Yesterday I met a 24-year old, who had a wee skirmish with his girlfriend, aged 23. Apparently he forgot to mention some obscure detail from his daily schedule, which slipped out during an erstwhile phone conversation. Ms 23 was upset, and now intends to be less forthcoming with obscure details from her own life.
Ahhhh…love at 23 and 24…it can be so silly and sweet, simultaneously.
Those of us, who are in our 30’s, listened with faint amusement and nonchalance, as our friend sighed with supreme intensity. We relished our bhuna ghosht and naan; he was experiencing hell raised to the power of 20.
We tried to comfort him; assure him that all shall pass. It was rather difficult to get him to divert his attentions to a wonderful world, beyond Ms 23. Calm down and talk to her tomorrow, we told him, with a firmness that finally managed to bring out the cheery, wit in him, once more.
On a different note, I was telling one of my male friends how I like space, physically and figuratively, in all relationships, romantic and otherwise. “You sound like a guy!” he gasped. Hmmm…our pal Giuliana Depandi from ENews!, once compared Anjolie Jolie to a guy, when it comes to her attitude. Now, that can’t be bad. After all she has Brad Pitt.
you’re not the only one… I have my own friends can go out alone and meet them, I can even travel alone…else I wouldn’t be married with my man.
