Now, for future reference: I don't eavesdrop. I am not a stalker. But I'm always watching, always listening, and occasionally I hear something interesting. The people in question knew perfectly well I was there and that I could hear every word I was saying. However, people seem to naturally ignore me. So if I ever tell a story about some people I randomly overheard, please remember this is entirely coincidental. I am not a stalker. Are we clear? Thank you.
Anyway. These two girls were talking about one of their friends. She, evidently, was seeing someone a year younger than her who was not only an arrogant arsehole but also only in it for the "bow chica wow wow". Both expressed their concerns that she was going to get screwed over, so they agreed to set her up with a really nice guy they knew.
Okay, quick question: WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!? Sorry for the caps, that just had to be said.
First and foremost: What are these fifteen-year olds doing screwing each other? How have we stepped so far backwards? I must do a rant about this sometime.
Another thing: Why is the assumption that the relationship isn't important? I thoroughly despise the idea of trophy girlfriends, yet in this day and age it seems to be the only idea we have. Are relationships all about sex? Are they? You tell me.
Honestly, if she's with him it's because she chose him, isn't it? If he's a stupid person then she made a stupid choice, and if she made a stupid choice then well they deserve each other, don't they?
One more. Are people cattle? What gives these two the right to set someone up with someone else just because they're not happy about it? She chose him. Is that not enough? And this other guy. They're convinced that she deserves better, that he's good enough for her. If she's the sort who chooses lust-driven arseholes as boyfriends... maybe he deserves better than her?
Maybe I should have said something. But then, nothing would have changed. I'm just the observer.
Do you notice nobody ever says "love" anymore? It's all about "liking" someone, which, and let's be honest here, doesn't mean anything. No one knows what love is anymore. Really, it's astonishing that people can find lasting relationships at all anymore.
And, because I'm still experimenting, here's a picture:
