7th Wheel

Yes, you read it right. 7th wheel. Not third wheel and also not 5th wheel. And definitely not the type of wheel that destroys relationship. I guess this is what has become of me ever since I become single two years ago. It's not a big problem for me though. I have gotten a little used to this kind of set-up. With most of my college friends being in a relationship, I have been branded as either the 3rd or 5th wheel. This time around, I'm the 7th wheel. I think I'm leveling up. Hahaha! Who cares, really? Well, I really do sometimes. HaHaHa! So how did I become the 7th wheel? Well, we were invited to the birthday of my friends boyfriend so I texted my college barkada regarding this. But the only people who confirmed to attend the celebration were my two girl friends who were in a relationship. I kept convincing my single friends to join us but unfortunately, they can't make it to the party. So that's how I became the 7th wheel.

At times, I am bothered by the thought that up until now I still haven't found myself my significant other. Although I am not in a hurry to be in a relationship, being surrounded by people who are so in love makes me feel sad that I don't have someone to cuddle with. HeHeHe. It seems such a petty issue but its hard to ignore sometimes. Having been in a two long-term relationships, there are moments or even situations when I wish I still had or already have a boyfriend.

Here's a picture that shows the moment where I am the 5th wheel:

And here's another picture that shows me being the 7th wheel:

Well okay, the last photo didn't really show me being the 7th wheel. It was because the boyfriend of my friend was the one taking the picture. HeHeHe.

I hope the next time we'll be having a beach party, I already have someone to tag along and cuddle with in the beach. And I also pray that starting this year, I will not be branded as the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th or whatever wheel anymore. Because I truly believe in my heart that one of these days, I will finally find my significant other. 

For the meantime, I will still continue to be the 3rd, 5th or 7th wheel to my friends who are in a relationship. As long as they won't make me feel out of place or totally ignored. :)

By the way, the night before the beach party, my elder sister asked me why I was going to the party knowing that I'll be the only one without a partner. I answered her with a question, "Why shouldn't I attend?"

I answered her with that question because I couldn't find a reason as to why I shouldn't attend the party. It was, afterall, a birthday celebration. Not a couples retreat or a couple's gathering. And besides, I was going with my friends. I'm confident that they wouldn't make me feel lonely or left out. And that was  what exactly happened. I had so much fun and the food was uber good.

So to the ladies (and even gentlemen) out there who are in the same situation as I am, CHEER UP! There's nothing wrong with being the 3rd, 5th, or 7th wheel as long as you're not destroying a relationship. It can be fun most of the time. Plus, it gives you better perspective of the kind of relationship you want to have when the day comes that someone will win your heart. xx
