The Truth About Commitment

  I am not good at being on the other end of commitment ropes. I have broken quite a lot of promises, and I have tried to avoid certain circumstances for my own comfort. Not cool. But then, there’s this line:

“If you can’t hang then there’s the door, baby.” (SWS, 2011)

  Probably not the best line to quote for this topic, but hey, this is my blog so fock uff. First of all, I am not a stayer. I am a leaver, I admit. But I really think that staying in a relationship just for the sake of hanging around and eventually being annoyed with each other is not the way to go. If I don’t think the relationship is giving me what I deserve, then I leave. It’s just the same thing as the way that I expect the other party to not settle for my shortcomings. Life is not a battle of who stays or who goes, it’s about who gets to be truthful about their feelings.

  If you’re happy, you stay. If you’re not, you leave. There’s no such thing as an in between, where you suffer and ignore.
