-
you ever have one of those thoughts that air riel and true, but feel weird.
-
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.
