Escaping Reality
"There's a reason I said I'd be happy alone. It wasn't 'cause I thought I'd be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It's easier to be alone, because what if you learn that you need love and you don't have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever." -Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy)
Hi loves!
I have watched "Grey's Anatomy" from the beginning and throughout the years, it has given me the most relatable quotes. From happy to sad to excited, I have always been able to pick out an episode and just sit there knowing exactly what they were talking about. TV shows have a good way of allowing you to escape reality for an hour or so whether you relate to what is happening or just want to forget about everything completely, there is a show for that. I have plenty of shows that I watch, all giving me a different way to relax. I would go through them but then we would be here all night. It's crazy how many people use TV, movies or music to enhance what they are feeling. If you are happy, you watch or listen to happy things. If you are sad, you watch or listen to things that will make you cry. Why is it not the opposite? Why does going through a break up mean watching "The Notebook" and crying your eyes out, all while eating a gallon of ice cream?
I have been in an on-again-off-again relationship for almost four years now. I have never really talked about it because we agreed it would be better if we were "just friends." We were better as friends. For three years, I have hung with the guys and played cards or gone to BBQ's with his friends or spend a day at the lake. We would also go out to fancy dinners, go shopping or just sit and talk for hours. Neither one of us has dated anyone else though. It was a happy medium. We had talked about it and said, of course, it's fine, but it never happened. So when the day came that he showed up with another girl, why did it hurt so much?
That night was rough on both of us it seemed. We spent hours with friends and at one point he pulled me aside and said sorry. I said there was nothing to be sorry about. I cried, we hugged and that was it. He went back to his girlfriend and we continued playing Charade's and had a good night. After they all left, that was it. We were done.
I am one of those people that don't show emotion when it counts. I put up a good front and busy myself which is why I am doing my math homework, writing a paper, watching an old episode of Pretty Little Liars and typing up this blog post. I know eventually, I will get hit with a ton of bricks and cry in the shower for an hour. But that will be it and I will continue with my life. I am strong and have a lot to look forward to. I will not be crying my eyes out and watching The Notebook with a gallon of ice cream in my hands. I will just simply move on and that is okay.
