they will work out. I don't begrudge my friends for beginning the relationships. But when it becomes a long-term thing and it's obvious something isn't quite right, they make no effort to fix it.
Some of these, at the beginning, just appear flat out wrong, and with some exceptions for opposites attract, they are.
This is not really directed at anyone in particular, though if you asked me I'm sure I could come up with some examples.

I suppose I'm just trying to understand why they would rather stay in a relationship that is bringing them down than be single and happy. Some people seem as though they need to be attached to survive. I understand loneliness. Everyone who is a part of the human race understands loneliness. But I think being in a relationship with someone just to be in a relationship is wrong.

And so what if it really is just a character flaw in them? They have to be, not only in relationships, but in bad relationships? How do you approach that conversation?
"Hey, got any deep seated problems relating to commitment issues, crazy people, or loneliness?"
This is where I feel guilty, I feel as if I knew my friends better I would know why they act the way they act, and would help them with situations like this.

Most friendships are either parasitic or both people ultimately trying to understand the other one.

Wow this week was super hectic. I'm just gonna come right out and say it was not a very good week. Started out good. Monday, pathetically, was the best part, even though Mondays usually suck. But everything just kind of went downhill from there.
Today was good though.

This week's song: Lost in the Post by The Wombats

( Lyrics! )

So. One of the main reasons I listened to this song is that it's extremely upbeat and helped (kind of) wake me up in the mornings. This week was one where it was really hard to just get going and be motivated to do things. I don't know what came over me, or really if it's just one of those hard weeks in school, I just had a rough time of it.
I will admit that I'm not exactly sure what this song is about. I like to think that he liked a girl more than she liked him, and eventually when she wouldn't see him he started sending her love letters through snail mail. But maybe she just never responded. Or there was a terrible coincidence in making sure they never got to her. Either way, he loved the idea of tangible communication in the era of electronic correspondence. But she didn't appreciate that kind of commitment.
So his love was lost in the mail, both metaphorically and literally.
Maybe I like this idea that someone would be so committed to me that they would keep sending letters, even if I didn't respond. They would keep trying to contact me no matter what until I gave them a concrete answer.
