Despite popular belief, this post is not about porn. Figured i should get it out of the way before trolls of teenage boys continue reading only to be left very unsatisfied (then again what teenage boy reads blogs?).
The problem with having huge dreams in goals in life, is that sometimes it means being lonely. You can surround yourself with people who know you and even people you like, but a lot of times an intimate connection goes missing. My dreams aren't even that big. I don't want to be a doctor or cure cancer, i just want to get a degree and get out of this country. Yet, that can mean spending some time without the comfort of another person.
Humans, by nature, crave companionship. We are designed to be cohabitants with others, develop communities, and build relationships. We are meant to want and even need others. So why is it that often times we feel we have to go it alone?
This is where the Alaskan Asshole comes in. I have a great friend that wants to live to Alaska and because of it, feels he can't make any true relationships because he'll have to leave them behind in three years anyway. I find this stupid. Of course I'm a bit biased on the issues as i think that me and said asshole should just date already...but that's besides the point. I think that Alaska really means well. He doesn't want to make promises he knows he can't keep but i can't help but think that he must live a half fulfilled life. Don't get me wrong, he has plenty of friends but no one that can truly say they know him at his best and at his worst. I think that he is missing the point of being alive. We are supposed to surround our selves with people that make us laugh until we pee, so why not pursue the relationships that do this?
Disclaimer: He's not really an asshole, it just worked for alliteration purposes. I think that he has the absolute best intentions but intentions don't always make actions right. I'm not even sure where this post is going anymore...i just have a lot of feelings ok? Anyway, the point is, if you have someone in your life that loves you for you and treats you like you are the very definition of perfection, then don't let them go. Sometimes i have people all figured out, and other times i'm left sitting alone scratching my head and saying WhatTheBilly.
