Hey there!
So it finally seems I'm back on track after one month of waking up over and over while not knowing why I was actually put upon this earth. But in the last few days I ultimately regained the need of being around despite my moronic perspective on life, which mostly revolves around punk rock, family values, girls, occasionally politics, inter- and intraspecific equality and revising my own trains of thought in general. But as fun as it is to question every single "answer" that is thrown at you, whether it be by mass media or even your relatives, sooner or later you can't help yourself but to accept particular things as predetermined with no chance (or motivation, because you've admittedly got time to lose) to change or see them through.
By now I think most of you should have figured out the direction this post is going to go. The attraction of certain people towards each other and how relationships from which the external viewer thought they would last a lifetime crumble down from one second to another.
Excuse me for being biased on this topic, since I've seen quite a few of my own hopes concerning this going down the drain recently. But as I implicitly mentioned two sentences before, I've experienced some tragic cases in my immediate social environment also. So the following list just might be more than a mere educated guess.
It appears to be a proven fact that modern society is heading towards a fast moving and therefore more and more insincere and impersonal existence. For as beneficial the usage of "social" networking is in terms of timesaving communication, it also tends to provide a fatal illusion to those less fortunate in love affairs and subconsciously wanting to be deceived. It is then when stalking one's friends profile (which I suppose has become mainstream anyways) may lead into a negative feedback loop of incomprehension and eventually envy and spite. According to my personal beliefs, Facebook for example has the dangerous potential to make people emotionally callous and blunted.
To encounter this problem effectively, I think developing self-esteem in a reasonable way is crucial. Always keep in mind no one is responsible for your happiness but yourself. And you should think twice before bolting into somebody's arms without taking into consideration that you might simply intend to escape from solitude or any other void bothering you at the moment. Take your time to take off those initial blinders in order to do your own true feelings justice. Listen to your body and heart, and learn to love your counterpart.
And these "guidelines" shall by no means be regarded as a general appeal to condemn allegedly loveless things such as One-Night-Stands (not an encouragement to do it either, though. It's about your personal preference in the end). At least try to make sure that both parties agree upon the same thing. There's no shame in sorting expectations out beforehand. After all it's for the sake of not having hearts broken afterwards, isn't it?
But oh well, the ambivalence of human nature. You cannot know for sure what's going on in someone elses mind. A mystery that still remains to be resolved, haha!
Feel free to comment, I'd really also like to know your opinion especially on things like love at first sight, unrequited love etc.
And most importanly: Make up your mind!
