It's always greener on the other side
Um…well… that’s not really in my budget, you see? I don’t think my minimum wage will really pay for a spa trip, you know? Or maybe you don’t know…
Someone like you? I mean your family is really successful, and you’re living the American dream, right? You’re attractive, popular, and well-off. I’ve always thought that was the recipe for happiness if there ever was one.
So get a maximum wage! It can’t be that hard…
And, well, there’s always room for improvement. Not to sound ungrateful or anything, but there are so many things I would simply love to have, and don’t have. Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is no such thing as a happiness recipe. You can always have something more.
Its fine. I don’t even really listen to myself when I talk, so I don’t really expect anyone else to. I have actually been trying to go just that…come out an experience things…but I never know exactly what to experience. I’ve got parties and making friends…I bet someone like you would know how to “live life to the fullest,” right?
So if you were me and you were coming outside for a day…what would you do?
Wow, your mind must be quite complex if you can manage to rattle of 100 words a second and not even listen to yourself! I’d say start with the small stuff. Go into town and buy yourself a Cartier watch or something, then treat yourself to a massage at a spa. Afterwards you can get started on really socializing and, as you put it, ‘living life to the full.” But what do you mean, someone like me?
Don’t blame me though, living the life of the rich and fabulous is taxing on your time. I do envy your simple, straightforward lives.
I absolutely do know who you are - even though you probably don’t recognize me. I’m Jonathan Bell, by the way. It’s okay if you don’t remember my name. Nobody does.
Don’t knock the hole until you try it. Granted, mine is really messy but you’re really pretty, and also not insane which means that I’m doomed to put my foot in my mouth and make you hate me in the next few minutes or so. So it’s just easier to stay in the house and not get my hopes up. I never works out, ever - for me, that is.
Sorry Jonathan, you know how it is. So much to see, so many people to meet. Names tend to get a little bit blurry, I suppose. But I’ll remember from now on.
Aand.. I’m sorry, your words sort of all got jumbled up in there. From what I gathered, there was something about feet and messy caverns, which are so not my thing. I do wish I could spin off words as fast as you do though. That’s a skill I’d really like to have. Hey, just like you said before okay, maybe I was listening a little, don’t knock it before you try it. Come out for a day and experience the splendor of the world.
Man, I really need to get my hermit-napping under control. Is it just me or are there more girls out than usual today?
Oh god. I should go back in before I make a fool of myself.
Honey, there’s no way I would be coming out of any woodwork. Don’t you know who I am? 
But in any case, don’t go back inside! Life’s too short for hiding in a hole.
