the best way out will always be straight through

It seems to me as though it is the breakup season. This season appears out of nowhere every once and a while. No one really sees it coming until it stands three inches from your ear and is all, GOTCHA!

As I watch people I love go through this season, I feel compelled to give some words of advice from an Experienced Professional. Breakups and I have an unfortunately close relationship. It's like that friend that you don't really want. My friend Breakups follows me around, kinda slinky and in the shadows. And I'm all, dude, kindly find your own niche and back that ass up. But to no avail.

So basically what I'm saying is that breakups. totally. suck. And the best thing you can POSSIBLY DO, is to live in it. There will be some days where you will love yourself and think that anyone would be SO LUCKY to mother or father your future children. And then there will also be days that suck and the lingering thought of dying alone will make you want to die. I say all this because it is just the way the world works. But if you surround yourself with those wonderful friends who make you feel like you don't suck at life, things get a lot easier a lot faster. It takes time, but, dude, Jesus takes that time to say, HELLO! The world works out the way it's supposed to work, I'VE GOT IT UNDER CONTROL. And then you start to forgive and love pretty much everyone no matter what** and see the world in that silver-lining kind of way that is truly quite sickening.


This, is what I'm saying.


love,
mara

**this part takes time. please do NOT confuse me with one of those people who gives you about a 48 hour grace period and then tells you that MY GOD, MAN. YOU HAVE GOT TO GET OVER IT. what is with those people?!
