Good afternoon guys! So for today's post, I'd like to talk about love and affection. When you are walking outside and you see a couple holding hands and kissing, what do you think about it? Do you think it’s sweet? Or is it too much and kind of disturbing? I had a recent situation with this same problem about a month ago and I’d like to share it with you. Me and my boyfriend went out for lunch at a cute little coffee shop and we ordered lunch and some coffees then went on to look for a place to sit. There was a more secluded room with most of the seats by the walls taken up which left us no other choice but to sit in the middle of the room. We then go on taking a seat drinking our coffee, talking to each other, laughing and kissing every now and then. My food arrives and we continue, he has his hand placed on the bare of my back. I stop every once in awhile to look at the room around me. At the table next to us is a girl sitting with a coffee and her laptop who doesn't seem bothered by the world. I look to my left and there is a gentleman who also has his coffee and laptop with a newspaper who again doesn't seem to care about much around him. In the corner of the room are two older women in conversation with themselves. Behind me, there is another pair of older women engaged in conversation one with peppered hair and one with brown hair and glasses. While I finish up my lunch we share another kiss and suddenly there is a tap on my boyfriend's shoulder. As I look up there is the women with the peppered hair. She angrily says “Excuse me, can you guys stop doing that?! It's very awkward and disturbing!” We both look at each other like “... did that just really happen….” In awe we both just say “ok” The women storms back to her friend and she says, “That wasn't necessary.” which leads to the women blowing up again repeating “What!! It’s awkward!” I’m kind of baffled and embarrassed at this point and my boyfriend instantly becomes angry. You can barely hear a whisper in the little room and the fact that the women made such a scene makes things extra awkward after that. We left shortly after. We then began to wonder why was she so offended? How could she have been so bothered by a kiss that derived from such a pure and innocent love? Although I do know that sometimes society looks down on affection and thinks it’s unacceptable unless it’s under the comfort of your own home. I am a lover of love so when I see cute couples kiss and hold hands it makes me happy for them. Overall the main bummer of this is that it made me afraid to kiss my boyfriend in public for about a week and I knew he knew it was because of the mean women and it hurt his feelings but then I came to my senses and realized I wasn't gonna let someone else's negative feelings affect my actions of love. Although I still wonder what her root of anger was it doesn't bother me and I will continue kissing my boyfriend dang it!! So to sign off today I’d like for all of you guys to “keep on keepin on” haha just kidding I just love that saying but with all jokes aside I want you to do what your heart desires even though other people might judge you in the process of it.
