If only...I wish my life was a comic strip in one of my Archie series. It seems so simple, so rewarding (close friendships, familiarity with everyone in the neighbourhood) and, I hate to say this but, it appears to be more appealing than this current life of mine. And maybe, yours.
Wouldn't it be cool to (literally) have a brand new beginning every morning? There's a saying that goes, "Everyday is a new beginning", but please lah, we ALL know for a fact that a new day DOES NOT tantamount to a new start. There's too much regret and reminders to allow us to even feel that we have a new start at hand.
Unlike in a comic strip. Every story has a hilarious (never tragic) end to it. If Veronica were to find out that Archie gave up a date with her to go bowling with Jughead, she'd throw a fit, chase after him with a stick but we never know if she used it to hit him or they kissed and made up in the Chocklit Shoppe. Because in the next series, an entirely new story has began with Betty and Veronica going to a secluded beach to explore the area.
See how easy life is in a comic strip? Whatever mistakes you make, it'll be forgotten when the story comes to a halt. And therefore, those characters have something which I don't; MULTIPLE CHANCES TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST.
Love trangles. Don't we just hate those?! Having to share your loved one with someone else... It might sound really selfish, but when it comes to Love, I'm NEVER willing to share even a crumb of it with even my closest friend. If you wanna go on a date, go find your own boyfriend. NOBODY TOUCHES WHAT'S MINE.
Yet they can still go on knowing that Archie's a two-timer
Their friendship is interwined with scandals, conflicts and competition... How do they make it work out when I can't?
Meet my favourite character, Betty Cooper.
Born on 29th June (serious!). She has it all; all that I don't.
