Special Olympics of Love
I’ve always been somewhat naive when it comes to my love life. I’m pretty easily suckered into believing I’ve found Mr. Right, and when the time comes that I find out I’m wrong about someone, it’s always a slap to the face. Needless to say, I’ve got the habit of falling in love too easily and I find it very hard to fall out of love with someone regardless of their obvious flaws; Or “our flaws,” I should say. And while everyone around me is telling me to slow down and look at the signs glaring in my face; signs that are rather bluntly telling me that I’m an idiot and this is never going to work, I remain perfectly blind to that huge fucking cliff I’m always falling off of. By the time I’ve realized I’ve fallen, I’ve already hit the ground and He’s staring down at me, shaking his head because he practically told me this would happen, and I just didn’t listen. I didn’t want to. I never do.
So while I’m all caught up in dreams of life-after-things-work-out-between-us, I’m too preoccupied with fooling myself to realize that things will never work out because they were never that great to begin with.
And I’m a retard.

Fortunately, you are not alone in this. Love, or rather the “illusion of love,” gets the best of us and we end up being completely blindsided when it smacks us clear in the face. They say that insanity is repeating the same thing over expecting to achieve a different outcome. In that case nearly everyone who has been hurt in a relationship (or due to the lack of one) will continue to make the same mistakes, over and over again.
In either case, do not feel bad about it. If anything, you should just chock it up to life experience and try to learn from it. The funniest thing is that I am better at giving advice than I am taking my own. But I suppose that’s what life is all about.
Cheers.
