Communication. It's the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need.
I've been lying in this bed for close to a year, and I've had a lot of time to look back on my life. And the things that I remember best - those are the things I wasn't supposed to do and I did them anyway. The thing is, life is too damn short to be following these rules.
The fantasy is simple. Pleasure is good. And twice as much pleasure is better. That pain is bad. And no pain is better. But the reality is different. The reality is that pain is there to tell us something. And there is only so much pleasure we can take without getting a stomachache. And maybe that's okay. Maybe some fantasies are only supposed to live in our dreams.
At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, is usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day - those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.
Do you know when to walk away? Do you know when not to take less than you deserve?
Ok, now an explanation: These are probably my favorite quotes of all time. Now, of course I do not know them all by heart, but whoever wrote them was, and is, probably the most hurting person in the world right now. How could anyone contain this much knowledge? What pieces of great writing. What analogies, what love, what passion; went into these.
Ok, don't call me crazy, they're all from a tv show (Grey's Anatomy).
Now you probably think they're stupid, but if I wouldn't have said anything about where they were from, what would you have thought?
