Just Go With It

Do you remember what it felt like when you were a little kid and you had a loose tooth? I just remember constantly wiggling that ish, trying to get it to come out...wiggling back and forth until it started to hurt, then I'd stop lol. There'd be so many weird methods of people pulling their loose teeth out...like did anyone actually try attaching floss to their tooth, then to a door and slamming the door? Like that doesn't seem like it's work and if it did work it would more or less pull out more than a tooth I feel LOL. But from what I remember, all of loose teeth that fell out, fell out randomly and naturally. It's kinda like the more I wiggled it, the less it would budge, I don't remember any instance of me actually wiggling and pulling to the point where a tooth actually came out. Funny story tho, when I was a kid I was at a restaurant with my family and we were having one of those 10 course dinners. One of those courses happened to be crab LOL...you can kinda see where this is going right? So even tho they give you those clamp things to help you break the shells, me feeling like the indestructible child most kids believe they are...I bit the shell trying to crush it with my teeth and it worked, only thing is that the shell didn't wanna go down without a fight, all I remember is feeling a breeze of air on my teeth, then realizing I had a hole my tooth use to be, and my tooth lodged into the piece of crab LOOOL....my mom was just like bruhhhh, as I went to the washroom and rinsed my mouth lol. But anyways, getting to my point...aren't relationships like that? For some, maybe most people? I definitely feel like that at times. Whether it's cuffing season, whether you're feeling lonely, or maybe it's just all your friends are in relationships too. I'm sure we've all been in a phase where we just really wanted to be in a relationship. Whether that means going on multiple dates, constantly going out to try to meet people...you name it. Now, like many other guys...and probs girls, I went through a tinder phase...going on multiple blind dates with random girls, hoping something would come out of it. Now I'm not saying that doing that is wrong...I'm not saying going out to meet people or going on dates is wrong...I guess what I'm saying is that feeling like you need a relationship to be happy is wrong.  I've always tried to tell my friends to just be patient, to let it come naturally...but sometimes, it's harder than it looks. Like I said....whether it's just that season or all your friends are taken...sometimes it gets to you, and that's understandable. But just like your loose tooth...yeah sure you can force it, you can go on dates every night, go out every chance you get with the intention to meet someone...or you can try to let it happen naturally, go about your day, work on yourself and maybe that special someone will come along into your life unexpectedly...wow that sounds like some sort of Wong Fu video doesn't it? LOL, if you don't know who they are it's cool. But yeah. I'm not trying to say that you're wrong for doing this, I'm not saying you're right for doing this...but I am saying that you don't need a relationship to be happy and if you think that way and that's why you're prioritizing it, then that's the wrong thinking. But then again, I know lots of people who go that route and end up in healthy, long term, committed relationships. I guess this is just for me...and maybe anybody else who thinks like me...who maybe needs that reminder that it'll come eventually, naturally, in due time...be patient my friends, I'm right there running the same race you are...peace out.
