Trust

I am constantly told that not trusting anyone is wrong, but in my eyes I never get hurt so how can that be classified as “wrong”? I am content finding confidence in myself and not relying on people for my happiness. When you are enjoying someone’s company, you are sharing your own individual happiness, which is what makes the connection. You are your own person and your independence shared with another is what makes a true healthy relationship. What happens when you are abandoned, dumped, or even screwed over by someone who you gave all your trust to? It hurts. But if you never fully told them you trusted them with all your heart then you somewhat convince yourself that you didn’t need them and it doesn’t take as long to get over the person. I’m not saying it doesn’t take time but when you realize that that person was just a part of your life not your whole life, you begin to realize that void can eventually be filled. Whether it’s a best friend or boyfriend who loves you dearly, everyone is in it for themselves. As harsh as that sounds, it’s the truth in this world. Now I’m not saying I don’t trust people with certain things, I mean I trust my friends to stand up for me, and I trust my boyfriend to be there when times get tough. However, I don’t trust that either of them would die for me. Once you find someone that would risk his or her own life for yours then you can call me out and say that trusting someone is possible. (This does not go for parents; of course we can trust our own mother and father). I’m sorry if this sounded cynical, just at this point in college I’m starting to see what other people can do to another for their own selfish desires.

Yes I am girl, and I have a Batman fetish

Batman is hands down the greatest superhero ever thought up, mainly because he is not a superhero at all. He is a normal man, who has combined training, resources, and incorruptible morals to become the ultimate hero. Bruce Wayne, Batman’s alter ego, is an unbelievably wealthy, young man that inherited his fortune from his father’s company Wayne Enterprises. His father’s company is an applied science division, which allows Batman to obtain all of his weapons, armor, and other necessary gadgets. As far as Batman’s training goes, it is unclear where and how he received his early martial arts training. In Batman’s pursuit of truly understanding the criminal mind, he is put into a Bhutanese prison where he is found by Henri Ducard. Ducard offers Bruce an opportunity to truly find himself. Ducard turns out to be the leader of a group called the League of Shadows, a group that rids cities of their evil by destroying the city all together. It is at the training spot for the League of Shadows that Bruce Wayne is trained in Ninjutsu, the art of the Ninja. When Bruce is tested by Ducard to end the life of a criminal peasant, he cannot follow through. Bruce then proceeds to kill Ra’s al Ghul, the fake leader of the League of Shadows. In this battle, the training center is destroyed, and Bruce saves the life of Henri Ducard. Bruce leaves him unconscious with a peasant and leaves to go back to Gotham. On his plane flight with Alfred, his butler, he decides that he needs to become more than a man in order to purge his city of Gotham from it’s injustice. After research and acquiring the necessary resources, Bruce decides to make his hero encompass what he fears most, a bat. Through his training, knowledge, and resources, Batman is born.

I love you?

Since the word love is misused all the time, how are we supposed to know when someone really means it? Is it in their eyes? Is it heard in the tone of their voice? Or is it seen in their body language? Even if these characteristics give away the truth, to some it may not feel special anymore. The fact that even as college students we overuse this word, it has started to take away the true meaning. At least for me it has. It’s hard to believe that after spending one night with me a girl can say, “ Oh my God you’re totally my best friend I love you”. Love doesn’t just cover the romantic side for there is the bond between friendships that can define love as well. But if you hear a person throw the word out to anyone he or she is with, how can you distinguish between the truth and the lies? What happens when you really like someone and you want that four letter word to come at a special time but instead it slips out in a sentence like “ id still love you if you were fat”? There may be different meanings to the word love that I am just unaware of, but when I hear love I no longer classify it as something meaningful. This may be dramatic but seriously why has all the emotion from this word drained out like the bottom of a swimming pool? I believe it has to do with the present generation of teens that has completely eradicated the passion love is supposed to generate between two human beings. Its’ not the teenagers fault that they overuse love, but that media allows everything to be so accessible these days that nothing has a special meaning. This generation is constantly exposed to love as being something sexual and physical it’s hard for teens to see it as a sentimental feeling. Paris Hiltons’ famous saying, “Loves it” has caused people to mock Paris, and the word love is just being thrown all around in the wrong way. I guess the point I’m trying to reach is how do we know when to take the word love seriously? Maybe people don't really understand the meaning till they go through it, or until they loose it, but it should never be left that late. The ideal situation would be for people to just not say something unless they really mean it, or understand why they are saying it. Is that impossible because we aren't perfect, am i asking too much?
