Just a Thought to Hold you Over

You know, when I was younger I had a pretty skewed view of some things in this world. Like how much money was worth, how “hard” my school work was, but I also viewed relationships differently. Can you believe that I always thought it was the girl who was hurt after a break up. I never really thought about how the guy was feeling. In movies and books it always showed the girl running home, eating a tub of ice cream, and crying to all her friends. Guys were tough, guys didn’t care, they had other girls lined up. Well i’ve learned how wrong I was. I’ve met so many sensitive guys. In befriending these guys I now see their side, rather than only the girls side. I see their sadness after a breakup. Sure they might not be so forthright with their sadness, and many prefer to hide within themselves and not talk to anyone, but the pain is evident. Did you know seeing a guy sad is one of the saddest things i’ve seen. I think its because we’ve become so oversensitized to the sight of a girl crying, but since guys hide it, it strikes a chord in your heart that isn’t often struck. So in learning this one day I also learned that maybe I had to rethink some things, and you’d never believe how much bigger the world is when your mind is open to all the possibilities.

ps. new creative writing stories should be coming up
