EDIT – I was going through my drafts and found this gem right here from 2015. It’s crazy how it still applies even 5 years later, so I thought to just go ahead and post it. It’s been years since asofterworld stopped publishing these kind of comics, but I still find myself going back to the website once in a while to check (or hope) for something new. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of my asofterworld posts. Truth be told, I am this kind of person.
I just realized I’m one of those people who often ask for advice on what looks nice, which is better or which option I should take; and once I receive that advice.. I stick with my original preference. Something similar happened to me today that made me realize that it’s sort of irritating. I always ask for advice when it comes to more than 1 option. Especially to my sister. Usually it involves what clothes or shoes to wear. I end up sticking to my original choice. My sister mentioned a few days ago that regardless of what she says or recommends I still choose the other one and go against the other option. Makes me wonder why I do this? I think it’s because I need validation that I made the right choice or that my choice is always the better one than the other? It boggles me that I need so much validation in order to verify my choices. That’s all, really. Fleeting thought of the day.
If you’ve read my tumblr or this blog you know I am an avid follower of the genius little site that is asofterworld. I like that amidst all the sarcastic and hard-hitting punchlines, there comes a sweet gem like the poster above. I have been single for a while now, and while I don’t mind it because I’m still trying to figure myself out (and the rest of the world for that matter) sometimes it does bother me especially since my mother has been on my back about getting a boyfriend for some time now. She is very concerned about me being single. I get it. I am approaching mid-twenties now (THE HORROR) and she probably wants me to start being secure with someone already. Like many out there, I still have issues with commitment and I’m just trying to put all the pieces together and get to know as many guys out there. Nevermind the fact that I always get the “don’t-like-the-one-who-likes-you”/”like-the-one-who-doesn’t-like-you” syndrome. I just miss the whole doing nothing with someone, the kind …
