June 9th, 2014.


Dear diary,

I never meant to be here. Waiting for something. Wandering in the limbo. My intentions were always to be with someone that I loved for the rest of my life. To be happy. To feel like life is worth living. I find it harder and harder to happen. I always thought that my first shot would be my last. Oh, how mistaken I was. It is such a strange world I live in. Love is supposed to be tough, I know that. It isn’t about how much you can feel happy with someone, but how much you can take without giving up. The idea of the future with someone overcomes the feeling of just walking away, even if that will make you feel better for a while. Everyone has flaws. There isn’t a single perfect person in this world. We are all looking for someone to feel good about sharing our problems with.
                People tend to find possibilities in everything. If they are in an uncomfortable situation, we search ways to get out of it. Maybe they don’t even know it, but they do. If you are in a relationship that isn’t getting to your expectations, you most likely will start to look for new partners. A friend, an acquaintance, anyone who will fit in your needs. That way, you at least have a second option, in case everything goes wrong. And I understand it, I know that this is just the world. This is the twenty first century. I just refuse to accept it. I don’t want to be a part of this madness. These modern relationships that are more and more confusing. They end in the same way they started: in a glimpse. You call your boyfriend or girlfriend, tell them you are breaking up. No contact, just a single call. I mean, why would you bother to do it in person, right? It is much more comfortable. You save yourself a whole bunch of drama. After that, you just need take it off your facebook status and you are good to go. You are ready to start dating with someone else, guilty free. You are ready to flirt with that one who you met a while ago, when you were in a relationship. Maybe even have something? Some fun night? A new partner? You can either just kiss or have sex. Both options are surprisingly common to happen.
                It is sad how things end up nowadays. Relationships were supposed to be really complicated, yet they finish like it was nothing more than just some months spent. I mean, it is supposed to, right? Gathering two people and putting them side-by-side, telling them to accept each other’s problems. It is almost impossible. I would say that this one of the most difficult things in the world: to be in a relationship. But no, it seems like people can’t have commitments. They just run away when it is convenient to them. Like there was no passion involved, or feelings. It is just “Hey, we are breaking up. Sorry about that. Bye.”. Horrible, isn’t it? Yeah, I find it too. No strings attached? Probably. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that, actually. The way people see relationships nowadays is disgusting.
                I wish it wasn’t like that. It should matter to have someone by your side. They are not just a plastic bag, that you can throw away and then pick it up again. This isn’t okay. At least not for me. I know that people change. Feelings change. We are constantly transforming ourselves, whether we like it or not. You are not the same as you were last week and neither I am. You see things and they change you. You can feel something for somebody and, one day, you don’t anymore. You can’t control it, it is just life. I know all of it. You, and only you, make your choices through life. You can be anything you want to. You can do whatever you want to. But you have to know that there are consequences to your actions. You can’t expect to hurt someone so deeply and hope that things won’t change. It doesn’t work that way. You can’t just disappear from someone’s life and them comeback, like nothing happened. Time happened. You made your choice to vanish and there are consequences to that.
                I would also like to talk about relationships that were built from long friendships, but that would be too personal for me. I am not ready for it, yet. It is still painful and I don’t want to have thoughts on that. Not again. I need some time from this.
                Thank you for listening, Tom. I appreciate that.


Sincerely,
Victor Luiz.
