If it makes you less sad
I’ll move out of the state
You can keep to yourself
I’ll keep out of your way
And if it makes you less sad
I’ll take your pictures all down
Every picture you paint
I will paint myself out
It’s as cold as a tomb
And it’s dark in your room
When I sneak to your bed
To pour salt in your wounds
So call it quits
Or get a grip
Say you wanted a solution
You just wanted to be missed

Drew has officially been hired as the head of my “Fun Police”. His sole purpose is to make sure I’m having fun. His first week on the job was very successful. A very wise hire on my part.
I choose YOU.
Is it wrong that people have a “set” ideal of who they want their partner to be? Do we miss out on opportunities because maybe someone doesn’t fit your ideal lover? When I think about what I want out of my “partner in crime” I can actually think of what he would look like…how he would act…but is this being too picky or just waiting for that person you invision to actually come around? And if you DO stop being so choosy, is that lowering you standards? Makes you wonder if it’s fate or in the end, your choose of who you ultimately end up with.
When I was young, I was an idealist and a hopeless romantic. After having my heart ripped out a couple times, I became pretty numb and closed off. After a lot of work and repair, I’d like to think that I’ve finally gotten to a healthy and optimistic balance. I’m no longer super picky about every little thing. I tend to focus on the important things and let everything else become something quirky that I can fall in love with in time. So I think it always depends on the person, what they’ve been through and where they are in their life.
But there’s a great article about what is being referred to as the “Good Enough” marriage. Read it. Might help.
The reason a lot of people describe therapy as self-indulgent, unnecessary, narcissistic, masturbatory, etc. - and thereby avoid going - is that therapy is a challenge to the way you think, the way you behave, and the choices you’ve made in your life. Which can be unpleasant. I got sort of an inkling of this when I read Freud for the first time; in “The Interpretation of Dreams,” he says (and this is a huge paraphrase) that analysis can never take the form that the patient wants it to take, because the patient has been determining the form that his or her life has taken thus far, and that hasn’t worked out. Basically, everything you think about the way you think is suspect. Now, I have a lot of issues with Freud, but one thing I do believe in and respect is realizing that you’ve fucked up, and that it may be because you are fucked up, and undertaking the commitment to examining and picking apart each and every factor of how you’ve fucked up, with an eye to changing it.
