The Worry-Boat

Y'know what?

What?

Two of my ex-classmates from primary school have just got engaged with one another...how bizarre is that huh?

Not that bizarre, really

Oh yeah? I thought it was pretty awkward...they weren't even talking back then...and the next thing you know, BAM! straight to the gold ring!

That's fate for you

Yeah, I guess so...

Don't sound too excited though

I'm not, that's why

Why aren't you excited?

Y'know...seeing one after another ex-classmates and classmates moving on like this puts me in the worry-boat

The worry-boat??

Yeah...the worry-boat is the boat that just sits there worrying...never moving forward

Not a really good vehicle to have in the first place

No......and I know that....

So get onto a proper fueled-boat then

Can't afford one in this condition

What d'you mean by that? You can afford plenty if you try

Don't want to

Why not?

'Cause I'm afraid of disappointment...afraid of rejection...

You'll never know unless you try

Haven't got a candidate to try on to even start

What about Hatty?

What about him?

Try him out

You mad?! I don't even know him! He doesn't even know I exist! Plus he's not the type you can just jump out of the bush and hit on, y'know

Why not?

'Cause he's a good, healthy, wholesome guy in his early 20s who thinks about nothing but his future

You can be part of that future

You're crazy...I'm not worth a penny of his future

There you go again...all negative

Negative is my hidden middle-name and I was complemented for my negativity once

You kidding me?

I did.......................in my dream

No wonder

A guy said to me, "Your negativity is beautiful. I like you"

You should find that guy and get Hatty out of your system then

Well maybe I should! Hmph!
