The Well-Meaning Asshole

I wish the best on the people close to me. It seems like an obvious statement to make. But sometimes my advice may seem contradictory to happiness. It may seem to go against an ideal or hope that one may hold. Such is the way of raw and real advice. It comes from a genuine place. Truth hurts as they say..

That's why lately i've been struggling with harsh words and the usual "i'm happy for you". As I grow older I find less time for bullshit. Let's get right to the point. You and your signifigant other broke up and are now back together. The "second run" at rekindling a romance that died in the first place. And I don't need to have the full story here. I know that you've come to an agreement over how to define what you are "now" as opposed to when you were an "official" couple. But one thing is for sure...you're hanging and banging. So basically still a couple. The difference is the duct tape you've now patched up the relationship with. It's not the same as it once was. And it's liable to peel off in the future. It's little things like "let's take it slow" or "let's not rush back into things"

All these idealist schemes created to convince onseself that the love is still there. Welll I'll make the controversial statement that the LOVE ohhh the LOVE you are trying to preserve failed once and will fail again. So here I am..the cynical friend with melancholy advice. But the doomsday advice comes from an sincere place. I can only know so much about things. And I'm genuinely rooting for the happiness of all.

I don't think I wish despair on anyone. But i'm very aware of who gives a shit and who doesn't. If you don't give a shit about me. Then vice-versa. Simple as that.
