I think I have been making bad choices since birth. This one time when I was a kid, I stole a stuffed lion from a store. Another time, I got my leg stuck in a playground set until my mom had to get me. And yet another time, I tried to run away from home because I couldn’t go to the pool on the coldest day of the summer.
Bad choices are kind of my specialty. But as soon as I grew up a little bit and guys came into the mix, bad choices turned into a series of unfortunate events.
This one time, I was “proposed” to during Beyonce’s "Single Ladies" in front of the school. Another time, on my very first date, my mom got so nervous that I was doing something crazy that she tracked my location on my phone not knowing it would let out this awful beeping sound from my phone.
Then later in the night, she invited the same guy in for hot chocolate, not knowing that I completely denied him a kiss at the end of the night. Another time, I set up who I thought was “the love of my life” with another person.
They’re still together, by the way.
Needless to say, I’m not lucky in love.
There’s this song from Kinky Boots called “The History of Wrong Guys” where a girl sings about how she’s been unlucky in love. There's the bum, the guy who’s not into you, the sleaze, the person who likes the girl next door, the guy who likes the boy next door and, of course, the guy who is immature.
Yet, she gets back in the game every time. She nearly goes crazy a few times. But at the end of the day, she decides to go for it again. To be honest, I haven’t listened to the music beyond this point, but I’m sure it works out in the end.
Or if it doesn’t, it’s a nice addition to a set of failures she’ll soon be able to laugh at. Honestly, when it comes to bad choices, that is not the worst punishment in the world.
I mean, after all, nothing can beat the Beyonce thing, right?
