I wish I caught chickenpox two months and two weeks ago. Who would have imagined the painful discomfort, to have a direct correlation with remodelling my rationality. Even after a speedy recovery and two weeks later, the scars on my otherwise genetically-blessed-clear-face, and all over my rather well shaped body symbolises a deep story. Life is not worth wasting on those who don't care enough. As insomnia struck night after night, mixing thoughts with nightmares and episodes of Vampire Diaries excessively watched through out the day on a laptop balanced on my torso as I laid on my sick bed, I had plenty of time to think. I thought about how Mr. X only contacts me when he needs comfort, solace, assurance, care, all on his terms. Mr. Y, only to gloat how he just had *** or if he needed an ego boost, and he stopped texting all together long ago. Mr. Z, who I thought was going too well to be true bailed after our first date got cancelled due to me catching the pox. All in all at every stage in my life for the past decade, I have wasted my time on a Mr. Wrong and it's pathetic. Apart from having a date on Valantine's day, making out, endless string of inspiration to write shallow poetry, I have gained nothing but heart break and sad memories. The one time my mother would quote Beyonce to say, they all turned out to be the best thing I never had.
