Relationships

I have come to a conclusion. It is unsupported by any data that I know of except for that which is completely anecdotal. Still, I believe it is an... insightful thought. I guess it's more of a musing than a conclusion.

Relationships will have high points and low points. People are not the same. They never will be. No two people can agree 100% on everything. It's hard to even do that with anything. When you put two people in close proximity for a long period of time, then they will talk about the disagreements more than the agreements most of the time. They will cause drama for little reason.

I've read that it is because of entertainment that we do these things. We see them happen on television and in plays and wonder why our lives aren't like that. We want our lives to be exciting, so we add our own excitement. I don't know if this is the case, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was. It wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't either. It would surprise me if all of our drama was created by aliens sticking to our bodies throughout our entire lives. However, I've only heard that theory from one group and they are often not thought of as reliable.

So, long story short, there will be issues. You can work them out if you don't ignore them. I'm not sure if teenagers, or young people in general, understand that there will be issues. I think many believe there is a relationship waiting out there for them with no issues. I don't know. There may be one. There probably isn't one for me. However, I also know that if I work out the issues -- if we work out the issues -- then the relationship can end up being better for the both of us than it was to begin with.

Since I believe that no relationship is issue-less (given enough time) I continually try to resolve said issues, instead of just escaping them. This often results in more issues than there were to begin with, because often the person who was trying to avoid said issues isn't exactly going to love the idea of confronting them.

So here I face another problem. Is it worth it to bring up the issues? In my heart of hearts, I really do believe that both people will both end up happier if things are resolved. I know that I can't be sure of this, but I feel like it is true.

So I guess I'm asking you to give me a chance. Another chance. Let's try to resolve this. Let's see how far we can go. If the same issues come up again, if you find out that these things cannot be resolved, then I'll drop it. I'll let you go. But if you find yourself happy again, then just remember, happiness fluctuates. One little dip shouldn't break the whole curve.
