I know what you're thinking. Hey...that sounds like a Westlife song. Yes. It is indeed. Okay no it isn't. It's actually a Backstreet Boys song. More specifically 'I promise you,' which I somehow thought was Westlife's "Swear it again."
Not that either of songs really illustrate much significance. Exactly. But although, it does seem like a lot of people I've been talking to lately, friends and otherwise - are going through a breakup and that song/those songs just filled my head.

Ironically since I was in high school I always thought that summertime is the PERFECT time for any relationship, in fact, a time that I wish I had a relationship because it meant that it wouldn't have that much influence on other aspects of my life - more specifically, school.

(At least in my opinion, although, it doesn't mean that I was able to always hold that outlook - thus the summer thing). Because let's face it, being in a relationship with someone or even just being interested in someone is an emotional experience.
It is distracting and thus, makes it a lot harder to focus on anything else sometimes. As for myself. I am single. (Man, that sounds like a disease sometimes) so I've been unfortunate enough to experience the "better to have loved than lost" scenario right now.
I have been thinking about relationships and - and I don't know. All of this "ending" makes everything seem so difficult and absolute. Kind of scary...kind of. I mean really makes
