Just a Thought

Why is that it is so hard to walk away from someone that hurt us so bad?

I have wondered this for the longest time. I have seen it over and over. I think it is different when you see it on the outside of the relationship rather then when your involved in it. We listen to our friends when they are angry about their significant other or when they are crying because they did something, and we wonder, "Why the hell are you still in this relationship if it hurts so bad?"

Honestly, I think one of the reasons behind it is a lot of people would rather feel hurt than feel nothing at all. They are scared to be out on their own with no feelings towards a significant other. Another reason, which I'm sure all of us have heard, love is blind.

It seems overused but think about it. I'm sure many of us have been in relationships that we get out of and think, "What the hell was I thinking?" It's because when you get caught up in a relationship, you fail to realize that it may not be the best thing for you. Just because you're in love with somebody doesn't mean it's necessarily the right thing for you. Love is blind.

I have just seen so many of my friends getting hurt lately, and honestly, it's not the end of the world. We are all young and we should be enjoying these four years of college. You got your whole life to be married, why do it during the craziest four years of your life? As the great Tom Petty said, "You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does..."
