"We are terrible for each other, and yes- we're a disaster. But tell me your heart doesn't race for a hurricane or a burning building. I'd rather die terrified, then live forever."
I quite possibly think that the above quote is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Its the empitome of relationships in a sense- or a relationship from the past, one that has yet to happen. Why is it we always want more out of relationships then just the thirll?
Maybe I'm a terrible person- but theres nothing more intreguing to me as human relationships. We all are so dependant on others that it's honestly impossible to take someone away from that and see them survive. I can be an addict for dramatics, but it always boils down to love with me. We all have the dramatic friend, the friend you talk to for advice, the friend you cry with (although you might not be able to immediately think of the name of the person: trust me, you have one).
But has anyone really stopped to think, we're just fragments of others lives? And our lives are fragments in the lives of others. If you took absolutely everyone you've ever met or had contact with, and mooshed all their knowledge together, you can see your life story.
What about those lonely thoughts though? The ones that swim alone in your head, never to be muttered. What about all those whispers from your concience telling you to go back to the city- to get lost in the crowd. Run away with love. Live like you'll never live again.
What about those thoughts that remind you of all the people you would hurt if you did exactly what you desire. What about how they'll piece together your life to find out why you left. What about the impact your absence would have on their life.
What about you.
