"You Fcuked Up"

I am currently spiraling down the Marissa Cooper realm. Dedicated OC fans will understand this a little better than the norms that lived less fulfilling lives by not tuning in every Thursday night to catch Orange County drama. Luckily, you have me to give you a breakdown.

In season one, she befriends Oliver Trask who she meets at a psychiatric office, which should have been enough of a hint to Marissa, but her good-nature taught her to think otherwise. Her friendliness and openness caused him to become absorbed in her life and focused on spoiling the relationship with her boyfriend, Ryan Atwood. This unhealthy obsession Oliver has for Marissa is revealed when he threatens to kill himself if Marissa “leaves”.

In season three, Marissa meets Johnny Harper who helps her progress from the troublesome events that occurred when Ryan found out his brother, Trey, tried to rape her. The camaraderie that Johnny offers Marissa is something Ryan cannot give as he, too, is still shaken up about the measures that were taken. It was Johnny’s accident, in particular, that caused the two to grow closer as Marissa felt accountable and felt it her responsibility to get him back on his feet. In this time, Johnny falls in love with Marissa who responds by revealing she will never reciprocate those same feelings – only for him to go on a drinking binge and fall off a cliff.

Poor girl. The mere innocence of a friendship that grows into the legendary unrequited love is a situation that some may know all too well. My only hope is that none ended with any potentially disastrous or successful suicide attempts. However, the virtue of amiability that you manage to master is often the grounds of which causes a rift between you and your guy friend. This may puzzle you but the simple principle is that the piece that’s missing is feelings that compliment his own.

This commonly awkward situation results in the theory: “Women and men can’t be just friends.” This is disputable but is frequently the circumstance when it comes to long-term friendships between the opposite sexes. This is due to how much both partners are involved in each other’s lives; from their hobbies, interests, routines and personal attributes. Since you do know so much about each other, you use this information for your personal gain in order to be a better friend. This special effort, however, is unluckily what brought you here. Here, being the Marissa Cooper complex.

You continue to remain nice and pleasant, in attempt to play a naïve character but you don’t have everyone fooled. Reason being is that some have cued in to what our subconscious fiend asked you to do from the beginning: 'String them along, you like the attention. You deserve the attention.' Now you’ve got a hunch about what is happening but you prefer to remain in denial about it instead of saving yourself from this convoluted mess you’ve created.

But that’s deceitful, is it not?
Welcome to collateral damage.
