HOPE

Have you ever eaten something that you hate but still had to swallow it because someone made it with so much love ? I am someone who hates Sushi and when I had first gone to eat it, I was so excited. To me, the word Sushi sounds very fancy. It sounds like a type of dish a typical Gujarati girl like me would fancy, but from far. Being a die hard Indian Gujarati woman, my foodporn is “Daldhokhli” or “Khamand Dhokla” or “Jalebi fafda” or “Surati Undhyu”. These are the kind of dishes that would be my Sushi or Quesadilla.

Similarly, have you ever been with somebody who seem fancy or looks good but is not so much fun or fancy when you actually spend time with them. Now this may not be because they are arrogant or some ego maniacs. It can be simply because you two do not connect or because you are two completely different people or you two are just too similar. It can be anything.

Maybe the guy is Mr.Perfect but you just do not connect with him or just consider him as your friend. Maybe you two do not have that spark or maybe you are just meant to be best friends. The question is “How does one deal with such a situation?” How do you make sure that you have that person in your life but not hurt their feelings or yours? HOW DO YOU COMPLICATE AN UNCOMPLICATED SITUATION LIKE THIS ONE ?

For someone like me, relationships matter a lot. That relationship could be with your spouse, parents, fiancรฉ, friends, anyone related by blood or not. I, personally dislike the break up phase in any relationship so I stay away from such situations. But when it is not meant to be then forcing or trying to make it work is definitely not in my nature. I would rather NOT FAKE A RELATIONSHIP just to make sure that it SURVIVES. I would rather BREAK FREE from such a vicious connection.

This is what dating applications do. You meet a lot of people who you might like or who would be your Mr. Perfect but you do not have that spark with or do not connect with. What can one do next ? You can keep meeting new people until you finally meet someone , your Mr. NOT SO PERFECT or just realise that Mr. Actually Perfect will just come along.

YOU DON’T NOT HAVE TO LOOK SO HARD. All you have to do is accept what you have now and be hopeful for tomorrow because “HOPE HAS A LOT OF POWER!”

Dating : A Dilemma

As I go through all the other interesting posts, I have this fear that maybe dating and dating app has been the talk of the town for way too long. It makes me wonder why everyone would make this a HOT TOPIC๐Ÿ”ฅ. I thought it was normal to be on a dating app. I thought that since I am single๐Ÿ’ƒ, I have a legit reason to be on this app. Little did I know that my choice or my preference would be questioned in this process. People have now assumed that dating apps are not meant for dating but are meant for hookups ๐Ÿ™Šonly. The problem is when I joined this app I was not aware about this assumption. Little did I know that just cause you like meeting new people and having a good conversation with them, I was inviting everybody in my vicinity to judge me- as I was on a Dating app or rather a “A HOOKUP APP”. ๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ’

The person sitting in front of me was not judging me at all but the people around me surely were๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ. It is quite confusing to me as I thought that the vibe ๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ of two people who are meeting for the first time is what matters the most and not what the people around you think of you two. It is like a fat girl is ordering for a pizza๐Ÿ•. The girl might love๐Ÿ’– pizza and the pizza might love ๐Ÿ’–the girl back, but who cares, it is what other people think that matters right. Aaarrrgghhh !!!๐Ÿ˜Ÿ๐Ÿคข I have always been on the heavier side so I completely understand both the situations and the unnecessary eyes๐Ÿ‘€ that are being laid on you makes you more uncomfortable than the pizza ever could. What if the girl who is eating a pizza has been starving๐Ÿค” herself for days and has finally found the strength to love ๐Ÿ’–herself and the only person or people (in this case) that are building a wall for that girl to reach the final stage of self- love are the pedestrians๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿšถ or the people sitting around her giving her the nasty look.๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ

While writing this article, I recalled something that I had seen and fell in love with. We all are aware of the amazing T.V show Friends and for those of you who do not know about it, let me tell you what I was thinking, the scene where Joey was trying to enjoy his ๐Ÿ• pizza and he was told that ” a moment on your lips๐Ÿ‘„ is forever on your hips” , to which he responded by saying, rather shouting that “I AM CURVY AND I LIKE IT” and he proudly ate the last slice of pizza.

So to all you nasty onlookers, “LEAVE THEM ALONE! LET THEM DO AS THEY PLEASE”๐Ÿ™. It applies to both the girl with the pizza and the two adorable people trying to connect.
