Rick’s ramblings: A tale of a dragon fruit

I have decided from now on to use code name ‘dragon fruit’ for bad hookups and here’s why... 

Drunk on champagne at my fabulous friend Seju’s house this weekend with my friend Minica with a ‘c’ and Dipti with a ‘d’, our fabulous friend Suzzy with an ‘s’ said, “I mean random hookups with hot people are only for the temporary ‘happiness’ right and validation of some kind also (don’t bother denying it and giving that ‘I don’t need validation from a man’ crap)”. On a day when you feel like a PMS-ing, bloated baboon, a random hot guy at a party going all gaga over you is definitely an ego boost. However, if there is no “happiness” in the ending, it’s so useless! You know what I mean, right? It’s not like I was thinking of marrying him and having his children. All you had was one “job” and one job only and you couldn’t even do that well, you managed to f**k it up! What’s the point of me getting drunk, blabbering all that bulls**t while doing that dance of seduction (yes, I have one and yes, it works) and also listening to all your bulls**t and pretending to look interested (while obviously all I was wondering was how many abs under that one size small tee that you’re wearing? Six or eight) and obviously dying to find out... 

But then sadly, all you had was abs and nothing else and as lovely as it is to look at those abs, they do nothing at all for my “happiness”. You are like a dragon fruit, oh-so-pretty to look at and click picks for insta food porn but tasteless and bland as hell. Well actually, to be honest, a dragon fruit is not useless unlike you.. it’s got antioxidants, I hear, which is great for me so eating it, isn’t a waste of time, but the same can’t be said about you, sigh...

I mean, I am an optimist alright, I am not gonna let this demoralise me. I’ll definitely go out and hook up in the future but let me say, I’ll be more careful to pick the right fruit next time. What looks yummy might just not be yummy at all to eat. I was wondering maybe an avocado next time and my friend Dipti with a ‘d’ agreed, it’s her favourite fruit (no puns intended)
