Assumptions.

I could be so wrong.

It’s like you go to the movies with your friends and you just assume they don’t like horror movies or comedy because they happen to call one of them out as really bad, so you guys end up seeing the wrong film. Or you start calling people fake for ‘pretending to dislike a band when they love them’ just because one happens to say ‘that track by so-and-so kind of sucks’ but never managed to get out that the rest of so-and-so’s material is actually good, because you and your pretension has cut into the conversation to denounce that person.

Very trivial, I know, and I am also aware I tend to overthink things. But I saw this today and it just got me so angry:

RT @DamnItsTrue Stages of a relationship = :) :D :P ;) <3 ;P xD :| :/ :S :( :’( </3 #DamnItsTrue

I don’t follow that sorry excuse of a twitter account just because I’ve seen those generalised tweets of theirs. Trying to make people feel they’re not alone? Well, why the hell not just generalise the damn world along with it? Of course it has to.

Blah blah, everything has a generalisation but fuck. that. explanation. Especially with something as complicated as a human relationship. Such things aren’t as black and white as that tweet. Not everybody is Taylor fucking Swift okay.

And this is what the account describes itself as:

Facts that are relevant to your daily life, since April 21, 2010.

Um, yeah. Hardly.

Every girl wishes a boy would dedicate the song “Just The Way You Are” by Bruno Mars to them. #DamnItsTrue

Okay this is probably because I really don’t like Bruno Mars but lulz if that’s even true.

Heart Break is more popular disease than Heart Attack.#DamnItsTrue

Going to be a smartass and say that heartbreak is NOT a disease. Stop attempting poetry because it does not work in your case, love.

Whats LOVE? In math: A problem. In history: A war. In chemistry: A reaction. In art: A heart. In me: You. #DamnItsTrue

…WHO WRITES THIS SHIT. SERIOUSLY.

Friends = Crayons. Color my life! #DamnItsTrue

Are you five?

I’m not going to find anymore. Not everything on that twitter account is utter bullshit, but really, all the tweets pertaining to ‘knowing about love and heartbreak’ are rubbish. Why do we treat love the way we do? It’s because of the way we see it. People copy things from TV and film, people take all that too seriously. In the end, what a genuine relationship is it’s hard to find out. That raw energy and passion that actually makes someone so free in their skin next to this other person they love dearly… you can’t fake it. And you sure as hell can’t give people advice on it, because it is a deeply personal experience on its own. Some bits may be the same, but the overall experience would and should be different.
