Considering a revival

I was asked recently, how come your blog isn't updated?  I didn't have much of a reason except that I've lost the will to blog.  After thinking about it a few more times, I figured maybe, I'll try again.   It was always nice outlet.  So without further adieu...

Considering bringing this piece back has caused a lot of reflections, reflections on what I used to blog about and its impact on others.  People used to regularly read and assume, judge.  I used to blog about daily life, in my mind, describing it in such boring ways.  I used to talk about people and things we'd go through without using names (unfortunately that never proved to be worthwhile as I was never good at hiding my feelings).  People used to go to my archive and read my previous, younger years.  I used to recap, plan and provide my philosophical feelings on yesterday, today and tomorrow.

I guess what I'm saying is, I'm hoping things are going to be different now.  I'm hoping I can bring more to the table and get more out of this so I can continue.  I do not want to set the wrong expectation though, this may not last.  And I won't feel bad one way or another.

What I would like to discuss today is the concessions we make for those that we love.  I recently spoke with a good friend to find out this person's relationship that is now in shambles.  This person has made so many concessions in their relationship that they now find it has gone so fair that it is likely to end.  How is it that we allow ourselves to get to this place with those we love.  They say love is blind... that love knows no boundaries... love is patient... love is kind, etc.  Of all the things we hear about, we don't hear that love is ever logical or rational.  I suppose those things that are logical are not usually very exciting.  Going back to my friend's shambles, I hope I don't get this way but I think that's very unfair to say.  It's unfair to assume I will be more intelligent.  It's unfair to assume, I will see when the concessions go too far.  And yet, we sit back and say, that's so sad and how can they continue their relationship.  Maybe it is because of love.  Maybe it is because people like companionship.  Or maybe simply because it's easier than breaking each others heart.  My thought doesn't go much further here except that I wish my friend well in the situation.  I wish them both well and that if it does end up ending, that they both find a better place and a better person that is on their team.  Because ultimately, the majority of us just want someone we can be a team with, someone that will love us with all of our faults and someone that will be loyal and above all, make us laugh.  That's not too much to ask right?
