It so strange, but it's like suddenly, all my friends have been hit with a 'relationship-epidemic' I mean forget the swain flu, this epidemic is snatching them in unmerciful numbers.
But seriously, the scariest thing about all this, is that when I was visiting my friend, it seemed like she was a totally different person. She and her boyfriend were holding hands as though they couldn't even breathe without each other. I mean; they had been together for almost 8months, and I mean literally seen and been together 24/7 for 8 months! Anyway, these are two of my former classmates, who also formerly used to be two separate and independent human beings. But unfortunately due to the epidemic, have now developed many symptoms, for example the excessive use of such sentences as 'we that' and 'we this'.
Members of the jury, you must understand that my childish outburst is a consequence of something stronger and darker than common pettiness and jealousy, these are all fruits of the big D,..Depression. I feel as though it’s also important to keep in mind that prior to these events; I was perfectly fine with my life, with my so called 'oneness'. I will however not rule out the fact that this could clearly be due to the fact that my 'oneness' was only endurable because of my fellow friends, who also shared in this now so uncommon status. I fear they have all deserted me for the more glamorized 'togetherness' status. It's kind of like that Simpsons episode where Bart sells his soul, and suddenly he could see all the other kids having so much fun with their souls and how much harder life was for him now that he was all alone, something he hadn't even noticed before.
Basically it's junior high prom all over again; you and all your girl friends are sitting at the bench watching the other couples dancing, and commenting on this and that, when suddenly one by one, they get asked to dance and before you know it, there you are; Little you with your ridiculously over accessorized dress, sitting there all alone, trying so hard not to look bothered, because just a few minutes ago you didn't mind sitting on the bench, but now that you are there all alone, and noticing that even greasy Alice the farter with all the questionable facial hair is also getting her groove on with Tommy the nose licker,..well.. it then becomes a bit hard to hold back the tears now doesn't it?
I haven’t resolved to crying yet, honestly, I only believe in such therapy as watching Bridget Jones' Diary and blogging about my problems,oh, and forming 'relationship-hate' groups who wait outside cinemas every Sundays and attack random couples.. haha i'm kidding, here at well here.. we don't condone violence...just happy slapping. Lmao but seriously, it's just a bit sad you know,.. I mean I enjoy being single as the next person but I’m just not into the in your face constant reminder, forcing me to comfort myself with such nonsense as 'Well at least I don't have to share my Twix bars'
What about you guys? What are your feelings on this unavoidable epidemic?
