pressure

I really hate movies where the solution to the girl's relationship troubles is that the guy is afraid to fall in love. that feelings scare him. I mean, what the fuck is that? since when does love work that way. "I want to be with you but I'm scared." I understand that part, mostly. rejection is a terrible prospect, especially when it's someone you really and truly love.

but why is the solution to just stop giving a shit?

what? wait, what? who made that okay? "I can't stand all the pain, so now I just don't let it affect me." bullshit. "I just don't care anymore." no no no no no no why? is indifference a better state of being? you can't just adopt indifference as the answer, and you can't call sadness a useless emotion just because crying will slow you down.

people don't cry because they're sad. they cry because they're frustrated. you know what's frustrating? bottling shit up. "numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it." oh, how cheesy, blah blah blah, I don't even feel pain because I'm so strong.

no, you're stupid. robots are boring. robots aren't people. don't become alcoholic and promiscuous to push all those feelings down, because you're just so casual and you just don't- shut up! I want you to care! I want you to admit that you're angry when you're angry and you're happy when you're around her, is that too much to ask?
