Melius Frangi Quam Flecti

Have you ever heard the proverb " It is better to break than to bend?"

Heavy stress can cause one to change...
Whether its the way the person acts, the way their thinking process functions or even the slightest change i.e. a different hairstyle, speech, or attitude.
People change sometimes for the better under stress...

Logic goes out the window and instinct dictate your next move.

The calm, civilized "you", abscond and the harsh, primal "you" makes his presence known almost always immediately.

In my case I like my "someone else." He doesn't give in as much as I normally would. He's here, now... writing furiously. The stress of "almost coming home" is keeping me edgy... Kinda like a boring movie that won't end. Point being, It Sucks, a shitload.

With him life seems easier. I'm carefree, and I revert back to the basic things in life. Unfortunately, even my "badass" has his breaking point, And its not pretty. He's gotten me into alot of trouble before. He has his weak point with leads him to snap. The woman we love. My wife...

A group of individuals once tried to separate us. Let's just say after that particular incident, I no longer wanted to see that side of me ever again. But like I said, Stress will cause someone to change, willingly or not.

Ive been able to keep myself together for about five months now... I don't know how much longer I can hold out.

So "Is it better to break than to bend?"

Only if I don't shatter...
