It's a mix of youthful idealism and hope and a desperate desire to believe in someone against all odds.


I know that life is not a romantic comedy, but I guess I've still kind of fallen into the idea that maybe sometimes things are meant to be. I've learned a few things though. I constantly see couples breaking up, talking shit and then getting back together - an ebb and flow that they come to accept as normal. I guess on a grand scale I'm guilty of this, but recent events have taught me a very important lesson: the person who is really great for you, the person who brings out the best in you, your partner in crime? That person is not going to second guess your relationship until it's lost all meaning. That person is not going to rip your heart out of your chest even one time, and he certainly won't do it twice. And that person shouldn't make you an option, because in love you deserve to be a priority.



But I'm not going to waste my time on someone who isn't great for me. Settling for familiarity is bullshit.  One day, I'll find someone capable of keeping my heart safe when I hand over the key and say, "Hey, don't fuck this up."
