Masochists?
I’ve always wondered why are people attracted to people that bring them pain. Is it because it makes them feel wanted in the world? Maybe it might be the fact that they receive attention, in which almost everyone is an attention whore. Come on, who would want to be cast away from society? No thank you. But I feel that most of us find it adoring to have what we want even though it hurts the shit out of us. People complain about heartbreaks, confusion of love, and a lost of perception of what is ethical, but truly, it is the individual’s fault at the end. There’s nothing stopping us from moving on away from our problems, except excuses. “I can’t let go of the love i have for him.. I know the love i have for him is something special. I’ll never have it again if i let go now..” Fighting for something special is completely different from denial; but how will anyone differentiate from denial and fighting for something? Denial is when you see your significant other ogling over someone obviously. Fighting for something is rare honestly. At this day of age, having something, someone genuinely special that makes you have pure enjoyment. You know you have something magnificent when .. well you shouldn’t even fight for it. It should just fight together, not perfectly, but enough to never question if we should let go of it or not. I presume the number one thing to make us all a bit masochists is the fact that we always choose denial over reality because we’re given the notion to find our happiness. Last time i checked, happiness is not enjoying pain, unless you’re freaken kinky. Oh dang.. But on a more serious matter, i’d want to say i would want people to stop being such masochists because it’s just a waste of time for holding onto something that has already disintegrated. Why do i care? Well, i used to be one of those people. I reflected upon what had happened and just asked myself, “Why did i not let go of this?!” I don’t think i’m stupid for not letting go because shit happens, and i’m still young. I just held onto pure pain as it made me feel visible most of the time; to feel an emotion rather than ambivalence. Do i regret it? No,I wouldn’t regret it at all. Those experiences just strengthen my endurance to negativity and showed me a path to be more cautiously smarter. I just hope people realize that time is valuable and should learn to stay away from denial; otherwise, hello masochist.
