It's hard to argue against the fact that young folk (note the sarcasting usage of that description) seem devastatingly attracted to DRAMA. Sometimes in friendships and family dynamics, and ALWAYS in relationships. It's the guy who doesn't call when he says he will, but then finally does, but then sends mixed signals, but then kisses you, but then dumps you, but then says he can't live without you....well, you know the story. He's the one who gets your attention. We have ALL been there. On both sides of the equation - sometimes we are thrown hither and thither and sometimes we do the throwing. It's always more noticeable BEING thrown than throwing. Sadly.
ANYWAYS...the prevelent theory is that at some point in our lives, we reach a stage where we grow up and decide to "settle down." No more drama, no more craziness, no more irrationality. Just basic love. Inside a day-to-day routine. Occassionally shaken up by Hallmark produced holidays like Valentine's Day.
So which is better? The butterflies? The stability?
I have gotten to a point where I am convinced that what I really want is stability. I am not looking to get married, but I will not waste time and energy I do not have on the losers who only want to cause drama. I need someone honest, responsible, financially secure, educated, etc.
But then the "drama situation" throws a text my way. Or many. And I sink back into the sea of insecurity, intrigue, manipulation, sexy irresponsibility....
Catch me, I'm falling. Catch me, I'm falling. Catch me, I'm falling.
