Work it out
I don’t normally get all that irritated by the stupid things celebrities say. Honestly, if I got worked up every time a celebrity said something dumb, I’d be upset all the time and you know what that means? No time for sex.
But this? This article irritated me. You want to know why? Oh, hush and listen anyway.
Not only is it on the front page of people.com but the headline screams out (Vanessa Hudgens Reveals Secret to a Great Relationship!) like this pipsqueak is really revealing something of value. Not only that, they refer to this knowledge as “sage” within the piece. Sage advice from a 19-year-old. Ain’t that rich.
I want to stop seeing so many stories about High School Musical, those bitches from the Hills and who the hell are those people from Gossip Girl? I’m not saying you can’t enjoy these shows but I’m growing a little weary of People dedicating so much ink to them.
Back to this bullshit article. Off the top, I’m going to need someone older than 19 with more than a year’s worth of dating experience to tell me anything about anything. Relationships, where to buy groceries or how to squeeze a lemon.
Secondly, her advice is stupid. I was trying to think of a better word to counteract that “sage” bullshit but I can’t think of one. To say that relationships don’t require work is dumb, its misleading, it sets people up for failure. And I hate when people set others up for failure by acting as if their relationships are f’ing perfect.
I think we all deserve love. I love love! Yes, I’m aware you were operating under the impression that my heart is black as stone, but, there’s a tiny portion reserved for “love”.
You know what I have learned about relationships? Relationships ARE work. It’s not bad to admit that. The days when R is bugging the shit out of me? It takes a conscious effort to not go off on him, start a fight, argue and break up. Heh.
Like it all happens like that, right? WELL, it could and that’s my point. It’s work to not be selfish, to put someone’s needs before your own, to not always make someone’s life miserable and maybe even make them happy every now and again. That last part is probably harder for me than most of the population but, hey.
Now with R gone all the time, what the hell is this, a tea party? It doesn’t take WORK and EFFORT and DEDICATION to keep this thing called a relationship chugging along? *slap forehead*
You know, on second thought, I really don’t know what I should expect from a couple that shares the same hair styling products.
Back to work. Happy Hump Day.
