Shelf Life

As I was going through my pantry today looking for things to throw away, I noticed something that reminded me a lot of relationships. Shelf Life. Shelf life according to Wikipedia, is the length of time that food, drink, medicine and other perishable items are given before they are considered unsuitable for sale or consumption. Relationships are the same way. How long does it take for a relationship to go sour? What does it take for it to go bad? Food has different factors and elements that help decompose it. In relationships, there are also several in mind: disloyalty, dishonesty, selfishness, mistrust, self-centeredness, phoniness.(Don’t you wish you can find a friend with a “best before” sign on his/her forehead?) The list goes on and on and different situations can be applied. In mine, however, I’ve asked myself plenty of times “Am I Crazy?” (Is this a sequel to my previous blog?) Is it really ME as I’ve been told? If that was true, then how come I’m able to keep friends with “preservatives”, meaning long-lasting without a shelf life? How come I have friends who have been my friends since childhood, highschool, college, work, etc? So is it really me? Just because you are affected by my words and my writing, does not constitute me as a bad friend/person. My blogs don’t total my actual being and what I’ve done with you and for you as a friend. You, however, who have been affected, are affected, and/or will be affected by my blogs should ask yourself this: “Have I done something wrong?” The answer is YES, my friend. And in total honesty, it’s ok for me to write about how I feel. It’s either your face or this blog…pick one. So I guess it’s safe for you to assume that I’m not gonna stop writing how I feel. Whether it stings or not; Whether you agree or not; Whether you believe or not. These blogs are mine. These blogs are for me and my sanity. YOU chose to read it. And so my friends, good luck with finding REAL people who you can call friends. REAL people you can trust and REAL people who DON’T have a shelf life.
