  • it's funny how two different people can see the same exact situation in two completely different ways. i mean, forgive the elementary thoughts - i know for some this is basic and very old news... but, it just never ceases to amaze me how divergent people's points of view can be when looking at or being involved in the same situation, together.

    if i think about why the most recent relationship i was in ended, or even if i look at the past three... okay, if i look at every relationship i've ever been in and why it ended, i would be willing to bet money on the fact that me and the ex would cite very different reasons for why things didn't work out. and mostly, it would probably always be my fault, in their eyes. but the thing is, i'm always willing to be accountable for what i did wrong and what i could have done differently. i accept blame really easily when something is my fault. if i'm wrong, i can say that i was wrong, change gears and get right. but when the other person can't do the same... it's a bit tough to reconcile and come to any kind of consensus over what the truth is and what the truth isn't.

    just fascinating.
