DeadStrings:If it makes you happy, go for it.
StringTheory27:Not sure if I can use the word happy.It’s freeing in ways I didn’t know, but it’s also sad.Weird, huh?
DeadStrings:Is that why you’re awake?
StringTheory27:That and I was watching a movie with Allegra.Pretty in Pink.That’s when I realized it’s all a lie.Movies give you an ending that sucks—there’s nothing happy.Yet, they have to give you that satisfactory ending.But was it?Like in this case, Andie ends up with the asshole instead of reliable Duckie.
DeadStrings:You wanted her to go with reliable but not in love?
StringTheory27:No, I wanted her to have a third option because Blane is going to leave her.That parking lot kiss is a lie.A lie.They’ll have a fight, things will go back to what they were before, and can you spell broken heart?
DeadStrings:So, you’re saying you don’t believe in second chances?
StringTheory27:At life or at love?
DeadStrings:Both.
StringTheory27:Second chance at life is valid.Everyone should have that not only once but several times.We’re not perfect; all we can do after falling is try again and again until we make it.
DeadStrings:How about love?
StringTheory27:A second chance at loving the same person or just at love?
DeadStrings:Either.
StringTheory27:That’s tricky.I think after you lose the love of your life, you have every right to find someone new.Fall in love again.
DeadStrings:Is that possible?
StringTheory27:I want to believe it is.Unless ...unless that other person has a grasp on your soul and then you can never love again.Then, that’s a tragedy.
DeadStrings:Then what do you do?
StringTheory27:Find a new way to love?
DeadStrings:What if you can’t stop loving that person?
StringTheory27:Have you tried?
DeadStrings:No.This is the first time I’m wondering if I can get a second chance.Though I have to fix myself before I can attempt anything.
StringTheory27:Fixing?You’re not a car.
DeadStrings:How would you rephrase it?
StringTheory27:Find yourself?
DeadStrings:What exactly am I looking for?
StringTheory27:The person you’re meant to be, who you’re meant to love before you can love anyone else.
DeadStrings:Wow, that’s deep.
StringTheory27:I got it from a self-help book I bought yesterday after I broke up with my boyfriend.
DeadStrings:Oh, so there’s a breakup, huh?Was your boyfriend a Blane?
StringTheory27:Yeah, I realized we weren’t compatible.He was trying to save me or ...not sure what he was trying to do.He wasn’t a Blane, more like a combo of Duckie and Steff McKee.
