dear whomever this may concern,
not all guys are jerks. many of them are as sweet as cotton candy. it's not fair for you to stop believing in love because of one guy who broke your heart. yes, there are jerks out there, and if you keep up with the mentality that all guys are jerks, you'll become so preoccupied with jerks, you'll forget about the sweethearts who could be your best friend.
guys are a lot like flowers, you know. we walk past a field of daisies and can't help but start picking flowers along the way. sometimes, you pick a flower that has no roots. that can be compared to how you're picking guys. that flower dies - and fast. you can pick a flower that's gorgeous, but don't pick the roots. that's a hot guy who you really like, but once you get to know him, you realize he's not the nicest of the bunch. he has no roots, he's going to die too.
but then you mistakenly pick an flower with okay looking petals. it's a healthy flower, but it's not beautiful. you get the roots. this flower, this guy, is going to last a long time if you care for it, for him. he may not be supermodel hot, but he's got a personality like sunshine.
being in a relationship, whether its a friendship or a morethan friendship, with a flower, a guy, takes a lot of work. relationships need sunshine (happiness) water (life, or fullness of life) and soil (the groundwork - is this a friend from school? a sport?) but most importantly, that flower needs your affections, whether its holding hands or talking about the superbowl - and you hate football.
guys aren't jerks. for those who call all guys jerks, you really need to keep browsing that field of daisies. yes, we all run into our share of rootless flowers, but with patience and an open mind, you'll find some of the greatest guys that you can possibly find.
its worth it in the end.
love always,
someone who just sounded like a hippie
