As I watch everything crumble...

Recently, there seems to be a string of horrifying events in the relationship world. Maybe I'm the only one seeing it, or the one connection between all the events... some sort of creepy, twisted Six Degrees game.
I've witnessed three relationships vanish into thin air in the past month. Now, these three relationships weren't short lived crappy relationships. They were (seemingly) happy, long, and healthy relationships. As much as I want to give specific examples, for the sake of those I love I'll resist. Just know that they were good and no one saw this coming.

There's been a constant dread of relationships hanging around me since.... well, let's not go there. I've just been avoiding "those discussions" in a failed attempt to forget that these things were once a part of my life. I feel for these ladies and gents who have had their lives thrown off tilt (similar to the Earth's recent change. Luckily it only changed the day by 1.8 millionths of a second. Good news for you my friends!).

I'm learning to let go. Writing letters and leaving them in stamped envelopes really soothes the pain. Sadly, it cost 42 cents (44 cents?) every time that pain needs to be soothed. Not to mention the envelopes and paper; poor trees. I'm a horrible green lifestyle activist.

As much as I want to keep the positive aspects in existence for my friends, I have to help myself somehow. To make my own emotions brighten, I tried telling myself that old relationships are ending to make room for new ones. We all can't be happy at once, right? Horrible thoughts, I know. I don't even like thinking them, how could you possibly like reading them? It's just my way of keeping myself on the positive side of that annoyingly thin line called sanity

I'll let you know if my opinions change once I hit up Starbucks on Saturday. Men, you need to stop using your charm to make me spend money on you. This is the first time that has ever happened, but I still want you to stop. Stop thinking about it. Stop plotting it in your subconscious mind. Just stop. ;p

Old dirt roads are behind me. I'm learning how to pave the ones ahead.
