:mjlol: and :mjcry: at the same time



**next morning, post smash **

Chick: Wow, you're just as "smashing" as I remember. Fancy some breakfast? :youngsabo:

Dude: Uh no, actually. I'll be heading off :smugbiden:

Chick: What?! But I thought last night was about us rekindling what we had? I thought you still had feelings for me too? :damn::sadbron:

Dude: Well, not really. I just fancied a roll in the sack with me ex. No hard feelings, love. But we're over and been over for 5 bloody years :manny:

Chick: No! If you leave, I'll hurt myself. Actually, I'll kill myself. I'll f#cking kill myself...and it'll be on your hands :demonic::ufdup::usure:

Dude: Yea right....bugger off :camby:

**next morning, dude reads paper**

Dude: Bloody Christ :dame::mindblown::ld:

I'm not trying to be insensitive, but this chick was pining for a dude who left her half a decade ago. Dude smashed and then left the next morning like she was a smut. Chick kills herself behind it.

Chick was in her 30s, single, depressed and living with a cat. The Coli talks about this all the time and this chick actually lived that life. So much so that she didn't want to live it anymore.

I hope her family and friends recover, but she needed help way beyond marriage and getting over an ex.

Peace

the british vernacular had me dying :dead:

The point I was getting to was that for some people, their identity is vested in their careers and/or superficial things.

Think about it from a certain perspective, I wake up every morning and go to work. I make my employer thousands upon thousands of dollars for my labor, they're definitely getting the lion's share of the rewards of my productivity but I make a very reasonable wage. Day after day, it's the same routine.. 12 hour days, on call, etc.. Something's missing, I'm happy in my career but I feel it's not enough. I see my friends.. They're marrying, they're in sustained relationships.. there's a warmth that comes from them now that is strange to me but I feel that joy, I want it for myself but how? I've been in school for so long, working so long to get to the top that I really don't know how to really establish myself within a relationship.. I'm frustrated but I am OK, I guess.

If I think about it, I've devoted myself to my work but when think about the thought of me laying in my deathbed and I think of the people I've impacted.. Will they come to comfort me in my last hours? Will the company that I've devoted years of my life to, made hundreds of thousands of dollars for..will they give a damn? Of course, my kin are always there but the thought of descending into the grave without leaving a tangible legacy would terrify me. No children, no spouse.. None to carry my memory or blood beyond my death. I'm speaking in hypotheticals but imagine getting older and wanting this but being frustrated by your inability to accomplish this for whatever reason.. Desperation can sometimes become inescapable.

This is why I ask folks what is it that you want to do on this Earth, what do you want to leave behind? Beyond a career and security.. What else is there? Money get spent, tombstones get whited to a point where names fade. Do you want to die alone or with no one (such a child, spouse, etc..) to fully cherish and/or pass off your memory to their kids?
i feel you to some extent but the other way to look at it is, whether you do all of these things or not, whether you leave your mark on the world or not, you could even find the cure for aids and be remembered forever, etc etc. or maybe you do nothing note-worthy. but you'll still be dead at the end either way. one way to look at it is to enjoy your time while you're here. not saying this is 100% my mindset but i guess just like everything, it's all about balance...

in those 5 years since her last relationship, im sure dudes probably hit on her all the time.

She probably turned down every guy who hit on her. I bet she was expecting some brad pitt. bytch, you aint worth it. good riddance
My sentiments aren't nearly this harsh. But you hit on some truth. Not able to get over somebody for 5 years. Stop and think about that really hard folks. And then invited dude over...says he left the following morning...we know what went down there. Dude no doubt had moved on but was still smashing on the low.

My sis just got engaged to a dude that cheated on his wife to meet her :snoop: she's been through all types of bs with that dude and has a 6 year old by him, now she finna marry him :snoop: I think this pressure plays a big part in it because she's 34


I'll never understand people that hook up with people that they cheated with to get. 100 percent failure rate at some point and time
