Roommates for the Next Two Months

[DifRent]

Yeah... I succumbed again last night, because the opportunity was there, to read their text - or I should say, "sext" - messages. Had I read those exchanges a month ago, I would have been devastated. It's amazing how much perspective I've gained since then, though. Because it's ALL they text about - this, on top of spending literally every evening together surely doing the things about which they text. Oh, every now and then a little comment about how much they love each other, and how wonderful it will be to have this for the rest of their lives. But mostly, just poorly written embarrassing stuff not worthy of adult consideration.

I mean, I am embarrassed for her! We never did this sort of thing when we were in love - we took our time to build a real relationship. What she's doing now is so childish, and I hear you Fogg and Heavy, it's like talking to a cat, I know. But sweet Jesus... it's so stupid and immature to throw your entire life away for this.

Well, it's comforting in a way. The more they pursue this fantasy, the harder and faster, the worse will be the fall, right? Unless I'm wrong and they really are building a wonderfully shallow relationship to which they will cling out of stubbornness long after the afterglow shows their true colors to each other.

Off to church to pray for her! (Fake love seems like so much more fun than real love...)
