Oh, Darling says:

-x- vez-x- says:

o no not cynicism!!-could there be any worse fate of such mistakes

Oh, Darling says:

hahaha

Oh, Darling says:

i’d rather be cynical than have a broken heart to be honest

-x- vez-x- says:

but will cynicism prevent you from having a heart to break?

 

This is a conversation I held with a friend of mine on msn about the couples in my year who seem to be joined at the hip.

Vez brings up a good point. There are couples in school who have been going out for over a year, and I honestly admire them. How they can do it, I’ll never know. Maybe they’ve found that one person that they totally connect with, or maybe they are wasting their time and will end up heartbroken. What I fail to grasp, is how two people can be so close? Why would you let someone into your life and then allow it come to a bitter end knowing that you are purely foolish?

Should you let someone become more than your best friend, a bigger part in your life and see whether you end up miraculously happy or disastrously unhappy, then end it, knowing that at least you had a shot? Then you never speak or see that person in the same way again, despite what they might initially say.

Or do you keep things as they are, nice and simple, really good friends, knowing that they’ll stay your friend forever?

What if you are like a boyfriend and girlfriend, only without the physical aspect? Would you always be wondering “what if?”?

I’ve recently made some new friends, a little older than myself, and mostly boys. I vowed that I would never get involved with one of them because it would make things far too messy and political just like what happened in school.

Why is it that I never learn?
