Q: Hope this session is covered by HMO or PPO, here goes:
I am so sick of the FB statuses being all about the boyfriend. Its like, who can sound the STUPIDEST (I know that’s NOT a word, but I’m trying to make a point). What is a FB friend to do when her FB friends are CONSTANTLY TRYING TO CONVINCE ALL THEIR FB FRIENDS they’re so in love? Truth is, seems like everybody but the STUPIDEST people knows that its not going to last. That said, do I hide them or delete them? -NOT CONVINCED
A: Oh hey there, NOT CONVINCED. I’m gonna break it to you—I’m not convinced you have a soul. Why are you so down on love? I’m sensing a deeper issue here. Are you recently/permanently single and not looking to mingle? Are you taking a dip in the jealous sea? Sure you can hide and delete your friends’ happiness on Facebook, but you can’t hide or delete all of the love that exists in this world, Dr. Evil. Have you not seen the critically acclaimed major motion picture ‘Love, Actually?’ It teaches us that ‘love is everywhere’ and that’s the truth whether you like it or not.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m disgusted by Facebook updates like ‘I luv u baby!’ and ‘jus chillen wit mah boo.’ And yes, most of those ‘relationships’ will be over before you finish reading this post, but that doesn’t mean it’s your place to get involved. Speaking your mind on who your friends choose to bone is how hos get beat down in these streets, and I’d hate to see a beat-down happen to you. Go ahead and click ‘hide’ if all the amore on your mini-feed is truly making you sick, but you can’t hide from Love forever. It’s like the rhythm—eventually, it is going to get you. So open up the door to your rusted chest cavity, give that piece of coal you call a heart a little thump, and get thee to the nearest Happy Hour where you will (fingers crossed) find someone to love you. Next thing you know, you’ll be the one shouting ‘I LUV U BOO BOO!!!!!!’ to some low-life from the rooftops of your status.
LOVE (accept it),
Lauren
