I'll love you 5ever baby

Coz 4ever isnt long nuff!!!! <3333333 :)))))))

Oh yes. Annoying couples.

So i was out today with a friend and we were discussing how annoying couples can get sometimes. We mostly had this discussion because we're both single and pretty much anti-relationships. I don't do relationships. I can't do relationships. More on that in some other post. For now - ANNOYING HABITS WHICH PEOPLE IN A RELATIONSHIP HAVE. You might want to skip this one if you're dating someone or if you are like really pro relationships and stuff. This isn't all in good humour. It's pretty damn honest to be honest. So let's get into it, shall we?

When a friend gets into a relationship they totally want you to meet their adorable "other-half" and you agree because you are really happy and excited for your friend! So you go to meet them and then they start telling you every tiny detail of how they proposed and how it all happened and shizz.
"...so then he like put his hand on my shoulder and i totally freaked out! And then he said i love you at exactly 3:05:07!" "Daaaaaaawww! You missed what millisecond it was?! Now that is just so sad!" :(
NOT.
This is like Ted Mosby sitting his kids down to tell them the sweet and short story of how he met their mother and then finishing it off in NINE effing seasons! I'm not up for it. And no it's not a good campfire story so stop repeating it. Please.
Yeah! I get it! You're really excited and in love but spare me what nail paint she had on and the angle his hair was falling on his forehead!

Then in the new relationship phase, they totally want to spend every minute with each other and well it's alright whatever makes them happy right? It becomes a problem only when they start dropping you for their "other-half". But it's totally not cool to drop your friend for your "other-half". Most of the times your friends won't even tell you and most of the times you might make "legit" excuses but come on! We all know what's going on. Drop the act pal. It's okay to do it maybe once but really not more than that! We know you're in love and busy and shizz but stick to the plans you make! Or else your friends are just going to stop including you in all the "non-coupley" fun stuff they do! Play it cool man! 

So since they are all attached-to-the-hip now, their "other-half" (yes i will keep saying "other-half") is automatically invited everywhere! Drinks with the girls or boys!? I'll just show up with my "other-half" Road trip?! OHMIGAAAAWD! My "other-half" should totally get his car and shizz!
And somehow you try to be okay with it but then comes the PDA. Dear lord. There are very very VERY few things i hate more in this world than PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION. GET YOUR EFFING HANDS AND MOUTHS AND WHATEVER OFF EACH OTHER IN FRONT OF ME! FOR EFFS SAKE! GAAAAH. 

Nuff said. Moving on.

Another annoying thing couples do is everything becomes a "we".
"We think that movie was totally awesome!" "Oh. My. God. ikr?! we totally hate that biacth!"
So it's like you're just not an individual anymore. There is no "I" to you and you better open your "i" (read eye) to that!


"Hey! you wanna grab some lunch?" "Yeah sure! Let me just ask my "other-half""
KILL ME.
It's like having two parents wasn't enough! Let me ask my "third parent" before i do anything! Great. Just fabulous. Good going pal! Grab yourself a binkie or something while you're at it.

And as if having their "other-half" around all the time wasn't enough when they aren't around (yeah like that small amount of time, which is nothing less than a mini miracle, when they stop continuously texting them while they "talk" to you) they seem to steer every conversation to something they did! or something their "other-half" did! It's annoying to say the least but since we've already established that you aren't an individual anymore and more of like in a symbiotic relationship we didn't really expect any better. I would love to have a conversation other than whether he looks better in shirts or tee-shirts and how it might not work out between of you two because he likes tee-shirts more. Staaaahp.

And what's with the whole setting up business?! Yes i know finding someone may seem like the biggest joy in your life and you really want me to be able to feel that since you love me but maybe just maaaaaaybe i don't need to be set up. Staaaaahp. Again. It's okay that you think some of your "other-half's" friend is really nice and i should think about it.
 Cool. I might.
BUT I NEED TO DATE HIS FRIEND SO WE CAN GO ON DOUBLE DATES! YAAAAAAAAAY!
No.

And well that's all i want to strain my brain right now. I might take a nap because of the amount i am annoyed right now. Quick hint to how heated and over-worked my brain is right now - It took me a minute to correctly spell because.  And that's all for today kids! No wise words for all you couples. Just figure shit out on your own and take a hint from here.
Kthenkbaaaaai.

Little Miss Perfect.

Ah! Perfection. It's an evil word. For people like me at least! Not because i am jealous of people who are "perfect" but lately i'v come to realise just how much we all push ourselves to be perfect including myself. Don't even ask how much i push myself to be "perfect". I've had times when i breakdown completely for the sole reason that i can't live up to my own notions of perfection! Le'ts accept it. We all want to be perfect in everything we do and all that we are. I see someone who is better at something than me and don't even ask how much i push myself and mentally harass my own self to be, if not more, then just as good at it.
As someone who has studied psychology at a very basic level i can tell you that from a lot of research some very intelligent people have established how we all have our own capabilities. There is no standard kind of a structure which says that this right here is perfection and this is your level, i am level 51 you are level 54 blah blah. But in spite of knowing all that we often look at people and think "Oh my god! She or he is perfect." And then we push ourselves to excel in something we not only have no aptitude in but also no interest in! And i do it effing a lot. Like A LOOOOOOOOT. All the effing time!
If you do that too then let me tell you why i am even worse off than you and give you a little bit of happiness. I have a problem, okay? I want to be perfect and at the same time i am one of those people who don't care one bit about what people have to say about them (this does not include certain people) So do you see how weird that is? The notion of perfection is set by the society and other people and i want to be perfect and yet i don't care what people think. So yes. I am a whole new level of weirdness and insanity.
But the point is, is there anything called perfection? No seriously! What on earth is perfect? Who is perfect? At this moment i can point at someone and say "THIS! THIS EFFING PERSON RIGHT HERE IS PERFECT" and then that person will point at another derp and say s/he is perfect and its a never ending chain! So maybe after all there is nothing like perfection! Either that or well everyone is perfect in their own little way and of course is blind to it. Until some amazing person walks up to you and honestly and out of no ulterior motive tells you just how amazing and perfect you are. This of course doesn't mean that everyone thinks that those same reasons make you amazing. Some people may hate you for the same reason someone loves you!
Of course we should push ourselves to do better but we shouldn't be so afraid of failure or the inability to do something. Maybe it's not for you! So try something new! Something different! And even if you think you aren't any good at it maybe just maybe there is someone sitting and watching you and thinking "God! How i wish i could be as perfect as him/her" :)

Read if you hate people too.

Hi! If you are reading this clearly you hate people too and that means we can be friends and i like you! Heh. No. Like i said i hate people.
Ohmigawd! I know what you're thinking right now! Wow. What is wrong with her? Isn't she like all nice and wise and shit? Well...ummm.... *Awkward grin*
Well no one is all wise and nice and sweet and polite all the time. (I realised i was being wise and nice and sweet and polite while saying that! Damn it. I want to be mean) Don't you have days when you just want to watch the world burn along with all the people living on it for no reason? No one pissed you off. Nothing bad happened but EVERYONE DESERVES TO FUDGING DIE! I'd curse more openly but my family reads my blog. Has to pretends i don't know any curse words and even if i do i don't use them. So yeah. Hello to which ever member of my family is reading this! *wide awkward grin*

Anyways! Coming back to watching people die. (I think i need a shrink because typing "watching people die" made me grin. It did again. Needs a shrink!) So let me help you with what you should do when you are in such a mood because of two reasons:

1. Watching people die in real life would be really traumatizing.
2. Killing people is illegal and it might traumatize you.
3. I know i said two but fudge you! i want to give you another reason and i don't want to change that two. Both the above reasons are traumatizing and no one wants to go the shrink. Those people charge shit load.

So now let me tell you what feels good when you want to watch people drop dead for no reason other than that they are annoying douches (Yes but no that's not but is a not curse word mommie. Also me loves you):

1. Watch violent movies - Watching people die in movies isn't traumatizing for some reason. Until and unless you are on PMS and you actually start thinking how innocent people just died for your entertainment but they did not really and that makes you cry in spite of the fact that it's an ACTION movie. Wait what?! It never happened to you?! How emotionless are you?! I just got more reasons to hate people.

2. Curse - If you can't out loud do it in your head. Cursing helps. And yes mom it's a psychological fact! Google it before you ground me.

3. Throw pillows - Why? Because they don't break and if something breaks your mom will either hit you or scream at you which will only make the people-hate mood worse.

4. Sleep - Honestly taking a nap just sorts every problem in the world including people-hating mood.

5. Make a plan on how you want to kill that biatch you hate - People-hate mood will really help you in planning the most inhuman way to kill someone you hate. FOR POLICE WHO IS INVESTIGATING A MURDER WITH POSSIBLE LEADS TO THIS BLOG POST I SAID PLAN NOT KILL. YOU CANT PUT ME IN JAIL FOR THAT SUCKERS!

And that's about it. If this doesn't help get a shrink and try not to kill your shrink for sucking your money and not helping a bit. Lul no. Shrinks actually help. (No that's a lie but you need to be politically correct and shit)

Pain.


"That's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt." - The Fault in Our Stars.
I haven't written in a long while and let me tell you why. Pain. Familiar feeling?
The whole experience of pain couldn't have been concluded better than this one quote i just mentioned above, at least according to me. Emotional or physical, pain demands to be acknowledged.
A few days back i had a minor accident and injured myself pretty bad. Most people cry when they get hurt, I on the other hand, looked at the worried faces of my friends and family and well my accident is now the laughing stock because of the way i tell about it to everyone! So did i successfully ignore the demands of pain to be acknowledged? I thought so. I went to college the next day and went about almost normally, as normally as someone with an almost broken ankle can go about. And then after a long looong looooooooooooooooooong and terribly painful day i came back home. By then my ankle was five times it normal size! And even then i did not acknowledge the pain. I did not cry. But then i went to change and i realised its going to be impossible for me to get out of my jeans! Good day to wear super skinnys huh?! And that is when i finally acknowledged the pain. I sat on the bathroom floor and cried my heart out for close to an hour while my mom told me that its fine that i am crying but it would be better if i at least came out of the bathroom and cried. It felt like i was crying because i was in such pain but i realised that i was crying more because of my helplessness. I recalled two other times when i sat on the bathroom floor and cried like that and both of those times were emotional pain. We categorise pain as physical and emotional but truth is both hurt just as much. Emotional pain even more if you ask me because your body heals on its own but most of us are pretty much clueless about how to heal emotionally. I am too so I'm sorry but no wise thoughts there. But everything is supposed to have a silver lining right?! I've found a few in my condition.
1. The freedom to wear sweatpants everywhere. This just has to be number one.
2. All the pampering and love from everyone.
3. You don't have to do anything other than ordering people around to do stuff for you.
But let's talk about emotional pain for a minute. I remember crying like this only when i lost two people who were really close to me, one of them in the literal sense of the term lose and the other well wutevs. In any case what i realised is that we don't cry so much because of the pain because then i would've cried pretty much as soon as i got hurt but more because of the helplessness which accompanies pain. No matter how hard you try to ignore the pain, emotional or physical, it catches up. You can run but you can't hide and you really can't run forever. What i've learned it that it's okay to have an almost nervous breakdown on the bathroom floor and cry your heart out just because you can't change into your sweatpants in spite of being home. It's also okay to sit at home like a sick person when you are a sick person! You really don't have to pretend to be strong all the time. It's okay to cry in front of some people or on the bathroom floor. Sometimes there's strength in admitting that you are weak :)

Abusive relationships

Abusive relationships. Wow! I'm a very talkative person and not much leaves me speechless but where do I even begin on this one?! I think a good starting point would be getting to know if you are in one or not. So many teenagers don't even realise the fact that they are in an abusive relationship. I'm sure so many of you reading this would have thought "My boyfriend/girlfriend doesn't hit me. Clearly this can't be me!" but lets think again. Did you know there are other forms of abuses too? For example somebody trying to control every aspect of your life? Dictating all the rules to you and threatening you in various forms if you disagree? Constantly checking your phone or e-mails and stopping you from talking to someone even when it was just a normal conversation? Pushing your family and friends out of your life? Sounds familiar? Well lets hold our horses for a minute before hitting the panic button. When you're studying psychology and read about psychological illnesses you feel like you have all those symptoms for all those illnesses but what you are told is that everyone has these symptoms but they are very mild and you need help only when these symptoms hamper your regular functioning. That can be related to an abusive relationship too i feel. Someone who loves, well love is a big word for me at least so lets stick to like, so a person who likes you will obviously be scared of losing you or want to spend time with you but its a problem only when they feel the need to talk to you all the time and when they start pushing people out of your life because of the mere fact that someone is your friend or makes you happy and when you really need to think about it or hit the panic button is when s/he threatens you with something if you do not agree. Hit all the tick marks there? Panicking? Thinking what should you do now? Well first of all sweetheart take a deeeeep breath. Its going to be okay! You can handle this shit. So here's what you should do, you should tell a friend or your elder sibling. The most effective way would be telling your parents but considering how in our country such relationships are still frowned upon most of us wouldn't want to do that but honestly its the best way out. My dad has always said this to me that no matter what shit i've done including murdering someone the first thing i should do is tell him and well we'll see what do to. Once when i was in 10th grade such a situation did arise, not murder and not even an abusive relationship, just some person threatening me with certain stuff and though i was really hesitant in telling my dad about it but fortunately i did and he took care of it. I didn't get grounded, screamed at, lectured or anything! He told me where i was at fault and then took care of it. Sounds surprisingly easy doesn't it? Yes your parents might get mad at you just for the fact of having a relationship but honestly the wrath of your parents would be nothing compared to the bad stuff that could and is happening in your relationship! I'm not saying that it's going to be all pleasant and rainbows and butterflies after telling your parents. They might be mad at you but i've learned this a long time ago that doing the right thing doesn't ensure you a happy ending but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't do it! It probably and hopefully wouldn't get that bad but i'm sure all of us have seen gumrah and crime patrol and whatever such shows and we know that we don't live in a fantasy land! Crime is a harsh reality and we think that we are too smart to let such stuff happen to us but are we? We can be if we open our eyes and look at things as they are and not as we want to see them! The easiest way to do that is to listen to your family and friends. They probably aren't lying to you about stuff. Honestly why would they? If your friends really do love you they won't judge you or give you bad crappy advice or lie about the fact that you probably are in an abusive relationship.
