Love is a minefield.

"Love is a minefield. You take a step and get blown to pieces, put yourself back together again and stupidly take another step. I guess that's human nature. It hurts so much to be alone that we'd all rather blow up than be single". Kate Welles (Famke Janssen) in Love & Sex (2000)

This really had me thinking about the last few years of my life and just how many "relationships" I've been in. I include friendships that have failed, and a few that are still hanging in there, and also love type relationships. I don't really want to add them up or use this blog to focus on the negative. I just wanted to get a few things out of my brain. I still talk to my ex, in Chicago, as well as the ex I had before him, who lives here. I do have a boyfriend of sorts now, though I don't count it in the relationship/ love aspect as it's not that integrated into who I am yet. It's just odd to so many people I talk to that I'm still friends with so many people who have "screwed me over". I guess it's the poor memory filtering aspect of it that has me thinking about a lot of the positive things.

 

I guess I don't really know where my life is headed or what relationship I'll go to next.. for now I have a few close friends and a few ex's who are making my life rather interesting....
