Ah yes… relationships. You know, that thing humans tend to do when they like each other enough to sacrifice peace and stability for someone that looked at you a second too long? Yeah. That thing.
That thousand year old farce.
Listen, I think it’s great that people are still trying to hold onto some form of humanity in an age where that seems to become less and less of a thing. But at the same time, with the online world brainwashing anyone and everything, with the straitjacket that comes after the resentment inevitably arrives, to everything never being enough because your algorithm told you your partner should be ‘better’ rather than just fu***ng talking to them about your concerns yourself, I find myself jaded on the subject.
I think of love these days as a bird with blades for wings. Try holding onto that now why don’t ya.
There’s no fear of it on my end, more just a “this is all just really dumb.”
I wanted to find love again after all the wreckage, but reaching for anything just showed me I was talking to ghosts the entire time, further pushing on my fragile sense of reality until it reached a point I was convinced I was in Hell.
I think things can be admired from a distance now, and besides… way less to lose when you keep things friendly anyway. I have no intent on pursuing romance anymore in this current state of the world. Time has taught me that anyone who stands close enough to me becomes burnt anyway, so at some point you just have to accept some things just aren’t meant for you. And that’s fine! Because there are plenty of other things to find meaning in anyway. Having another human being tell me they love me means little now. Words always turn to dust.
Always.
And if that makes me broken and easy to scoff at, so be it. I’m sure, you also being human, have plenty of things within you that others deem as ridiculous, so how about you stick to facing your own demons before facing mine. You damn well know you have them. People have always loved filling in the gaps for me, so what is a voice when you don’t even have a mouth.
