Isn't it funny how shit works out. Boy likes girl. Girl likes another boy. That boy likes another girl. And that girl couldn't give a fuck. Then the first boy gets over first girl, starts liking second girl who likes someone else...ok, now i'm just freakin confused. All I know is, there's a whole bunch of people liking each other - but it's all one-way! There's nothing mutual. When boy likes girl, and girl likes boy back, then we got something mutual. But most of the time we find ourselves crushing on some dude or some chick who either isn't attracted to us/sees us as a friend OR has no idea that we even exist!! Why am I even writing about this? Because I talk shit, this is what I do. Oh, and because it just occurred to me that there is a lot of love in this world...but a whole lot of it is unrequited. The word "unrequited" just makes me think of Shakespearian times, and the kind of love that makes tragedy poetic. But what is so poetic about love that is never reciprocated? Isn't that just sad?
"A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain."
Oh lord, it's just depressing. At the moment I find myself in the position of admirer and admiree. And it's very strange when I think about the situation...to think that I can feel something for someone I barely know - while conversely being the object of someone else's affection who barely knows ME! I think it's all very strange.
Anyway, it reminds me of a little book I read in school called "The Ballad of the Sad Cafe" by Carson McCullers. Obviously it's about unrequited love. And there's a hunchback character...I came across this youtube video which is a live reading of the book AND IT'S FREAKING HILARIOUS. This guy even does different voices for all the characters! As weird and laughable as this reading is, I couldn't bring myself to press the stop button HAHAHAHA watch it!!!! On a serious note, the book is really good :p
