Since we often frequent dating and relationship topics in this particular class, I figured I could safely blog on dating and stuff like that this week.
First off, I am NOT a bonafide dater or anything like that. In fact, I would rather do homework and work than go on a date 9 times out of 10. Also, my longboard needs loving, soo...I probably need to sort our some priorities.
That said, I heard a song this week that made me start thinking. It is a song called "Says She Loves Me" by Aer. The song opens with the line, "She only says she loves me when we're drinking." Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. We don't (usually ;) ) drink. But you get the point.
When I heard this song, I was home in Arizona helping my family move, and we had to go through a ton of our stuff and purge. For some reason, different members of my family had a hard time parting with stuff that had no real value. We were holding onto it simply because we didn't want to let go. Does that make sense?
So, back to the song. I started taking inventory of the relationships in my life, past and present. And I realized that there were some people that I was just fostering a relationship half-heartedly and just because I didn't want to let go. I had this epiphany that this was not good for either party involved, just like keeping something because one does not want to let it go.
Going forward, I need to do a better job at letting things go that just don't help either party, wether the thing is animate or inanimate.
So, here is the video of the song for all y'all.
Rock on.

ReplyDeleteI love this post. Relationships are about sacrifice. That's it, that's all.
ReplyDeleteDude... so true. Sometimes we hold on to some relationships just because we want something to hang on to. We don't allow ourselves to reach out and grab hold something better.
