Recently I came across a page from QuestionableContent, one of my favorite and frequently read relatively down-to-earth Slice of Life webcomics. I... am not entirely certain how to feel about it given how I think it addresses a faulty logic a lot of people seem to have. The idea of a "number of fuckups" or "three strikes you're out!" seems to be a common mentality with a lot of people, that you can only screw up so many times before you're not worth being around. But getting better, improving, staying away from mistakes (which you are BOUND to repeat because we are not machines) is a process, and sometimes a very slow one. I will link the page below. I say this because I feel like some people that I have known were all too eager to cast me out, especially given that after lengthy conversations with some of my friends, family and a skilled social psychiatrist, when you are depressed, angry, sad and feeling intensely alone you inevitably end up feeling bitter and might say something you don't necessarily mean. Simply because at the time it was a great way to vent ugly things you would not ordinarily say to anyone's face, most of them seemed to agree that yes, you screwed up but the cause of your screw up is a believable one.

Maybe I will never truly be free from my past, but then again maybe I only say this because it has only been six months since my life took a complete turn around, in some cases for the worst, other cases for the better I think. Do you have somebody to talk to about these things? Have you experienced what it is to feel like you are faulty when the other person more often than not also makes mistakes?

Perhaps I am simply rambling, the comic just got me thinking about somethings I think are misconstrued thoughts about a relationship. I don't truly (at least I don't think I do) believe in love at first sight or destiny or soul mates, they're nice concepts don't misunderstand me! But being with someone is a lengthy process of learned curves, straights and bumps and highs and lows. You can learn to love someone, more often than not the "feeling of newness" is what I think most people mistake for love at first sight, or lust on the first night to quote a cute yaoi song? ^^; either way, I shall put the comic page down below so people can offer their thoughts if they wish to! This isn't a criticism or a condemnation of anybody's perception, it's an opinion on something I think I have observed personally, as such I would like to know if anybody out there shares the same brain-sputters! That's it for today, have a good one you all! ^^;
