How relationships make us animals

The title of this post is little misleading. Basically what I want to do is present this analogy that my brain created while having a conversation with a friend.

Statement 

People in relationships are like pet dogs. Single people are like stray dogs.

How

Pet dogs have fixed timings for their meals. They know when they're getting some, how much amount, they like the food, sometimes they get a little variety too. They don't have to be insecure or stress over their next meal. These dogs are happy, don't snap a lot and pretty much focus on loving their family, which in turn makes them more lovable and harmless, not to mention mentally and physically beautiful.

Quite like people in relationships who get a healthy and regular dose of sex. Even the long distance relationship folks have better guarantee of their next time, even if it's 2 months or so. The odds are better than for a person who's single (unless you're a playa) They work better, are gentle, warm, also their skin always glows. They don't look desperate, putting their mouth everywhere, thus no chances of their reputation getting tarnished.

Stray dogs are vicious. They'll hunt for food everywhere. Clean, rotten, from the road, from a dumpster, it doesn't matter. Their standards are low as survival is key. There's no concept of quality control. And they constantly hope there's more where that came from. 

We single people are like strays. Need I explain?

Deer in headlights

I'm just a lost bird
Wings are clipped partially

I'm a deer in headlights
Blinded by the fear

You do not make it easy
To voice a little pain

I'm just your woman
With few broken nails

Update for general sanity

Wow, haven't written in so long.

I'll tell you the deal with me. When I'm happy and content, I spend more time experiencing than writing. I'm not big on photographs either. Most of the time I don't understand peoples' need to update people on everything - what airline lounge/5-star hotel they're checked into, exactly what restaurant are they eating at on their honeymoon, or simply 20 self shots in the same photo album. Please discount my Twitter account, that's just to ward off a little loneliness from time to time.

I also do not write when I don't wish to share. (Which is rare considering how much I talk!) Some things are very personal to me. Like I'll barely talk about my friends here, because I love them to death. They're all mine. What they say, what they think...it's mine to keep. My two different friends circles also don't know much about each other, it's that extreme! :P My general love is intense and it's not on display. I love when I love. I don't have to prove a point. And then sometimes I'm scared it'll elude me after a bit. It has happened quite a bit. It's no fun losing people right after you thought they were gonna stay a while and made a big huge declaration about it.

About half a month ago, I joined a company I've wanted to work with for a long time. People who know me, know what a big deal it is for me. And though I'm scared as hell, 'cause I wanna be good at this more than anything I've wanted in a very very long time, this is quite possibly the most exciting thing that's happened to me in recent past. I've learnt more here in half a month than I did in the last one year at my previous organization and, if you ask me, that's a hell of a reason to wake up every morning.

So you get why it took me so long to make this post? I'm a little in love with life right now.

Sorry I have nothing profound, interesting or poetic to say. I just wanted to write because this blog is important to me and it bothered me to not have made a post in a while :)

Can I just say one more thing? Push your limits. Go for it. You'll never know until you try.
