what is it with relationships?

Relationships. They are what we all want. Whether you are a person who craves the quick ones where you get out easily or the ones that make you sit down and realize how lucky you are to have found the person of your dreams. There are people that never get to experience the joys of relationships. They date and get out as soon as they can, but they never get down to the nitty-gritty of it. They decide no strings attached is the way to go. But sometimes you wonder, why are they so scared? I mean a relationship is not complicated. If you have feelings for the person why run away? I've always wondered what it is that makes them tick. That takes them and scares them so much that they have to run away and hide all their feelings. Finding a good relationship is like finding a recipe. Sometimes you get the delicious ones that make you sigh with happiness and crave all the time. Other times you come across the ones that aren't so great and are disapointing.

Sometimes I just wish I could take back things that I've done and said. I mean no one is perfect. But there are always those things that haunt you and make you wonder that maybe if you didn't say it, or if you didn't do it then things would be different. The world is made of you having choices and learning from your mistakes. Yes, you sometimes need to learn the hard way, but sometimes you wish it came handed on a silver platter. Life was never supposed to be easy, because if it was no one would want to play the game. The creators of Life the board game really hit it spot on when they created it. Life is a game and we are all playing. I just wish sometimes it was easier.

thoughts at two a.m.

Some people say that it takes half the time you dated someone to get over them. Honestly in my opinion, the person that said that never had been in love. They never sat up in bed thinking night by night of the person that broke their heart, but still continued to hold it in the palm of their hand. These people may have loved people, but they have never been in love. What it feels like to be in love... Being in love is one of the scariest, best, most shocking things one could experience. The ups and downs are enough to drive you crazy. But all in all, love is simply what we wake up for in the morning. The adrenaline that keeps us going. It says, "Hey, life may be difficult, but you are worth it because you have found someone that cares about you." Being in love is like being with someone that shares your soul. It's like you handed it to them on a silver platter and said, "Here's my heart, please don't break it." We may walk around wondering where love is, and why we cannot find it. But you cannot find love. It finds you. It's like a hidden treasure chest. And your mission is like fate. To find that treasure chest and unlock the magical treasure that will make all of your wildest dreams come true. But along the way, you will find someone that will help you. Because without them the treasure chest can never be opened. The meaning of life is simply to love and be loved.
