I will admit... my last rant was a bit... excessive. However, I stand by the point I made. Unfortunately, I haven't been discouraged from doing exactly what I mentioned. In fact, I have been even MORE encouraged to give up. It seems that everywhere I turn, there is more evidence to support what I have recently come to accept as a possible truth: All Girls Are The Same. Once again, I know I'm going to take a lot of heat for that, but maybe if I elaborate a bit more...
Ok, as I have mentioned before, I have two friends who I have been helping through some hard times. Both have some of the same things in common. They are both girls, and both had been in a relationship with a bad guy. I had attempted to help them through the tough times, and had even given many suggestions to them as to how to find a good relationship. Doesn't seem so bad right? Well, both have come to the exact same point.
They both attempted to date another guy first. However, neither of them followed any of my advice, and ended up going after these guys based on looks and initial personality. This extreme shallowness, though I never mentioned it to either of them, only brought my own hopes for ever finding a relationship down a notch. Needless to say, neither of these relationships worked out for very long.
What really kills me on the inside is what happened next. Both of them turned back to their exes. Now, both of these guys were complete and total jerks. Plain and simple. Why these girls would even consider doing this is beyond me. But it kills me nonetheless.
Obviously, the question lingering inside the minds of everyone reading this is the same: Why do you care?
Well, I'm glad you asked. I care because this demonstrates and proves my point. Sure it is only two girls. But I was correct about the self-destructive cycle that these girls seem to enter into.
Now, the real question for me still remains: WHEN ARE THESE GIRLS GOING TO WAKE UP!?
Sure, I might be overreacting, but seriously... Can you really call any of this love at all? This isn't love. This is just the illusion of love. To me, for love to be true, it must be given back as well. In neither of these situations is the love going both ways. Jerks are generally incapable of returning, or even deserving the love they are given. And all of this occurs while guys with good hearts sit, wait, and wonder when the world is finally going to wake up.
If all of this is true, maybe I was correct. Maybe it is time to give up. Either way, I know I have to keep fighting the urge to do so, yet it gets harder all the time.
