Thoughts in my head

May 27, 2008 - Posted by kissmecait There's this song from the musical "Avenue Q" that's really making me think tonight. "There's a fine, fine line between love. And a waste of time." Now I know some of you will read that and automatically think I'm talking about my relationship, but rest easy my darlings, I am not. I used to be one of those girls who let her boyfriend tell her she was nothing, and that they would never find anyone to love them. But I'm not nothing. And I did find someone who loves me. More than my ex ever did. I stood up for myself, and left a relationship that was emotionally abusive in more ways than I care to explain on this blog. So it pains me when I see someone I care about go through the same thing. I've always looked up to her for her strength and ability to push through difficult times. But she gets herself mixed up in these relationships where she can't stand up for herself. I mean he doesn't straight up tell her she's worthless and a piece of crap, but constantly making someone feel stupid and worthless, can make them start to believe it. Even if you aren't saying it.  I guess looking back on my own experiences, I still can't fully understand it. I can't tell you why I stayed as long as I did or put up with the things he did. So it makes it hards to understand why she does it too.  I guess this is just a rant. A silly blogger venting about the inner workings of the world around her. Isn't that what these blogs are for anyways? To ask questions in hopes that someone out there has some wisdom to pass on? Maybe I'm being over protective of my friend, and jumping to conclusions. But it just seems to me that if someone has spent the last 2 years hurting your feelings and makes no effort to fix things, that it's time to get out. But I guess I only see part of the situation, so it could be different behind closed doors. -Cait Also, here's today's MeToday.
