I've noticed there's been a slight increase as of late in the number of "rule breakers." Maybe because I feel as if it is happening to me more and more. I've always thought it was a good rule to live by but never really thought much of it or applied it to myself (maybe you just have to grow into it as you get older - I mean, come on, we're all pretty selfish (to a degree) during our growing years - no??). I'm glad to know (and say) that these days, it's one of the rules I pride myself for living by but I'll be the first (or last) to say that it's definitely not easy... especially in relationships... or should I say in new relationships (long distance especially). It's already difficult as it is trying to make it work but when one person gives more than the other, it makes the whole shebang even more difficult. It makes the person giving more to wonder why and whether or not s/he's trying too hard or giving too much (among other things). And honestly, it makes that person wonder if they're being taking for granted. Relationships shouldn't be that way. If two people want to be together, the "want" should be equal - it's not fair to give so much and receive only half back. I give 100 percent, I expect that much in return. And no, I don't think that's too much to ask of anyone. Maybe my expectations of people are too high but do you really want to lower your standards just because some don't live up to it? I give you a firm, "No."
Speaking up is only half the battle. You can't make someone do something they don't want to. Who knows, maybe it just takes a little time for both people to be on the same page. One can only hope.
I deserve better. And so does everyone.
P.S. Fuck you my new lovely neighbors. I hope you realize it's nearly midnight on a WEEK NIGHT. I may be the same age as you but fuck, I've got work in the early morning as do most people twice our ages who share a fucking PAPER-THIN wall with you. If you could be so kind as to shut the fuck up and turn off your offensive music so that I may sleep in peace, that would be absolutely FANNNNTASTIC. You wouldn't want me to raid your home when you're gone and fuck up your "studio" would you? I didn't think so. |
