Not that Complicated

I firmly believe in the above statement or phrase or whatever it is we want to call it. Life just isn't that complicated. People might be complex because let's face we are complex organisms not single-celled. However life in its entirety is not complicated at all people complicate things. Take sports for instance, people take sports waaaay too seriously, I am a die-hard Arsenal supporter and today I was screaming my lungs out when van Persie scored the third goal jumping like a crazy person with my father yelling joyously at my side, I was equally lungy as well though my words were less ladylike when Fabregas missed what could have been a fourth. However, I understand that as much it might hurt when the gunners lose ( which they've become accustomed to in recent years) I am able to rise above it and recognise that it is only a game. I have watched grown men reduced to a puddle of tears because their team lost, I have seen friendships end because two people dared to support mortal enemies ( Man U and Gunners fans are not meant to be in the same room). People it's not that complicated.

It's like when you have lunch with someone and because they are afraid to call it date because of the emotional and social implications that such a word possesses they try to define it as something other than. To give it a new name, one that impersonates the regular social conventions that a date requires but isn't a date itself. So it becomes something ridiculous like an "outing" or a "lunchness" and my personal favourite "our out time" what does that even mean? An outing? what were we hiding before? lunchness? the attaching of ness to words is only cute when it's not being used as buffer what relationship phobias. And of course our out time, dude seriously? People it's not that complicated.

I don't understand why people go through life with all this irrelevant intensity, if you must be intense about life then love it and live it don't stifle it. Because guess what, it's not that complicated.
