I don't necessarily feel good when I'm writing, but I feel bad when I'm not...
I listen to a decent amount of my friends speak on their relationship problems nearly everyday and although its easy for me as an outsider looking in to offer advice or an opinion, some of the things I see and hear just boggle my mind. With all the ills and hardships we go through as young adults, it seems pretty evident that our relationships with people should never be an impediment to our progress or happiness. I'm not against significant other relationships by any means, I think that sort of thing is beautiful; but public outbursts and social network rants have never been my thing. Rather than jumping into anything I just find it better to build from scratch, thus hashing out most, if not all, of those issues that could arise later to push someone to the point of slashing tires or taking an two-hour trip to your dorm room because she "just needed to talk" (Not that I would know anything about that...). Its like both sides are looking for that "aww" moment when all that mushy shit is reciprocal, but for me that moment right before that is incredibly underrated; however everyday I see people overlooking the beauty in that moment of ambiguity. Its that moment when you realize she's dope, like reading text messages back to yourself in the morning, but you still remain cognizant of the fact there's so much more to her and you want to build that friendship. Perhaps I'm just growing up, perhaps my women friends have just kept me sharp; whatever the case, ambiguity, for all intents and purposes, is much more than interesting to say the least.
