"Honest To God, I Will Break Your Heart. Tear You To Pieces, And Rip You Apart."*

After thinking about it for a few hours today, I have come to the conclusion that people should come with health warnings, in the same way that alcohol, cigarettes and various other potentially life-threatening substances do. Imagine the time that could be saved if someone came with the label 'Will Screw You Over' already attached. I know, we should all believe in the exception and the idea that people can change, but let's be honest, how many times have you known that to happen? I'm pretty sure the answer will be small enough to count on one hand, if a number even exists. I sound ridiculously cynical right now, but a quote I heard on a TV show (Samantha Who?, in fact, which I always found rather entertaining, has stuck with me ever since I heard it for the first time):

"People cannot change. If people could change, would you be you?"

Personal opinion? Good point well made. Let's be honest: we all have things about us that we think we should change. Not physical changes, I'm talking about the person that we are at our very core, that thing that really cannot be changed with intent. There are too many outside factors for us to be able to decide how we are for us to be able to get involved and attempt to control it, and so we should just accept it, and let people know upfront about the intentions we have.

I think about a bag of peanuts, which I think carries the best health warning ever written: "May Contain Nuts". Then I think about someone who has the ability to make me feel like I'm flying and then crashing to the ground within two seconds, and I've decided that their particular health warning should read as follows: "May Contain The Inability To Make A Decision Or Give A Straight Answer, Followed By Potential To Break Your Heart."

Long, yes, but to the point.

* A quick explanation of the title: Ever since it's release, I have been far too obsessed with 30 Seconds to Mars' album, This Is War. A band I have loved for a very long time, I was extremely impressed with the songs and decided that it had definitely been worth the wait. As much as I loved 'A Beautiful Lie', there was something about the new album that just took my breath away. Most of the tracks have hit the 'Most Played' list on my Zen and it is almost always on in the background as I revise. Seeing them live without a doubt made my year, and not just because I was two inches from Jared Leto as he ran through the crowd singing 'The Kill'. The lyrics on the album are simply incredible, especially those from 'Night Of The Hunter' which I have used as my title. They sum up my feelings right now perfectly.
