relationships and such

I know its been a long time since i've posted, but i guess it doesnt matter. but i'm back from china. i feel that that trip had thought me many things, but also brought many questions to my mind. but i guess for now i'm going to rant/ talk about relationships and such. i've been through/ witnessed my fair share of relationships. and yet i see it so often, it still intrigues me. relationships are such a simple concept, yet it bring about the most amount of joy or grief that one will ever experience in his or her life. and even though we all know the risk, we all still want one. i guess its just in our human nature. 

in my time in china, i met this girl who thinks a lot like me. and we are extremely similar. ironically, despite knowing me for such a short period of time, when compared to the rest of her friends, she strangely opened up to me. she told a lot, but not even close to everything, about this guy she liked and about the past history they've had. she told me more about it then any other person she had ever told. it made me wonder why she did, but neither her nor i could find the answer. regardless, she told me today that the guy she liked had gotten attached to her friend. the thing is, the friend didnt know about the guy's past history with my friend. so my friend had to sit down with her and just listen about their whole story of how they got together. when i was listening to this, it just killed me so much inside to hear it. and yet she managed to solider on and not show her real emotions. this makes me wonder how i'd react had it been me. i doubt i would take it as well as she did. but i'm proud of her, and i giver her major respect for it. this just goes to show how much pain a relationship can bring to people unknowingly. and yet, we all still want to get into one. ironic isnt it. but i guess thats just life
