Slightly Sticky




So you're in a bit of a sticky situation.

You're head over heels about a guy whose idea of a delightful night consists of mucking about bare foot in the foyer under the stars while attempting to dance salsa and then curling up together on the couch, eating home-made burgers and paying close attention to a Lakers match.

Then one night just as you're about to go to bed, you're IM'd by a friendly stranger and for some strange reason you actually stay up and entertain the rather amusing tales of this 'anybody', completely ignoring the one advise your mother spent years drilling into you; "NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS!" - and for what? Chemistry!! or so he claims.



And if priorities weren't such a kill joy, you'd probably still be enjoying homemade burgers and watching Lakers matches under the stars but instead you spend more time with this 'anybody', trying to figure out why his strangeness is somewhat...appealing.


Here's where it gets better. Although you're deeply and madly in love with Mr.Simplicity; one who gives you an adrenaline rush as if you were riding a really fast and frightening roller coaster in the dark that just thinking about it sends a jolt of electrcity down your spine,the feeling with Mr.Anybody is also one for the books. 


Mr.Anybody takes you back to that feeling  you felt the very first time you listened to your favourite song, or the first time you tried the worlds best chocolate...the kinda feeling where you can actually remember the exact moment right down to the finer details; time, date, what the weather was like and what you wore. And to some extent even the scent of his cologne.


So now what do you do? Should you stick to Mr. Simplicity and kinda see where things might end up....or should you just go with the flow and live slightly over the edge and have fun with Mr. Anybody? They're both wild, they're both fun and they're both very unpredictable.

Dear Zombie,

Though excitement and adrenaline is appealing - like when you get off a roller-coaster you were so afraid to get on at first - you wanna go again, and again. Or like CLIFF diving (sound familiar?). You know that:
1. If you go on the same roller-coaster enough times, you would eventually get bored and the adrenaline rush would wear off.
2. Roller-coasters breakdown at times, and if you happen to be riding on one at a time when it is broken, you'd be thrown off and would die, or injure your spine, or brain and end up a vegetable. Personally, I would rather have the former (that is, I would rather die).
3. You can't ride roller-coasters forever (obviously).

Get how I so cleverly related roller-coasters to your real life situation? (heheh. *ehhem)

1. They (both Mr. Simple and Mr. JACKASS) can't excite you forever, the excitement would eventually and most definitely wear off in time.
2. If they happen to be broken (especially like how Mr. JACKASS so clearly is - please excuse my french, I reeeallly don't like him! ) you would end up dead, or veggie-like, emotionally that is. You DON'T want to be an emotional veg, trust me!
3. ...actually 3 doesn't relate. Haha.

But anyway, babe, what you need is not a rollercoaster ride. What you need is love. And, "Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds" - Shakespeare. You need someone that loves you for the beauty that you are inside and out, in every season, and who will love you even when you throw shit at him.
He's out there...you need to wait for him because he's waiting for you. True Love Waits. Don't waste your time and heart-space on those that is only in it for the good-times.

Hope this helps! You deserve the absolute BEST, so don't let anyone tell you, or make you believe differently!

Love,
ThelmaYvonne
