I don't believe you

Relationships.

The inevitable blog post discussing quite a controversial topic indeed.

Relationships.

The friend, the teacher, the boyfriend, the girlfriend. The parent, the counselor, the acquaintance, the idol.

For some reason, there are four listed above that are uncannily misused too often.

THE FRIEND:

The one who eats your food without asking, the one who sees you without asking, the one who listens to you without asking.

Give or take, that also applies to

THE GIRL-BOY-FRIEND:

Typically the "significant other", the "one", your true knight in shining armor (or tin foil), the girl of your dreams (or fantasies), your hubby (or tubby), your baby (or literally?!?!), the one person you are allowed to kiss on the lips because in today's society, doing so to anyone else is cheating or possibly homosexual.

Or rather, if you enjoy screwing life around, your player, your slut, your whore, your jock, your boobs, your social status, your game, your self-esteem.

THE ACQUAINTENCE:

The one you ask for math help, the one you partner up with because you are a dork without a partner, the one who tells you everything you really don't care about.

THE IDOL:

The one you admire and follow with your mind and eyes, the one who doesn't know you but you even know their fax number, the one you cheer for simply because you love them.

Now toss out your brain and put your heart next to each of these and determine who or what you really are.
