Wow, I have not written a blog in a while. Sorry but I've been a bit busy...screw it, I've been an apathetic bitch and I completely forgot. Right this moment I am sitting in my empty house waiting for my romantic spaghetti sauce for two to cook. Yes, I am the only person dining here tonight. I like leftovers.
My mother drove away for two and a half hours to help her boyfriend renovate his house in Sale so they can rent it out. She seemed to think it was a good idea to leave me all alone.
Well wrong on two levels Mother Dearest - one, I could have a house party and completely destroy the house; two, I could do the complete opposite and completely destroy the house out of complete boredom and as it is a more exciting and rather humane prospect as opposed to pulling my fingernails off one by one.
It's times like these I really dread being single.
Don't get me wrong, it is not like I'm seeking anyone at all. All the arguments, problems, heartache, annoying fucking shit that I cannot be bothered with, what for ? So it can end as soon as it starts ? Relationships and I have never been on the same page. I look at some of my more relationship-friendly friends and I wonder why they put themselves that. Do we really fall in love, or do we fall in love with the idea of love ? Is it even worth it in the end ? Sure you can fall in love with someone, and give them your all, and have them give you something in return, but when the relationship hits a brick wall do you raise the white flag or carry on ? How do people know when to pursue the relationship ?
Honestly, it's just bullshit.
My friend just broke up with her boyfriend and truth be told she is too good for him anyway. I don't get what she was doing with the dope in the first place. But the amount of hurt and bothersome theatrics that went on while they were together makes me wonder why people would even bother in the first place. Sure, you can learn life lessons, but if you abolish the idea of romantic relationships altogether you won't have to learn lessons for any one reason. Life lessons my ass, not having sex with someone other than your boyfriend is not an applicable life lesson. For example, nuns. How does any of this benefit them in their lives ? Don't be ridiculous, that's just an excuse to say 'Let's pretend this relationship wasn't a total waste of time.'
However I look at people like my mother who are truly happy in their relationship and genuinely want to wake up to see that one person and go to sleep looking at that same person. While all of this may make me dry retch at the thought, some people find this sweet and loving. Call me crazy or heartless [actually just call me heartless] but I just do not understand. If it's just my mind or the fact that I refuse to understand, I don't know. But sometimes, just sometimes, the happiness and companionship makes it almost look worthwhile.
And now as I look over to the stove where my amazing pasta sauce is sizzling away, I cannot help but turn over the possibilities of relationships that I've rejected. What if I hadn't ? Would I see this all in a different way, or would the probable failure of these petty links to each other make me even more bitter and adamant on the subject ? Would I open myself up easier for the sheer want of being loved, or close myself in out of fear of being hurt ? How would I see myself above everyone else ?
And how would I see the male species, oh God.
Maybe it all isn't how I see it from the outside, or inside from that matter.
Maybe companionship isn't a necessarily bleak prospect. Maybe, just maybe, there is someone out there for all of us.
Or maybe I'm just doomed to enjoy my spaghetti alone.
