Emotionally-Triggered

"You, the attached man, must deal with exorbitant restaurant menus, overpriced stalks of roses and the critical, sweeping eye of your significant other as she surveys other couples, mentally comparing her night with the others around her. That’s if you can snag a reservation in the restaurant of your choice in the first place. If you’re reading this and still haven’t booked a table in the best eateries in town, I’m afraid you might have to settle for oyster omelette from your friendly neighbourhood uncle, not that that’s a terrible option but your significant other is not likely to take it that way."

“The Plight of the Attached Man on Valentine’s Day”

I don’t really identify with Poached Magazine half the time just because I feel like it’s directed a totally different species to me but this article just makes me want to stick a big fat sticker all over it that says “TW: Gross Heteronormative Generalisations”

“Happy Valentine’s Day, and to all the attached women out there, please acknowledge the efforts of your significant others in making the day as special as it could be. Wear something red and lacy inside. That’s the best present you can give him.”

Icky icky ew ew NOPE

This has nice guy syndrome all over it. Also I think the word ‘plight’ is pushing it a bit (as in a lot)

Been practically almost 2 years since I -seriously- wrote anything of any value here.

Looking back at these short little uncompleted passages of mine, I wonder how many of those issues that plagued me back then had found -any- closure at all.

I don’t think these words will be surfacing anytime soon.

Yes, if anyone knew the entire context, the irony would be staggering.


But I do miss talking to you. I truly do.

The mind says no, but the heart says hell yes.

So how am I supposed to convince you when I cannot even convince myself it’s the right choice? 

Please. Trust me?

"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive."
