Endings...

People are different (and also strange, according to the Doors) and react differently to similar situations. For me one of the most insightful dichotomies is how people deal with relationship break-ups.

There are some people that only remember the bad aspects and moments, or the times when the partner let you down. Either consciously (or most likely unconsciously) those people block all the good memories, the happy moments. This approach makes a clean and clear break-up much easier, and it usually lead to people drifting apart even as friends... after all, why would I want anything to do with THAT person?

Then there are those that once the relationship is over only remembers the good part of it, those lovely moments where everything made sense. All the small annoying details, the painful habits, all gone. Those are the ones that struggle to move on, and every now and then wonder "why did it end?...".

No matter on which side of the field you identify yourself with, it is always good to be aware - otherwise you may risk being either a sad person attached to these perfect ex-girlfriends, miserable cause you lost them, or a miserable person, unhappy about all those bastards (or bitches, pick your genre) that you have met and that wasted your time with bad relationships.

After all; life is not so black and white as our recollections and memories try to lead us to believe...
