You heard it here first. Love advice from a crackhead at midnight. I was walking my doggie and this crackhead couple, going through a rocky patch, came walking down the street in the midst of a lover's tiff. I'm so fascinated by this. Crackhead relationship dynamics that is. That fact that people who I presume have trust issues, some of it reasonably earned, can be in relationships while I am totally inept in my romantic endeavors never ceases to amaze me. I mean I would like to believe that if I were a crackhead I would want to hang out with maybe say a heroin addict. Why have some mooch with you to smoke all your shit, right?! Am I right? But maybe there's a lesson to be learned from this. Maybe we should all be with people who have similiar life goals, shared desires, and dreams. Also I guess its comforting to be with someone who kind of has seen you at your worse, and is still rolling with it. This writer on Nerve wrote about friends vs. lovers that "part of snagging a man means pretending to be perfect until he falls in love with you, whereupon you reveal yourself to be the asshole that you really are. There are few things more satisfying than being with people who know you're a giant asshole, but love you anyway." So yeah maybe we should all do some serious self reflection about our worst qualities and find a mirror of that in someone else. Brilliant isn't it!
