how did it come to this?
i am dumbfounded, surprised and disgusted.
i'm sure there was a phase all of us went through - a time when we were barely out of diapers - when we would not touch a member of the opposite sex for fear of disease from said member of the opposite sex. how we would call each other names and protest, scream and whine whenever made to hold hands, talk, or even stand near them.
then there was another period of time when, we just hated the thought of public displays of affection, and seeing such displays invariably made us cringe and sneer. we hated such displays, because we couldnt have it. period. full-stop. end of story.
i have finally come to a time in my life when im beginning to understand the joys of affection, and the effect even the slightest form of affection has on someone. and by that i dont only mean the kinds you guys are thinking about(all you dirty minded people you). friendly affection, a hug, a pat on the back, you know, the works.
but then to the kind of affection you guys are thinking about. after all the relevations, the realisations, the other day, on my way to work, i came across this couple, and the guy...this(with lack for better words) fat, flabby and jiggly short guy was clinging onto his counterpart - a woman who's tall(taller than him anyway), not so pretty(not that bad either) and squarish looking. it was as if she was the tree and he, the koala bear. a distant, mutated form of koala bear anyway. he wasnt even that fat of a guy - just extremely wobbly AND soft. and all the while he was doing stuff with his mouth to her that i cant even start to describe. the wide, jelly-like, gaping hole that is his mouth. all this while right in front of me, leaving me with nowhere else to turn to.
its really sad. and revolting. and completely throws the idea of affection i had out of the window.
im deeply traumatised.
