We are still breaking up people....
The breakups are continuing at a surprising rate. Another couple we are good friends with split up over the weekend. They just bought a house and have a young girl, which must make things very difficult. On top of having to deal with issues between themselves, they also must worry about their kid.
Im not sure what is going on lately, but its like a flu sweeping thru a kindergarten class.
Maybe this generation isnt ready for long term relationships. Could it be that Generation Here and Now isnt capable of, not only tolerating the same person day in and day out, but loving them too?
Are we so impatient that any trouble at all is good enough reason to end everything?
Does this post sound like a Sex and the City episode?
Its definately hard to imagine 60, 70 years with the same person. No matter how much you love the person you are with, its hard to project life out that far. And its hard for people my age to grasp growing old. Although, I suppose its hard for everyone...
We all have memories of younger days, when you could go out with friends and you didnt have responsibilities like mortgages, kids, car payments... And we all have things that we could do to improve the quality of the relationships we are in. We could be a little more caring, romantic, sexual, fun...
Older folks always say that relationships and marriages take work. They're right, they take incredible amounts of work. Its not easy being with the same person every day of your life, regardless of how much you love each other. But life in general is not easy. Work isnt easy, paying bills isnt easy, having kids isnt easy...
The people who are in search of the easy things in life, their younger days basically, are never going to be really happy. We're only going to grow old, we're not getting any younger. You can never escape the bills, and the kids, the things that happen when you get older.
You know... I had a point to make when I started this post... I dont know. Maybe its that its hard to watch friends go thru these things. And so many all at once. I think its what is defining our generation.
A generation of selfish kids who just refuse to grow up. Thats us.... Can you imagine what the next generation will bring?
Me neither...
