Why I Can't Accept "LOVE"

How do you just stop loving someone?

Why I Can't Accept "LOVE"
Revd Cris Rogers

Everyone I knows breaks up.

My mom got divorced. My aunt got divorced. My uncle got divorced. My grandfather died when I was young so I didn't really see my grandma with anyone. My other grandma's husband died years before I was born so I never knew her with anyone. My sister had lots of boyfriends but not around me. As I assume the same with my cousin. One of my other cousins just broke up with his long-time girlfriend (and fiancee, I can't remember). All my friends have had unhealthy relationships.

I've never seen a long healthy relationship. So how can I have faith in them?

How can I possibly send two friends off happily in marriage when I've seen them fight, time and time again?

It might be fighting over stupid things but in my experience, fights over little things turn into fights over bigger things and in the end, end badly.

The relationships I have hope in, a week later breakup. Like HOW?

How can you spent an intimate part of your life with someone and then just stop.

Like I can kinda get it with a friendship, heck I've broken up friendships like that *snap*, (that was a finger snap if you were confused, you get the expression), but a relationship it doesn't seem like you have the same walls up so how does that work?

I get crushed when people stop being my friend, so I guess I'd get really crushed by a relationship.

But I don't understand it. How do you just stop caring for someone? Or did you ever really?

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
