ROCK is a new relationship TERM, yea it’s not a new type of relationship, it’s commonly known as FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS… But, there is a new name now, the Relationship Of a Certain Kind, ROCK, maybe it sounds like it ROCKs?
This kinda relationship is now a common thing, I guess people are just more comfortable with it, no strings attached, no pressure, most importantly, you don’t need to put in too much effort… And also, the relationship can be so flexible, you can turn into a friend, you can turn into a lover, depending on the situations… VERY COOL!!
But, it’s not easy to maintain I would say, it’s too flexible till you might not know how to balance it… Sometimes you feel like a friend, but your partner might feel like a lover, or vice versa… Or, if you are TOO LOVER, your partner might not be happy as he or she wants to be more friend than a lover, or other way round… Or, one day you want the ROCK to turn into an actual relationship because you have fallen in LOVE with your partner, that is not a ROCK, that is a violation… Or, you have few ROCKs at the same time till you are trapped in them…
Sometimes I wonder, since a human needs both friends and a lover, and they are so hard to get, why not just get ONE ROCK and done the job… So that you won’t have to worry about not balancing between friends and lover, because they are the same anyway… The scary part is, when the ROCK is broken, you will be left with NO ONE, NONE.
But then, it is the same for FRIENDS and LOVERS too, they come and go… No matter how much effort you have put in, how much love you have given, there will still be some other reasons for them to leave… Or, a very common reason, TIME, time changes people, we are different every minute… Or, no reason at all, just one sentence “The feelings have changed”…
From the view of an INVESTOR, it seems like investing in a ROCK is a HIGH RISK HIGH RETURN investment while FRIENDS and LOVERS are some GOVERNMENT BONDS, they can be stable with reasonable returns for a FIXED PERIOD OF TIME till the maturity dates… So, what type of risk taker are you? Go and have your risk portfolio done!
Afterall, being alone is a must learn theory in life, having people around you is a BONUS, if you don’t, that’s life… Because it’s YOUR LIFE, YOUR BUSINESS… Who cares…
Quote a friend of mine, Mervin…
A song named The World is a Vampire by Smashing Pumpkins, tells you that… THE WORLD SUCKS…
