the sickness of perfection

everybody has that one couple in their life that makes them sick. not because they fight all the time. because they never fight. and the guy is chivalrous and loving. and the girl is beautiful and forgiving. and they make you want to throw up. and you're not sure if it's just because it's so mushy or because you're a little envious of them. after all everything seems so goddam perfect.

and the flowers that he gives her just start a fight between you and your boyfriend and you are reminded how unlike them you truly are.



but recently i have noticed that my life and relationship is not so ungratifying as i previously had thought. i have a boyfriend who changes my car oil, no questions asked and even leaves a cute note on the sticker. sometimes he takes our time together for granted and that pisses me off. but he buys me things without ever asking for even a dime. he loves cars more than he will ever love me. but somehow i'm ok with that. he tells me i'm beautiful. he bites his nails. but he loves me.

and i'm not exactly sure how those couples appear so perfect, or if that is even healthy, but i've realized that i don't care.

i'm quite content with my pooky.
