Day Lockheart

It is perhaps the most difficult job on earth to have your friends get over a broken-relationship. You can’t tell them outright that they are pathetic for brooding over it, and consolation never seem to work very well, simply because a certain warmth is gone. What people do not notice is that, the warmth is already winter prior to the break-up. Here’s an illustration:

The basis of this graph is based on a saying that goes “all good things must come to an end”, which is why the values of the x-axis is not stated. As for the values on the y-axis, 25% is the maximum when lovey-dovey relationships are compared with the good things in life.

As we reach the end of the curve, 2 things can happen: break-up or get hitched (which is obviously putting your single-hood at risk). It cannot be the latter, since my friends would put that last on their list for now (under-age!) but they couldn’t bear to break-up either. It is the symptom of being obsessive, wanting something to be around when you need it… a backup.

Repercussions

So when one broke-up with another, and regrets/misses (etc.), there’s many repercussions:
1. Begins to look unattractive, and pathetic later.
2. Irritates your friends who tries to cheer you up, but to no avail.
3. You probably smell, since you are probably too unmotivated to clean up yourself
4. You can’t even enjoy a proper love song cause every ‘you’ in the lyrics is specifically referring to someone.

Life is more than just that phase of affection that you can live without. Be awesome!
