I like learning. A lot. But once you’ve been through tons of lessons, you realize that there are patterns in the different methods of learning. You could either pay attention to what others around you have experienced and then internalize what they have to say (and these have to be people you trust); or you could just experience it yourself and learn it the hard-way.
“What I’ve Learned About Relationships” by Me
– distancing yourself and avoiding emotional attachment is smart when appropriate
– being completely distant is not smart at all. If you’re with someone care for them. There is a difference between protecting your feelings and being selfish with them.
– be thoughtful
– be safe
– know what you want and express it openly
– if something is bothering you, share it
– if you’re still not satisfied, break ties immediately
You’ll be mad/sad/glad, but remember, everyone is only human and things sometimes just don’t work out like in the movies.
Those marvelous, marvelous movies…
This Amazing Fantasy 
the movies are overrated. once you find THE love that is real, movies are just movies.
“it struck me that i’ve been waiting since birth to find, a love that would look and sound like a movie”
touché. but i don’t know. movies are too perfect, and real love just isn’t like that.
