A friend came over to talk to me about something that plagues most people here-the past. Let me get more specific though…love. And let me call this guy “Stinger”. He’ll know who I’m talking about, and so will a few others. They will get a kick out of it. And for anyone reading, eventually you will understand too.

ON A SIDE NOTE: I’VE DECIDED TO GO BACK ON ONLY CHANGING THE GRAMMAR IN THESE POSTS. SOME OF THEM WERE JUST TOO BAD NOT TO FIX. ALSO, I FELT I WAS MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADD IN EXPERIENCE I’VE GAINED INTO THESE OLD THOUGHTS. FROM NOW ON I AM GOING TO EDIT THESE AS BEST AS I CAN. THERE WILL BE OMISSIONS, EXPANSIONS, AND EXPLANATIONS OF THE BETTER FLOWERS FROM THESE THOUGHTS OF SOME 15 YEARS AGO.

I tried to tell him that things were probably fine, but that he had to accept the fact she may break it off with him too. He, of course, will not listen and thinks something is wrong. Why is it one can never see clearly in the throes of feelings?

blinded love

The chances are against anything being wrong with her. This happens to guys in here all the time. The thought goes: “she wouldn’t do that to me.” But for some people this is the only way they can let go. It happens without a word. Without an explanation. Without a goodbye. While we as prisoners cling to these loves, they, the free try to figure out how to escape. Ironic. You do hear of some relationships that last, that somehow survive the storm. However, for the most part, these men are holding on to something that is long gone with the wind. And can you blame these women? The really crazy thing to me, women who start relationships with men while they are locked up. And almost as crazy are the dudes in here who have sentences like mine and swear their girls are out there waiting for them. Each situation is different, but the thoughts are delusional to a high degree. In the minority here are those of us who know their women aren’t waiting around for them even if they say they are. Reality rarely resides here.
