Hopeless Romantics Anonymous



I've been gone for a while. Been doing a lot of thinking. Growing. Learning. If there's one thing that I've learned it's that love is lost among an age that believe it's only for suckers. Spoiler alert: this post ends in trying to understand why people are so fucked up.

 For years people have said that it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. A personal friend of mine has a poem that follows that saying by asking the question "What the fuck does that mean?" And that's an appropriate question. Because I can't understand how it's a better alternative than staying in love in the first place. These days, love is both easy and hard to come by. Real love even harder than that. What I've been trying to understand is why.

 What the fuck is the purpose of acting like there's no point in accepting love? Now, I know it seems like I'm babbling but, trust me, there's a point to this. Actually, as I write this I'm pretty pissed off. I'm learning that there are more hopeless romantics than myself out there. And we're all getting the short end of the stick. We've been getting shafted by those that we care for in the name of "fuck it". People that haven't been in a true healthy, loving relationship in years but feel that they are the full fucking authority on how to treat others. Especially, others that actually give a full fuck about them.

 So, here we stand. Ready to expose ourselves. Rip our hearts open to make sure that they feel enclosed in all things tender and secure and they act like FULL FUCKING ASSHOLES. (sigh) I was asked to start a group titled the same as this post. Maybe I should. In the meantime, my next post will be more informative.
