A Long Winded, Slightly Confusing Personal Rant.
A long winded, slightly confusing personal rant.
This isn't something addressed to one specific person. It's something that applies to a large populace.
Ok, I understand. You're honest, blunt, just being yourself. But how about you fucking make sure you know who it is you are before you claim you're just being real, yeah? (Oh yeah, because nobody has ever used that goddamn term before.)
There are two types of people who claim to be real: the genuine and the wannabe. The former consists of a group of people whom I respect and admire simply because they make sure they are consistent with those around them which is a great attribute. Neither friend nor foe is protected from their harshly blunt words but nonetheless they are just being honest. Although they should at times just keep their opinions to themselves at least they do not choose to protect certain people from the truth or are maliciously brutal to certain people; they are honest with everyone whether it be a best friend or someone whom they've just met. What also makes this group great is their ability to accept other people's opinions of them and move on with their life. They don't ruminate, they don't complain. They don't bitch about how hard this experience was for them. They see the truth in what they've gone through and because of that they have the ability to move on and in the process tell someone the truth when it needs to be told because they've gone through the same thing.
Now the latter group however consists of people who constantly bitch and moan about every break up, every bad experience and cry about how awfully hurt they've been because of what someone has done to them. But then what happens? They feel they have every right to turn the fuck around and be "honest" with somebody else who's going through a hard time and claim they are just being real. Do you not understand this person just went through the exact same thing you did and yet you feel you could just lecture them about moving on so they can get over it? Are you fucking kidding me? Who the fuck do you think you are? Oh of course you have every goddamn right to bitch and moan about how this person cheated on you or this person's talking shit but when a friend, a fucking friend, is actually coming to you as someone to confide in you look at them with nothing but cold death in your eyes and tell them to get over it. Oh you're just being real? You're just being honest? You're just being yourself? No, you're taking out your anger on someone who's vulnerable because the real person you want to verbally attack is someone you only bitch about to friends, family or the wide, wide world Tumblr. You scoff at this person's problem without regard for their feeling while if somebody did that to you in your time of need you would've spiraled into the deepest and darkest of depressions as you lay there thinking about how awful your life is. Sure you're entitled to your time of sadness and your ability to rant about how horrible it's been for you because of how you've been hurt. But if you take that away from somebody else by refusing to listen to them and telling them to get over it you're not being real. You're being a dick who doesn't deserve this person, the person who looked to you for comfort rather than a reality check, as a friend. I'm sure this person knows people who can tell them the honest truth. They needed someone and you decided to be a bitch. Congratulations, asshole.
So the next time you wanna be real with someone you think about how it is you would've wanted to be treated in that situation and how you would've reacted. Otherwise you could just go ahead and SIT THE FUCK DOWN.

Love is useless
It's reiterated everyday: you should never say hate, it's such a strong word. However it's counterpart, love, is thrown around rendering it's meaning useless as someone declares their love for a store employee who has just given them a discount.
Why is that? Why is it that words such as love and beauty are used in excess and mainly to describe something of superficial insignificance?
Love is a word which has had it's beautiful meaning eliminated. It's an intense, all consuming, indescribable emotion which overwhelms a person but now it's a word used for any random person who performs the tiniest random act of kindness.
Beauty is allocated to such frivolous things as runway models, the actor without his shirt on, a car, a handbag etc. Yes, they may be physically appealing but what happened to finding beauty in the world around us? Now beauty is found in material objects or attractive individuals whose personality plays no part in it.
Maybe it's just me. Maybe I feel too strongly about this topic but it's frustrating to see these words have the power of their meaning reduced.
You can leave me, move on, tell your friends that we're done but please don't regret when I was your only one. The most horrid words which would cause my heart to break would be if you looked at our past and said it was all a mistake.
