You can discredit all of this as the nonsensical ramblings of a bitter and cynical bitch, and not read Better still, 'cos you won't be getting a whiff of the bad vibes that I intend to blow in all directions.
I'm beginning to see relationships in a new light. Relationships, as in, BGR. Maybe it's the green-eyed monster rearing it's ugly head, and I know alot of people who hate me for saying this, but I'm finding it really really hard to believe that such 'love' will last. No matter how wonderful a relationship can be, no matter how much people love one another (I'm not discrediting the very NATURE of that love, mind you..), everything will eventually fade. I think it's really hard to look at things from my angle if you're attached and blissful (so if you're happily attached and still reading up to this point, I would advise you to stop.) or unattached but hopelessly desperate.
Movies and television dramas of the Romance genre capitalise on the failure of many to look at love and relationships from this angle. Envy the happy couple on the screen, huh? Oooh, they're finally together after so long!! Happy ending!! Pass the Kleenex, and excuse me while I blow my nose.
I mean, has anyone ever paused to think that the love may fade as time passes?? I mean, yar so the lead actor and actress may have gone through a shitload of stuff together, and I stress once again that I don't doubt the existence of the very strong emotion called Love....I mean, at THAT POINT, or at least for the whole duration of the movie everyone naturally hopes that the 2 star-crossed lovers will over come all odds and live happily ever after, cos people BELIEVE that they deserve to. "They love each other so much!!! Let them be together!!!" " AhhhH!!! why did he die!! she loves him so much!! why can't they live happily ever after!!!" Hello!! Maybe their love will fade? OR (this is my absolute favourite) love can
CHANGE into something else -insert bitter, sarcastic chuckle here, please- I mean, love is an EMOTION after all. The only unconditional love in this world is the love parents have for their children.
So if you're a depressed and lonely singleton, and you start envying all the blissful-looking couples strolling hand-in-hand past you, think again. That relationship may very well end after some time; whatever happiness they are choking up the air with may very well be short-lived. "True love"? how about "distant memory".
Hurhur.
Oh, shut up.
