One of my friends scarred me for life. Emotionally, and almost, physically. It’s been a year since the event, and everyday, I am still very, very, affected by it.
Just a little over a year ago, I would pass around my soda with a group of 10 people and still sip on it very comfortably. Now, I do not even touch anything that someone has placed their mouth on. We live in New York, a coffee is like $99 dollars , but never again will I share a drink that has the potential of affecting the rest of my life.
One year ago, my friend with a cold sore history asked to drink my water. I gave it to her, and proceeded to drink it afterwards.
Soon after, I feel a weird bump near my mouth.
Crying on the public van, I realized: Life is over, this is it. Once cold sores KO’s you, it will forever claim you.
Good thing life is filled with second chances; because as it turns out, it was just a pimple. It went away the very next day!!!
I am Herpe-free, and really really hope to be for the rest of my life. Though we all know, it’s always the most careful ones…..
Wish me luck, xx
No.
This monologue was certainly different, and I think that’s the best part about it. She makes a seemingly normal scenario to a very dramatic life event in how she starts the monologue. I think this is unique in how it shows her reaction to events in her life, and shows an aspect of her identity was well.
So this might be something very strange to say considering the topic of the monologue, but I found it very cute. Whether it was because of the suspense and relief or the delivery of the speech, I’m not too sure. The speaker also became so open to us, and focused in on one moment so clearly that it was very easy to listen to and read.
