I know.

I have a question.

Yeah, Mom.

Okay, so when I playing the game, Woe e came out of there.

That's crazy.

My mom's like a three d printer.

A friend and I were recently having a conversation about a boy in her life.

And, you know, no matter how articulate, poised and intelligent you are, when you're excited for your friend, we all react the same.

A za conversation got deeper into the potential of a relationship with this guy.

We somehow came upon this thought.

You know, the best case scenario is you meet the perfect partner and then you die or he dies.

Because statistically, women are likely to live longer, and then you're forced to live out.

The rest of your life is totally alone.

Never able to rekindle that romance with anyone else.

I mean, sure, maybe you might meet someone else.

But how could that possibly live up to the life of friendship, love and connection with the one that you lost?

And you're just dead in the void?

The end, Yeah, that's the best case scenario.

And I know that seems depressing, but we found it oddly comforting because it suddenly takes a lot of the pressure off.

It's like a free pass to not take everything so seriously to alleviate yourself from some suffering, and it just gives yourself permission to enjoy the moment.

But then again, we're a very unique because our friendship motto is we all die and nothing matters.

So if you're like me and I've spent the majority of your life placing a priority on love and finding a partner, which I think is like 99% of us to be fair, just remember, the best case scenario still ends the same way as the worst case scenario.

You die alone, so I'm gonna make it more of a priority to just try and connect with people in the moment, toe have fun and to deepen my friendships with the people who inspire me.

And then some day, if I'm lucky, I am a 30 e a minute.

Bring life into this world.

I'm Anna Icona.
