A run through relationships

       Over the past week I had the chance to discover what relationships were like in the 1920's thanks to my man Fitzgerald (he was a pretty cool guy, a slight drunk but that's okay). What I found was quite...interesting. Almost 100 years later and the relationships I know now are almost identical copies of the ones I read about. "The guy had a lot of money so the girl fell in love with him", " He was an a--hole to her and she found that attractive so she fell in love with him", " She played him over and over again, so he fell for her even harder".

       I don't understand humans, I really don't. With each relationship I read about, either money, power, or pain was involved and it seems to be the same way today. Now i'm not saying ALL relationships are like this but most of the ones I know are. Kinda depressing. Just recently, my friend broke up with his girlfriend of two years and a week later she asked when they could date again and be a couple once more. This scenario reminds me of a part from "Winter Dreams" by my dead, drunkard friend, Fitzgerald (I recommend reading this short story, very fascinating). "I like the way you love me. Oh Dexter...I wish we could be like that again," (Winter Dreams, 7). BAsically, a guy falls in love with a girl who cheats on him multiple times and then disappears, then returns to him after a long time and says the above quote. I dunno, the whole I know we are broken up but we should get back together thing just seemed too similar between these two accounts of a faulty relationship.
 
       I'm not too sure where I wanted to go with this post, it's been a rough week and I wrote this while half-awake. I guess the point of this whole exploration is that, history really does repeat itself. If even little things such as relationships are still being copied like they were 100 years ago, what's to say that wars and other tragedies won't be. Guess we better watch out, nobody wants a dead heart.
