she was on the phone.. not talking to me.. so this definitely throws me into the category of super creeper. i'm alright with that.. because it was a fantastic statement.. and almost pertains to part of my current issue.
if you know me [which i'm assuming/hoping you do.. because if you don't then you fall into the super creeper category too] then you probably have heard a little something about my world crashing down around me. and if you haven't heard that.. allow me to clue you in: my world is crashing down around me. yeeeeyy!
sorry folks, i'm not going to go into painful detail on this one. this is a blog made up of mostly nonsense and sarcasm [part of my downfall].. so i won't bring down the mood with a long ass description on why things aren't right with the world and i think they should be. it would be far too long and boring and my fingers would start to hurt, and i'd probably get carpal tunnel.
so let's just think about that one genius statement that was made tonight. [forgive me if there is a lack of comedy tonight.. i just need to get a little bit of this out] 'feelings can change in a second.' they totally can.
one second. and do you realize how short a second is? let's put it into perspective. okay.. here we go. i've been sitting looking at my screen for 52 seconds trying to figure out how to explain how short a second is. and then another 37 to send a text message. and then another 5 to change the song that was playing because it was bad. so.. i think we've gotten to the point where we understand how short a second is. 'rent' explained it really well.. but i didn't feel like being cliche.
we've been taught that once we feel a certain way, we're stuck. and we feel that way because we have to. and that's all there is to it. but that just isn't true. feelings are feelings. they happen. and sometimes they stick around for years and years, and sometimes they're gone in a second. but here's something that is also often missed when we learn about feelings. they're never wrong.
do you know why? because they came from you. something happened to YOU [not someone else] and YOU took it in a way that no one else in the whole world will.. and then your brain and your heart and your gut and your toes and your elbows and head and eyes and spleen took all that and FELT. it's the way YOU feel. not the way bob, or mandy, or sue, or glenn close, or obama, or ellen, or rocky, or even your twin sister feel. completely original.. never to be reproduced again. it's kind of amazing if you think about it.
amazing. but never wrong.
so if you're in love with someone who you have always felt was perfect and you always saw yourself with that person for the rest of your life.. and then something happens and you don't FEEL that way anymore. then you don't. and that's not wrong.
or if your whole life you hated pancakes. totally despised them, gagged when they were brought around.. and then you don't FEEL that way the next time you pass IHOP. then get it. because you're not wrong for having a change of heart. have your IHOP and enjoy it too. [yes.. this blog is sponsored by the International House of Pancakes.]
if you don't want to buy those shoes that your friends have because you don't FEEL them.. then don't. you're not wrong for feeling that way.
promise me you'll think about this. i'm sorry it's not funny or witty or anything. but it's something i FEEL this is something people need to hear.
