they know how to break all the girls like you

it’s an interesting thing: advice. we’re all eager to give it, but not so eager to receive it sometimes. well, i take that back…we’re eager to receive it if we ask for it. it’s the unsolicited advice that’s hard to swallow sometimes.

what makes this advice so hard to stomach is knowing the motives behind it. if they were pure, the advice would be welcomed with open arms. but, when someone offers advice under the guise of helpfulness when they actually have a self-serving agenda…well, i just don’t know what to make of that.

i mean…what good does that really do? it’s not helping anyone. all it does is breed confusion, hurts feelings, and possibly ruins friendships. none of which anyone wants.

now, i’ll be the first to admit that you can’t help how you feel. i am a textbook example of the heart never contacting the brain…EVER. but sometimes, you have to look at things realistically and see that letting your feelings get in the way can cause major problems. i mean, there are things that i want, but know are impossible for me to have and if i pursued those things, i would be minus some friends right now. but never, would i ever pretend to be someone’s friend just because i perceived them as a threat to what i want. nor would i offer ‘helpful’ advice to remove them from the situation so i would have better access to what i want.

girls are so petty and ridiculous sometimes. and people wonder why my best friends are guys.
