timidity99 Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I just recently came out of the longest relationship I've ever had. It lasted 3 years. I'm 25 now. I think the longer I stay in a relationship the harder it is to walk away.
kitten chick Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 You do your best, try your hardest, then success or failure is up to you. When that little voice in the back of your head says maybe you didn't try hard enough, then don't say its bad luck and wasn't meant to be. What if they walk away from you? While you most certainly have to put work into a relationship, that doesn't mean that you won't happen to pick the wrong person. That after 6 months all of a sudden they start exhibiting abusive qualities or stalkerish qualities or something other outlandish personality trait. You know I love ya Walk but I don't believe for a second that there isn't a large element of luck involved.
Outcast Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 I'm not bitter...I'm realistic That's the common refrain of the chronically bitter I know people much older than you who have made the choice to find joy and happiness in life, no matter what life may throw at them. I know one couple that didn't meet until their mid-fifties and lived a happy thirty years together. You reap what you sow in life and so long as you cast a baleful eye on all that happens to you, you will continue to have unpleasant and unsatisfying experiences. Life, some of us understand, is what you make it - bad or good. Riddler is, IMHO, the smart man - he chooses happiness. You know the saying; 'two men looked through prison bars; one saw mud, the other saw stars.' Quit looking at the mud, Alphie. You're missing all the beautiful stars.
