blah blah blah, Dizzy-Rant, warning, etc.
re: relationships
so, today, in life class, i learned something new:
every movie that ever told you that ending a relationship by 'just being friends' works lied.
yes, this requires a long, intense explanantion, but here's the brief rundown:
for the last few months, i was, gasp, in a relationship. with a guy. [/shock]. he was a great friend, and really nice. everything i could ask for: geeky, smart, nice, sweet, chivalrous, etc. he has adhd and takes meds, and he doesn't always do his work at school, but he's great otherwise.
lately, though, i've been feeling... stressed. i was nagging him to do his homework in computer science (the class we take together). i wasn't so infatuated with him anymore.
i wanted to end things. i wanted to just be friends with him. nothing more, nothing less. i figured that out about five minutes after i was on a metro bus home on friday, having told him how i was feeling about things earlier.
well, today, i came in to class and quietly told him this. he didn't take it well. he got all mopey, sad, depressed, etc., putting his head on the desk and, after ten minutes, he got out his laptop to try and work, then shut it down, grabbed his bag, and left in a storm.
so, here i am, left wondering, shoot. what'd i do?
i ended a relationship, asking only that we stay friends. i broke his heart. i shot him from mount everest to the marianis trench in six short words.
but, see, i didn't mean to break anything.
do i have to be miserable to make someone happy? is happiness possible between two individuals?
well, i thought juno answered those questions. guess it really didn't.
i'm going to go code a program now. that makes me happy.
or numb. i'm really not quite sure which is which anymore.
