Something to set you thinking...

My partner and I were having a chat about how his buddy managed to sustain a relationship for twelve years. Yes, you read right.
TWELVE years. *eyes widen in amazement*
Twelve. Freaking. Years. *eyes popping out of sockets*
Some marriages do not even last that long! Not much was exchanged since it was a short journey home but I was left totally amazed at how some people can do it.

Barely two hours later, I got an IM on Facebook. A girlfriend told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend of fifteen years. WTF???

How weird life is. You hear something happy and you start to feel that maybe life doesn't really suck. Then you hear something that bothers you and you start to feel that maybe life sucks after all.

Roller coaster, I say - one up and one down. And up and down you go till you are irritated or till you get flung out of the ride. Okay, the latter is definitely even more fucked up cos you have no control.

My brother is probably right - it's 2009 now. Unlike our parents' times where people go through thick and thin and stick together no matter what, people these days part at the snap of the fingers.

A thought for the day - have you embraced all the good little things in your life and REALLY learn how to treasure what you have? We do not have the ability to control what tomorrow will bring but we have the ability to cherish what we have and give our best shot in it. Have you given your best?
