Guatemala Moments.

Life doesn't get any more pathetic then when you're watching a romantic comedy by yourself. At first you think it will be fine, after all you did want to see the new Kate Hudson movie, and you watch romcoms alone all the time at home. But trust me when I say, that's what you think my friend. That's what you think, until you slowly turn to the seat next to you to say that- but alas, the seat is empty. As you're sitting alone eating the ridiculously large popcorn you bought only for yourself and that you know you will inevitably eat all of, all you can think of is how pathetic your life must be. I mean come on, you couldn't even find a single person who wanted to go see a chick-flick with you, and the overly romantic music that's playing as the leading male races to catch his girl before she gets on the plane to Guatemala is not helping. You only mutter softly under your breath, "Guatemala, It's always Guatemala," and sigh heavily as the names roll up on the screen. You look around only to notice that you are not only the only person alone, but also the only person crying. You regretfully exit the theater feeling rejected and alone, only wanting to cry alone in the corner, and complain about how romantically deprived your life is. And you can't help thinking that if your life was like the movie you just saw, you'd bump into a handsome stranger who finds you attractive even though you're crying and you in turn would have your own Guatemala moment. But you make your way home in the lonely haze of a crappy movie you hope to never see again.
