What I always enjoyed about Morticia and Gomez was how they made no secret that they passionately loved each other. We get so used to seeing depictions (on television especially) of married couples in continual states of contention—belittling one another, falling into the wife/mother-husband/child trope, and generally disrespecting each other, which made me wonder why they even bothered marrying in the first place.
But Gomez and Morticia never lose their desire and respect for each other. Is it because they’re “weird” that it’s acceptable to depict married life so positively? Or are they “strange” because, after three children and a lifetime together, they still adore each other? I know no marriage is perfect, but wouldn’t it be nice if the media portrayed marriage as more than a continuous state of exasperation and anger? Maybe that’s why romance novelists and romance novel readers are so embattled: because we dare to believe in love.

“Hours.”

Cried
Despite the darkness of the Caribbean nightclub, we could clearly see her mascara was streaked down her cheeks and had begun dripping onto her pretty white sundress. Once she noticed, she cried even harder. “This. Is. A. New. Outfit,” she choked in between heaving sobs. It was a little heartbreaking to watch.
Accompanying the free-flowing saline was snippets of the story behind the breakdown. The breakdownee, named Erika, had been the subject of unrelenting ridicule at the hands of a few folks in our group of about twelve. All of us down there were present for various facets of work, and only half were true friends from New York.
The rest, including Erika, had never been on a jaunt such as this and, as goes with any newcomer hanging with an already tight-knit group, were subject to hazing in the form of deplorable shots (Prairie Fires, Three Wisemen, warmed 151, etc) and endless mocking. Which had gotten to the poor thing. “No one likes me,” she wailed, the club’s strobe lights infrequently illuminating exactly how hard she was bawling.
Now, Erika is a genuinely nice person. A cute girl with a great body, who always tried to have a positive demeanor and a bubbly smile affixed to her face. However, when she got tipsy and subsequently drunk, her insecurities emerged rapidly and her self-appointed faults were the precise things members of our group honed in on and used as weapons against her.
People wonder why I’m depressed. It’s because I hate myself. I hate the way I look, my personality, my “quirks”. I hate it all. And I’m trying my best to get through that, to learn to love myself, but it’s hard after having felt like this my whole life.
People just don’t get it. I don’t choose to be unhappy, I don’t want to be unhappy, I just am.
