Best Friend, Please Come Home

Hey, guys. So right now, I'm talking to my bestest friend in the whole wide world, Mackenzie. She (sadly) now lives in Miami. She moved there almost 2 years ago. I miss her like CRAAAZY!!! Argh. I've known her since 4th grade...good times.
One time I went over to her house, and we had like 8 pizza pops in two days. And then for dessert, we had TWO buckets of lemon and lime sherbert. while watching the Little Mermaid. It was such a good time. Then, the next morning, we decided to work it all off in a nice brisk jog. Turns out, we jogged for 5 minutes, got tired, and went back to her house for another pizza pop each. Or the time when we decided that we wanted to feel good about ourselves so we went for a run. We ended up running to BDI to get some ice cream. Or the time that I let her cut my sidebangs into front-bangs. And she cut them SO crookedly that I had to wear them up for 4 months afterwards to let them grow out again, and then I had to fix them myself. Good times. So you can see why I miss these good times.
Unfortunately, we live in different countries now. She's coming back to Canada in like a year or so, but she'll be in a different province. I miss her like CRAZY, as I mentioned before. And the sad part is - I have no idea (and neither does she) when she's coming back home. So I don't know if it'll be two more years or ten more years till I see my best friend in the whole wide world again. :(

Love you and miss you!

Love, Obsession, and Cynicism

Some say that love can cause people to do great things. Yes, but love can also cause people to do STUPID things. Someone under the influence of what they believe as “love” can do something they would NEVER even think about doing, like say trying to prove their love for someone by killing themselves. This is DUMB. I mean, that is NOT love. That is something I like to call OBSESSION.
Yes, you may call me cynical. But, I think you’ll find, in course time, that every time “love” (or what you believe to be “love”) occurs, someone ends up getting hurt. The percentage of marriges ending in divorce is something like 70/30. Why do you think this is? Becuase dumb people think that they are in love, while they are really under the temporary, disorentating spell that causes attraction. Hormones. Definition of Hormone: the secretion of an endocrine gland that is transmitted by the blood to the tissue on which it has a specific effect on the brain and actions of the person. All this temporary “love” spell does is make someone blind to their “lover’s” faults, and make them crazy and “lovesick”, which I define as: someone who is under the delusion of being in love, finding their “true” love, which makes them do crazy things, like suspend total, realistic reality and makes them beleive that that one person can make their life a much better place. Well. THEY’RE IN FOR A HUGE SURPRISE. Because from what I’ve seen, one of them will cheat or do something EXTREMELY hurtful and cause the other’s heart to “break”. Of course, people exaggerate A LOT these days. Hearts can’t physically break. Obviously. And romantic love isn’t actually in your heart in the first place. It’s in your BRAIN. So, when that person who you think you’re in love with proves my point and BRAKES your “heart”, you can’t really say that your heart is broken. You can say that your BRAIN is broken, because deep down you really know that you never really felt ANYTHING in your heart in the first place. It was ALL in your HEAD.
Let’s talk about CHEATING. Scenario: A man falls in “love.” They are together, life is great. They get married. They are together for a number of years, living the “dream” (but really missing out on a LOT of things that would probably be a lot better). Then, the man has a MEET CUTE. That’s when he meets another girl in a really cute, ironic way. They start talking, she gives him her number. Depending on the man, he will either call or not call. Lets say that he doesnt call. So she calls him, finds some excuse to dial him up. He says that he can’t do this because he is married. Good for him, he admits he is married. But then, he realizes all the things that are wrong with his wife. So, he decides to call the girl. They meet. Eventually, he is cheating. He may not realize it, but yes. He is CHEATING.
Why do you think this is? Why do you think that men choose to cheat? Oh, and it’s not just men. It’s women, too. And the reason is: THEY’VE FOUND IT. They’ve grasped the fact that “love” doesn’t exist. Love is the temporary feeling of passion and devotion to someone, which they will soon tire of. So they cheat. They get the drama going. They like the rush of not being certian if they’re unknowing oblivious partner will find out or not. They do it because they like the feeling of doing something they know is wrong. And then the partner finds out. And they end their feeling of “love”. They then FINALLY realize that I am RIGHT, LOVE DOESNT EXIST.
