An Oversimplification of Her Beauty Page #3

flourishing,

but at some point

when it was steadily growi,

let's say this young lady

friend reveals to you

that she is engaged in an

exclusive romantic relationship

with a young man whom

she has described to you

as both charismatic and caring.

She directly tells you that his charisma

only kees her periodically content,

and he is thus forced to compensate

for this in a variety of ways.

Also, from both her complaints and your

observations of their relationship,

you note that although

you are completely differet

from this young man in both

sensibility and style,

you are likely to meet a similar,

if not identical fate.

When she tells you this, you perform

some simple arithmetic and conclude

that she has been withholdg

this information from you

for between four

and eight weeks.

Let's say that in one of your

moments of acute self-awareness,

you admit to yourself

that you knew all along..

...about her

exclusive romantic relationship.

She was, indeed,

not adept at hiding it.

You, of course, chose to ignore it,

telling yoursf that her and her boyfried

must have an agreement

or understanding

that would allow for relationships

just like the one you have with her.

You told yourself

and your relationship is now

augmented with quotation marks,

to illustrate the fragility...

...and moral destitution of the situation.

And let's say that this is the current state

of affairs when you experience this day.

Again, not the best of day.

You wake up slightly late,

you arrive to work late,

you to stay later out of guilt,

and subsequently you are late

for a course

you are enrolled in.

When you arrive,

the professor looks at you coldly and says,

"You should have been here"

You do, however,

manage to finish building and transporting

the last few pieces of your bed.

Unfortunately, the bed

does not function propery

because you made it out of pine,

which is a soft wood.

For the proper strength

required for a sturdy bed,

you would have

needed a hard wood,

like maple, oak, or mahogany.

Of course, you rush home.

Kids on the train often tease you

because of the length

of your hair.

You are amused.

You are shamefully dirty because

you have not showered, shaved,

or applied deodorant

in two days.

When you get home, you realize that you
