How come on TV, it hurts just as much, but you get over it sooner ?

How come on TV, you do not find it as hard to get over someone that you should ?

How come ?

Anyway, I find myself really getting irritated by people who like to act Princess nowadays. I know one. It is very surprising. She has a certain naivete that can make her cute and lovable if you do not know her as well. However, she can spoil it all by the way she thinks. I am extremely surprised that she actually believes that her way is right though. For example, expecting all guys to give their girlfriends a credit card to spend. Or guys to pay for everything when they go out together. Not even boyfriends, but any guy. Ridiculous ! How old fashioned is that ? Why should I be spending my money on people, especially when I am trying so hard to save myself, while they are spending every month on bags and clothes that take up all the salary ? Ridiculous. In a way, I am glad that I think this way, so I will not get stuck with a girlfriend like this person. She irritates me, and her name is SailorJow. A good friend, fun and can be funny. But a major turnoff and irritant when she plays princess and expects things from you. A girl you like will make you WANT to spend on her, and not that you HAVE to spend on any girl.

In a way, you wonder where have all the innocent fun times gone, when people were not so materialistic ? When good fun with people you love was at playgrounds at night, or having an ice cream by the beach, or learning how to ice skate or cycle ? Since when did it have to turn to expensive dinners, costly presents and excessive spending ?

Life can sometimes seem so depressing and blue, that you have to look very hard and scrabble underneath all the layers of pretence for some signs that happiness can still exist. Sometimes it is harder to find than diamonds in the mud. Sometimes it is right around the corner. Sometimes, you may not expect it, sometimes, it never comes.

Sometimes you just have to wait. And pray.
