Emotions

Emotions are funny things. They make us go crazy, they make us act irrationally. They make us completely disregard our self-preservation for that quick "high".

Dating is really fucked up, once you think about it. Why haven't we, as humans, evolved a better way of finding a mate besides just "trial and error"? 99% of relationships end, and no matter what that sorority girl told you, it's almost impossible to end things on a good note. At least one person in the relationship gets hurt. So we put ourselves through these relationships, subconsciously knowing that most likely each one will end in a fiery burning crash.

But for some reason, and I like to blame these pesky "emotions" we're cursed with, we convince ourselves that that wont happen to us - at least not this time. This time its the one. And we get invested and attached. We tell ourselves its love and we plan weddings and babies and future homes together. We hope that this is the one that will not end in a fiery burning crash - because deep down we have to.

Break-ups hurt. We swear we will never put ourselves through that again. We question what he did wrong. We analyze what we could have done different. We find ourselves wishing we could time travel.

In the end, it's better to tell ourselves that if a relationship ends, it just wasn't meant to be. This is probably why people invented religions - its easier to think of everything as one big "plan" by a higher power. It's not always in our control. Even if only one party is at fault, it's better to just let it go than to hold on - its the healthy way. If one person is more attached than the other, it's not smart, considerate or healthy to try holding onto that relationship. So, just let it go.

I've seen relationships come and go in my life. At first you wonder "what's wrong with me?". Then you start to develop a type of wall - make it harder for others to hurt you like that again. Then, when people leave you start showing them the door. I've had so many people leave my life, one more isn't going to break me now. I can now focus on finding the next perfect piece for my puzzle.
