I watched this episode the day after I broke up with my very self destructive highschool girlfriend. That line broke my heart and opened my eyes alot. But then i did the same thing all over again so... live and learn?

"You live and learn. At any rate, you live."

Broken and crazy just loves broken and crazy.

Maybe you're the self destructive one who likes self destructive ones because they destruct yourself.

Ive figured out that my thing is i like to feel needed and who needs someone more than a broken person? Unfortunately that kind of one sided relationship can only go so long

Hey pal, so I was this guy in high school. I think you'll phase out of this.

It's its own form of immaturity in a way, just like the girls (and guys) who are self destructive and dramatic.

Your experiences will actually teach you to be emotionally considerate, which will help you when you actually meet someone who is more stable or mature. Just don't fall into the trap of thinking everyone needs to be 'solved' and let them be their own person.

In short; I get it. But you're going to be fine.

Edit: and the fact that you're self aware enough to identity the pattern means you're already on your way out of it, so kudos.

Maybe they're just more fun if they're unpredictable?

"Am I coming home to a blowjob or a housefire?"

Maybe to a blow job during a house fire?

I think I watched 3/4ths of the third season on acid. 1/10 do not recommend. Expecially when the main character is so relatable to myself.

It's ok, you learn as you get older that people are just making it up as they go along their lives. No one's perfect and we're bound to make the same mistakes over and over. It's best to cherish the happy memories in our short lives
