Hullo again. It's been awhile I suppose. I've been feeling the need to blog for the past week or so, but I havn't really had anything bolg-worthy to say lol. In any case, here's my random arse thoughts.
14 Years, Huh?:
Damn. That's long. Today is my parents 14th anniversary. Wow. Fourteen years of being committed to not only yourself, but to someone who didn't come out of your vag. That's insane. Years of accepting annoying habits, waving the farts away, and waiting for them to come home. That's unbelievable. It's incredible really.
I can't imagine being so dedicated to someone for so long. Hell, I can count the number of people I've known for that long on my fingers. And 100% of them are related to me. I can barely imagine knowing someone for that long. The longest I've known anyone, outside of relatives, is 8 years. And that's 8 years of on again, off again friendship. Nothing even semi-resembling permanence stretches beyond 4 years or so for me. And even 4 years is a stretch.
Maybe that's why I'm so fascinated with this whole concept. Years with the same people, coming to know them, understand them, and accept them for everything they are and aren't. Now I understand it doesn't take so long to come to understand and accept people. But for my stage in life, where so many people change and grow and come to understand themselves, it seems almost impossible to have any sort of relationship with anyone for an extended amount of time. People say it's possible to grow separately without growing apart. But is it really true? I'm more inclined to believe it's damn near impossible. Damn near. That's not impossible, just so close that I might never be able to manage it. Maybe I don't want to.
I was watching Bones last night, and Booth said that no matter what, even if people leave you it's worth the time that you spent together. And his friend Naka? (I think, I wasn't paying much attention to his name) said something along the lines of, 'if I was willing to give my life for my sister, I'd be more than willing to give her my happiness too.' It's a great idea in principle, and I'd love to believe it. But it's... difficult to place your happiness in people. Because once you do, it seems that so many times they just walk away with it. And you're left to repeat the cycle, endlessly. Untill hopefully, one day, someone will walk in, and maybe, just maybe, they won't walk out.
And those ones who don't walk out. Thats who matters. They're your family. A friend. A spouse. A bromance. A best friend. Whatever form, they're family. I can only hope that one day, like my parents, I'll find someone who after 14 years of friendship and love, I can still look at and smile.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad.
