Fomo on Love
They say love makes you blind, but so does hatred, and I was blind to the benefits of being my very own partner.

If you are at a party and a guy pulls out an acoustic guitar, there is a 50% chance that he will play “Wonderwall,” and a 50% chance that he plays “Cigarette Daydreams.”
As I walk down the street, skipping around like I just had my first kiss, I might look crazy, but in my mind it all makes sense.
I wake up thinking about boygenius. I eat in the dining hall, and I ponder boygenius. I even spent my entire Friday night talking about boygenius with my suitemate’s friends.
Does being in love with someone doom you to a life belonging to someone else? I want to think no…in favor of being the optimist I am (in case you can’t tell, this is 100% sarcastic).
It takes a lot of courage to say “NO” to the people we love, but it doesn’t have to make us feel guilty.
