As one of the millennial generations that experienced the transition from analog to digital, from the undying unconditional love stories to the fast food meat joint dating app, and from enjoying the heart-melting-wicked dating days to the "are we gonna do this or not?" on the first date encounters. Then one of the facts, is that are most of us either a divorcee, a widower, or just in plain bad luck in a failed relationship series that seems hard to dodge.
Nobody is getting any younger these days, and I can say that we're still walking or running in the same circle over and over again. Like one wise man who told me: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." So... are we all insane, but hesitant to admit it? Or are we, subconsciously, changing the direction and the definition of insanity itself? Simply like, we normalize it.
"Can you come around?
Fuck me nice
Pull my hair
Sing me lullabies
"When you come around
I'll wear red
I'll forget all the awful things you've ever said
Though we can pretend that we're in love
We can pretend that we're in love"
I can say that to some extent when we hit our lowest point of self-esteem, we can do unreasonable, unbearable, and unbelievable things like forgetting the awful things that men/women (you choose your side) do for the sake of sexual encounters, or cuddle time-leads-to-sex-anyway-time. Because deep down inside our body just needs that skin-to-skin connection from other human beings. Our bodies (and in some cases, souls, yeah I know, I typed that, fuck off) crave that, but we often translate it as the need for sex.
And that tips me over the edge
You throw my phone out the window
The next thing thе neighbor said she's calling the fеds
And I wish you were dead
For a sec
I wish you were dead
