gentlemen what's going on...why do we suck at relationships...
and by we ,, i mean the western culture in general.. not you or me specifically
but to be honest ive sucked at relationships as well....because i followed what i THOUGHT a
relationship was or is supposed to be....but fuck...who the hell really knows
and It's self-evident that relationships are in quite the predicament, look at the divorce rates,
and the winding navigation of the new age social media scene....
among scores of other life challenges, that will.... always rear their devious head...
death, taxes, breakups, break ins breakouts etc. etc...
like a pissed off overweight diva when the all you can eat buffet runs out of bacon.
shit happens and shit leaves us pissed, confused and complicated
Those .karens. deaths and the likes,
are ONLY a start to the difficulties..... a relationship CAN and will encounter
man and woman meet, they like each other, they pursue each other
but man has a past, woman has a past too....
man has his belief system and woman has her belief system
maybe they're heading in the same direction, but man has an idea of how to get there
and woman believes in her ways to arrive at said destination are better
and this presents problems...... but this is life....billions of people all wanting
their little piece of happiness...
but all varying in the actions to get there...
and so the engine, the power and force running relationships off the cliff to their death
is...... the instant gratification curse of modernity...
oh what a fucking curse it is......"I WANT IT NOW" AND MY WAY IS THE BEST
AND SO THE REASON RELATIONSHIPS SUCK IS...
We too often have a short term mindset with a temporary behaviors
, we cut corners in effort to have it OUR WAY NOW!!. but The fast way now is the LONG way in the end...
we ignore the red flags....such as...she has three kids with three different baby daddies
...umm she hasn't worked in 5 years....and it ALWAYS has to be her way.....
we overlook these for the temporary pleasure of some fantasy
.....we've cooked up in our head of what relationships are
supposed to look like.....but according to who.....the news....the media....the newest song....OR YOU...
This lust for intense instant gratification cause these tiny debts to ACCUMULATE
until eventually were bankrupt .....
we give up a little freedom for this....we give up a piece of OUR direction for that
we lose a little bit of our sovereignty for a seat at the table of uncomfotable slavery
ever felt like the cultural standard of relationships or... ANYTHING for that matter HAS YOU anchored down...
So the perfect relationship template in its cookie cutter fashion needs to be...MMM injected with a fresh look ....
it needs to fit YOU and your direction, what do YOU want, are you more traditional,
are you seeking money, freedom, love, a partner, fun, adventure, simplicity. Etc etc.
and then go to work finding a compatible partner....key word compatible...not perfect..
perfect doesnt fucking exist
because WHO THE HELL believes love is going to fall from the heavens and hit you square in the love hole.....
without any effort......
nothing in life is guaranteed and easy,,,,,and those selling you that shit
need to be slapped and kicked in THEIR love holes....
fuck love and all its new age watered down bullshit....
modern love is a WEAK depiction of what a relationship is actually supposed to look like...
a relationship is specific to those involved....and in an INTIMATE partnership.... it is distinct
to those TWO tied together....
so we have to remove ourselves from the societal narrative... and begin to blatantly refuse
the sign posts of weak ass relationship standards...
So here's to brining new ideas to what it means to have a relati9nship
and by new I mean a recoursing to the old and traditional way of excellence and a commitment
to a code. to having actual self imposed standards
fuck the white washed two story house with the lame ass white picket fence....
thats not your direction , then don't get caught up in fooling yourself into the
mockery of what a true relationship..... is supposed to be and represent...
Instant is the biggest lie sold to us modern men...
because its the trial and efforts,,,,its the actual slaying of the dragons that release the
true power of what lies within a man...
EASY doesn't make you a man....kids enjoy an easy life....
and we see how pissed off they get when it doesn't go their way...
