• You Are the Only Exception

  
  

  First: No, this is not a reference to the Paramore song. I do not listen to their music and actually thought it was Justin Bieber when I first heard it on the radio. I am actually kind of sad that the phrase is now associated with the song.

  Phew. Anyway. Since I have been home from college for the summer, I have been hanging out with a lot of friends. One of my best friends is a guy. A lot of people who know about me and about him are often surprised to find out that we are best friends, even though we've been best friends since middle school. They are surprised because I am the "nice girl" and he is the "bad guy."

  People often ask me, "What's a nice girl like you doing hanging out with a bad guy like that?"

  Well, actually, I don't know. For me, he has never been the "bad guy." He's just been my best friend. And I have a hard time explaining that to people because they can't see me hanging out with someone who is like him, which I understand. I usually just tell them that they are only looking at how he presents himself and not who he really is.

  I think that a lot of people have someone like that in their lives. Someone who breaks their rules, but they love anyway. I don't know if it is because we love them so much that we make excuses or if it is because we simply love them a lot for the way they are. But I do understand that I love my best friend despite anything he does. For him, I will forgive the constant disappointment, heartbreak, and whatever else he does. No matter how much he may hurt me, I will love him. And that probably makes me foolish. Haha.

  So do you readers have someone like that in your life? Someone who breaks your rules and is your "only exception?" Do you think it makes you a fool who is taken advantage of?
