Subject: Here is a long rant.
It's not pointless, being in a relationship. I hate when people have the outlook that they don't want to be in a relationship because they're just going to get hurt.

You don't stay inside everyday because you're afraid you're going to fall down and scrape your knee. You don't stay at home because you're afraid that you're going to get in a car accident. You don't get rid of all your friends when you get in a fight with one of them. You don't stop eating ice cream forever after it falls off your cone once.

If you don't want to be in a relationship just because you're afraid of it ending like the last one did or you're afraid you'll get hurt or the other person will get hurt just like last time and just like all the other ones, you're never going to get anywhere in life.

You say you want a family or someone to love but you're afraid to be with anyone because you'll break up eventually. Well, yeah. Of course you will. You're not going to be able to sit around and have life throw your man/woman at you. Nothing's free, darling.

And the very best things are those you have to work for.

Look, if you want love but are afraid of the pain, then you're never going to get it. Love is the best and worst feeling in the world. You're not going to get the fairy tale relationship that you see in movies and read about in books. You don't meet someone at an arcade and have a wonderful affair where nothing goes wrong.

Love isn't a singular feeling. Love is hate, jealousy, happiness, sadness, desperation, loneliness, pain, joy, excitement, anticipation, everything. If you want just the "love" and the "butterflies", you're out of luck. Nothing in life is free, honey, and love is no exception.



But trust me, for all the crap you're going to have to go through, all the men or women you're going to have to be with, all the arguments and pain you'll have to fight your way through, it's worth it.

Trust me.

It's a good rant, you have many good, true points. I hope that whoever this rant was made for will read it. I hope then that they won't be afraid of relationships just because they might get hurt.

I got hurt, yes, and I hurt someone as well. But life's not all cotton candy and soft pillows, it's also nails and rancid cheese. I look forward to my next relationship, and I look forward to the future. Even though my ice cream may fall off the cone.

*bows down to the meister of all things ranty*

Love ya.
