Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

APRIL 12 2010 2045 - JACKSONVILLE FL - Just sitting here, entertaining a few random thoughts, honestly about nothing in particular.

Why is breaking up so hard to do? Really, I mean have you ever taken a moment to really think about it? The hardest word to say in the entire english language I appears to be the word goodbye.

People put up fronts, yes even me, for I know that I have put up my share of fronts in life, and indeed I still put up fronts even to this day. For me, my fronts are walls of self imposed protection, kind of like a shield to safeguard me from harm. What harm? Perhaps the shield is to protect me from my own fears.

In truth, for many of us a break up amounts to nothing more than a failure, and failure is something that 80% of us fear. No one likes failure, indeed no one likes to admit that he or she has reached an end.

I think Neil Diamond said it best, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do. Funny, for it to be so difficult, so many people seem to get a big kick out of doing it, breaking up, that is. I do not expect breaking up will ever become easy.
