This is the kinda discourse I LOVE! <3
The Boulder Theory
I sometimes wonder (just me musing out loud) if the reason some have to “work for it” vs. others that don’t could be something related to the factors stacked against them–I.e. all those terrible “get my ex back” posts that are scattered across the internet.
You have the boulder that, from gravity, wants to “fall”–your ex doesn’t want you back and the misc. factors that led to the breakup.
You’re trying to keep the boulder from falling to where it naturally wants to go, so depending on how heavy that boulder is, you may be smacking a rock or making like Sisyphus.
I also have some belief that there are certain things that just can’t happen. I haven’t entirely combed through this idea yet, as it’s tied to an idea I’m exploring in an almost-thesis-type form… I may inadvertently prove my hypothesis wrong, but just throwing it out there.
I use the “get my ex back” examples because they are so easy to pick apart–I realize these same hypotheses may or may not hold water in other areas…
EDIT:
Literally Me
