Did someone once say "stick to the road less travelled"?
Well that feels like what I am doing.
I see people who are in relationships that are in differing states of failure. I see some who would love the opportunity to fail at it who can't appreciate the stain that failed relationships leave on your soul.
I walk between the paths on a nice flat but grassy path. Yes others have already walked where I am but not many.
Is this what it's like being a superhero I wonder. Having to chose to have no loved ones near in case harm comes close to them.
NO it's not like that. Not unless my super power is to sit alone with a coke and a film, whilst stretching out my arms and saying"ah this is the life".
I catch myself stopping in my home and listening to the silence. I remember when that silence was filled with the chatter which was either directly telling me how shit I was or dowsing the seemingly natural conversation with undertones of how shit I was.
Ah marriage. Cornerstone of any agreement which exchanges who you are really inside for a cold and hard ball of resentment.
But hey. Relationships offer more than that don't they?
Come on what about the good times!
Coming home to find someone already waiting for you..."I thought you were meant to take the rubbish out but I've done it now"
Or the cuddling up in bed on a night with another person.
"if she doesnt let me get in my sleeping position soon
, I'm off to sleep on the fucking couch"
You can keep it.
