jar of hearts

so heres a post to all those guys who really need to get a life ;)

i personally cant stand when guys are jerks. they can reel you in to the point of no return and you just cant get out of their tightly knit web.

boys think they are smart, when they 'turn on the charm' and lead an innocent girl on like crazy. she will fall in love at the witty remarks, light comedy and cute little names that a boy makes for her. she will go and tell all her friends how great he is and how much she wants to be with him because he is so different from the rest, but really she has no idea whats going to happen next.

i, personally, have been in very similar situations as this, when i am only the age of 18. guys start their little deceptions at a young age and its frightening.

also, guys think, because of what the media tells them, they are allowed to treat girls however they want. There are songs out there by artists like Enrique Iglasias and Pitbull, in mainstream music, where the theme of the song is about a girl with whom they would like to have... coitus (for lack of a better form of the term). . . (you can figure out what it means later)

then there are other times where girls see things in the media which can be taken as positive. like hopeless romantic men or guys who write songs like Bruno Mars. girls think 'i want a guy that is romantic because he will love me forever'. thats not exactly how it works. there arent any real Ted Mosby's out there. (god, i wish there were...).

now i feel kind of bad for picking on just the guys, when girls can be extremely rude aswell. they can be extremely nice to a guy, just to be nice to him. he ends up falling for her when she has no idea he even likes her. I mean, girls are a little nicer about it and they sometimes never know when its happening.

there are also times where, it doesnt matter male or female, we lead someone on, break their heart and then come right back when we feel we need their company and an ego boost again. its most horrible when that person falls for it a second time. "fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me." but really, the person doing the fooling is just being a complete ass!

So we know that everyone can sometimes be a jerk when they either dont mean to or when they really want to. there is a great episode of my favourite tv show "How I Met Your Mother" where Ted (josh radnor) is being strung along by his current fling named Tiffany (carrie underwood). this is a term the group likes to call "the hook" . it turns out that Ted is guilty of 'hooking' another individual named Henrietta. but it doesnt stop there. Tiffany is on some other guys hook, and there is a poor guy out there on Henrietta's hook. It shows that one-sided love is just a viscious circle and people can be incredibly self-centered when it comes who they love and who loves them.

to finish off, there is a particular song that i enjoy called 'jar of hearts' by christina perri.

who do you think you are

runnin' round leaving scars

collecting your jar of hearts

and tearing love apart.

youre gonna catch a cold

from the ice inside your soul

so dont come back for me

dont come back at all...

see you on the other side. xo
