Millennial Love

At this moment you leave aside all social networks, you are not interested in them, you find yourself lying down in the middle of the night, while your being wanders in the most intimate and personal thoughts and ideas, those that only you know... it's already dawn, you've been thinking about different and endless topics; the Origin, the immense History, going through it from the Jurassic period, passing through the Greek thought, the glorious Rome, the "darkness" of the Middle Ages, the "blessed" Enlightenment, the "longed" Renaissance and its consequences, the absurd Modern Era, and the current Contemporary world, (yes, I like History), time and space, hidden and secret conspiracies, to more "normal" and everyday issues such as your next morning's tasks, for which you will obviously be badly rested due to this recurrent mental exercise, which is sometimes produced by, or called insomnia. It's entertaining to place yourself in amazing and improbable experiences and scenarios, I mean, who doesn't like adventures? Anyway, you are daydreaming when you should actually be dreaming as your alarm will go off at 5:00 am.

You have almost three hours of sleep left, and all along the way one constant has been present...Her. That woman that you just started to meet last Wednesday when you went to dinner, caused the feeling of rusty and almost forgotten emotions, those that make you go back to your childhood when you pulled the hair of your classmate, the most precious of your small and simple world. You were happy just to get her attention because she was the greatest and most influential motivation to go to class, the reason why you struggled with math and its times tables, not to mention the divisions, the only thought... you were madly in love.

Did I exaggerate? I think I even understated... no, I definitely understated.

You're worried, you don't want to be "intense" and scare her off; subtly reply and react to her Instagram stories but, not all of them idiot! Everything can fall apart in a jiffy, consequence of four very "charged" or expressive Whatsapp text messages... an incorrect or inappropriate sticker, watch out for emojis!.... Ahgg, this distance electronic romance... it's not your thing.

She has shared compatible tastes, goals, objectives with yours, wow, that doesn't usually happen... her perspective and thinking is logical, beautiful, she can challenge you, she can add to you, she has her world of which you want to learn even the smallest detail (obviously in order to fall in love with her, it is important to listen!)... Her smile, her eyes, her eyebrows (I couldn't find adjectives that do justice to her beauty... both internal and external), and yes you induced all this from just one date, yes, it is possible.

Incredibly it was you with someone else and she seemed to be interested and even liked it! But don't worry, you have to act withdrawn, cold, "as if nothing", don't talk to her for two or three days (ahgg fucking eternity), you will see her "by accident" in some social event, and obviously you will only say hello, chat for five minutes and you will be "hanging around" with other women, you don't want to be an intense person, remember that! But you are not like that, you like to write, read, talk, dance and sing, you love phone calls, say what you think and do what you want, you are in favor of the unconventional and what is "weird", on the other hand and in parallel, you enjoy to the maximum the common activities? Wow, in a way, you are an "Intense". Fuck, it was told to you, even repeated to you! If it were up to you, you'd bring her favorite coffee and breakfast to her door (evidently you don't know them yet), just because, spontaneously and disinterestedly, you're interested in making her smile...but with her, the compass of prudence goes crazy and panics (I laughed writing that last sentence because it's so true), in short; in today's words and terms: "you're idiotized

I think I even understated... no, I definitely understated.

You're worried, you don't want to "intense" and scare her off; subtly reply and react to her Instagram stories but, not all of them less! Everything can fall apart in a jiffy, consequence of four very "charged" or expressive Whatsapp text messages... an incorrect or inappropriate sticker, watch out for emojis!.... Ahgg, this electronic romance thing... it's not your thing.

You wonder what's next, are you stuck in seeing effort, perseverance and commitment as archaic, outdated and essentially misunderstood traits pitifully misinterpreted by our generation; today translated as sharp signs of annoyance, discomfort, stubbornness and incomprehensibility?

Dear Reader, I have news for you; your task is to assign them the qualification of their nature (good or bad) by means of a dual introspective and extrospective judgment; consequently you will proceed with an action according to it.

Let's start with the easy way out, there will be those who decide to adapt to the conditions of the "game" in which the millennial romance unfolds; a relationship based on ego, pride, freedom (or debauchery?) and disinterest (because for some reason that I can't understand it's "attractive"? ) Ahh! I forgot; a central point that characterizes this pastime is that the treatment of the word "Engagement" will be equivalent to the name of a certain fearsome, diabolical and evil antagonist of a certain wizard novel... So SHH! Finally, obviously yes, the experts, prestige level, in this dynamic are the Fuckboys. However, don't forget that it takes two to play.

The hard road; for those clinging Intense ones, it is likely, almost certain to break your heart, and several times dude (tissues are recommended at all times), it can be such to the point where you may stop believing and be true to your convictions.... To you, I say: Don't be a wimp. In this journey there is no room for Fear, be who you are, be you, fuck social pressure, fuck what people will say and what I will look like. Do it for you! Not for her, not for anyone else, and don't despair. Somewhere, inside a room, lying on her bed, in the middle of the night, lies an "Intense", heading to meet you.
