Get Soooome!

As a teenager living in a teenager's world there is three letters that you will have to know, and will soon come to despise with a burning passion: P.D.A. There is a varying degree of tolerance from person to person but the general consensus is that it makes you die a little inside every time you are forced to bear witness to two individuals pressed up against the wall of a crowded hallway or standing on the platform of a stairway sharing a moment while everyone awkwardly weaves their way around this human roadblock. Ignorance is bliss they say, and 99.99% of the world would like to remain blissfully ignorant of your relationship.

To be fair there are varying degrees of this unfortunate practice. There are those who comport themselves in a mature and respectful manner, restricting their actions to handholding between classes.

Then there are those who like to pretend that if they close their eyes while they suck each other’s face off that no one can see them either.

Continuing on there are those weird couples who just creep you out more than anything and make you want to stay single for as long as possible. You know, the ones who just sit on the floor of some secluded hallway poking and tickling each other while one steals the others food. They make us sick, and we hate them.

I share this with you in the hope that should you ever find yourself enamoured by that special someone you will remember that there is a whole world out there, full of people who just want to get on with their day; and nobody needs to see that.
