i was just standing in the bathroom, being all narcissistic and all, when i got to thinking about life and situations and such. deep stuff. i was just remembering this one time, this year, i'm not sure how long ago it was. but we were coming home from church and my parents got in a huge argument. i don't even remember what it was about. but it was horrible. they were screaming and yelling and such for hours. i don't think it even calmed down until the next day. anyway, at one point, one of the suggested getting a divorce. brent and i heard it, of course. how could we not? i was scared. i mean, my parents have been married for 25 years! actually, i think more. i told josh about it. i was scared beyond belief. i didn't actually think it would happen, but just the idea that it was possible had me too worried to do anything else. nothing ever came of it. my parents solved their problem. they didn't even have to go to counseling. a lot of things were said that should have been said a long time ago, and i think it was just a relief for everything for them to finally get out in the air. so what does this have to do with life and situations and such? well, i was wondering what it would have been like if they had gotten a divorce. i would have been bitter, no doubt. 25 years of their life, wasted! so many other people's parents are divorced. i think i depend on my parents to stay together. if they don't, i'd lose faith in the concept of ever finding that one true love, the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. how horrible would that be? if my parents weren't together, it'd be like suddenly realizing that this will never end - this feeling that no one will ever accept you for who you truly are, that anyone besides your parents could ever love you unconditionally.
