I'm looking for a pill that will make me avoid intimate relationships until my heart stops. I've determined that I am not fit for any so-called "love". I'm not saying that I don't want my friends to love me (or for me to love them), I'm just starting to realize after 23 years of life and 13 years of "dating", that I can only maintain friendships. Thus, I'm going to find a "friend with benefits", but never live with or have any commitment to. Furthermore, I'll pop that pill daily to ensure a healthy, mostly drama-free lifestyle.
I figure that I need this pill quite badly. I understand relationships don't work out, and I know that it's somewhat bad luck that I often get the short end of the stick, but I need the pill so I'll stop smitten over every cute girl I see. Seriously, it's been getting worse lately. It was really bad my senior year at Hope, but without Dan as my teammate I find myself working extra hard. As a result, I've acquired an aire of confidence about me that gets me in flirting situations. Flirting is what makes the game (yes it's a fucking game) fun, so I'd like the pill to allow flirtatious situations, but it needs to keep me focused on dying alone.
Dying alone isn't such a bad thing if you seriously consider it. There are no children to worry about, no life-mate crying at your funeral, no one wondering about inheritance, no regrets for dying, and so on. Basically, I want to die without unresolved business. I understand that my friends will be sad, but at least they'll already have something they are basing their lives on.
Well, why not just make that an invisibility pill. That solves every problem I've addressed.
