On-screen text
What do you mean you want to travel,
but you need travel buddy?
You want to watch a movie,
but you, none of your friends are free,
so you cannot go. You want to go to a restaurant,
you want to go out and eat,
but you cannot go because you don't have anybody to go with you.
And you think it's sad to be eating by yourself.
I even heard somebody say
one day that solo date is performative
What kind of life are you people living?
Your life will just be
determined by somebody
else's programme
and somebody else's schedule
and their decisions, God forbid.
