14. The New Relationship

Like I had mentioned before, sometimes the only quality time I get with my girlfriend is us watching TV together. There we are, romantically staring at the screen watching 'Greys Anatomy.' Both of us having confusing feelings about Patrick Dempsey. Sometimes we're staring at our phones while watching TV too, so we're not even watching the same thing. That's unfortunately what modern romance has become.

You'd think that nothing could ruin the romanticism of sitting on a park bench with your lover, but this is more close to the reality of that situation. Here we have two people sitting as far away from each other as possible. All while they connect with other people online. It's so bizarre how we hunt for some kind of connection yet ignore the connections all around us. I'm starting to sound like a philosopher. If only I could follow my own philosophy.
