Love Please Come and Haunt Me Always...I'd Let You Come and Take Me On

    It's kind of amazing and awe inspiring, how quickly, things come back to normal after being so chaotic, hell-blazen, and just downright dark for such a long time. It's not hard to go back to the way things used to be, but the hard thing is for those things to feel right. We become so used to the terrible way that things are and when we fix them we don't know what to do next. Everyone is so afraid to change the way things have become because we're so afraid of what comes next and we're afraid of hurting the people we really love and the people we never mean to hurt. The sad thing is that these people hurt us in the end. Sometimes we have to hurt people we love and simply move on in order to sustain a happy medium, but what's good for many is hardly ever good for one. We do it because we realize that we made a mistake, or that we are better off, but hardly do we ever realize that we're hurting other people all along, but more times than not we don't care because we don't see it.
    It's hard to be that person, the one on the outside, trying to sustain what makes you happy, but reaction is key, and when that person on the outside feels backed into a corner and everything they know is about to change and it's only natural. The biggest problem is how these people handle it. I have been this person before, it isn't fun, it isn't cool, and it isn't easy. It's strange, however, to see how people are affected by such petty things and it hurts to see how much people hurt from hearing the things that they need to hear. When backed into a corner, one thing I've noticed is that people lash out immediately. Most recently is how surprised I am at the actions of one against another and the harsh and cruel things said. Sadly, the worst part is how childish people can be, how immature, and how relentless they are to grasp on to the last bits of what they have. Even worse, is when others encourage them and assure them that what they believe is right and ok. It's tough to imagine that these people will never be told they're wrong and will always be protected by stupid beliefs and "customs."
    The only people that can help these people is themselves and once more they will not and will never change in a endless match of Catch-22.
    Why do we wish so badly to change the world? I find it sad that we can make everything better because we're making others happy, but we don't look at the bigger picture. We see everything in the contexts of what we believe and the confines of our worlds and nothing else. Why do we think we can change everything? What makes us special, giving us the ability to tell others how to make everything better? The true fact of the matter that has nowadays become cliché is that we have to "fix ourselves, before fixing others." As true as this statement is, no one I know lives by this. People say you have to "learn how to forgive yourself." Once again, no one I know knows how to do this and it becomes harder and harder to see the truth beyond what we already hold so damn dear in our hearts. It's scary to know that no one can fix themselves and that there are so few instances when we actually can and more times than not, it's too late.
