High School Revisited

"you know why i like high school girls?"


I was looking over some of the old posts and I stumbled upon the one above in particular. (Read it before continuing.) It never grabbed my attention at the time it was posted, but this time it jumped out at me and I totally know exactly what you're saying about high school romance. Your world was just so much smaller, and you had a really small pot to choose from, so to speak. It felt like when something didn't work out, a big piece of that world was taken away and you had a whole lot fewer options (Being that not only do you lose him/her but all of their friends are basically off-limits too). That's why everything feels exaggerated and the slightest thing seems devastating. Being opened up to the real world now, there are a whole hell of a lot more options. That's why looking back it seemed like being in a bubble.



Maybe that's why so many guys and girls carelessly become such, basically for lack of a better word, whores. Their bubble finally opened up, and they'll jump into anything without caring if they actually care about the other person, because they know if it doesn't work out they have plenty of other options to go with. Then you end up with, well, the world that we currently live in. These people that get devastated by one of these (precisely the right words) pricks/bitches just can't trust that great person when they find them. So everybody's in a world of hurt.




*Disclaimer*
There are always exceptions. Don't read this and think (or think that I think) there is no hope and no matter what everyone is screwed. Things still work out. (Usually... and probably with much more pain and suffering than is necessary.) Just remember to keep your eyes open and your thinking straight. With all those options, you don't need to jump into something that just doesn't feel right.

Watch out for those "pricks/bitches," but watch closer for that sincere soul.















(Though, that great person isn't always the right person... You see how flippin complex our world is??)
