So I hate to admit it, but I must be honest. It will be hard to admit, but the first step to recovery is admittance, right?
Okay, so… here goes. I have a parasocial relationship with Aubrey Drake Graham.
Awful right?
But, I must admit he has taken over my life. At first, I thought it was a simple attraction to an attractive man, but boy was I wrong.
It all started with Degrassi (a Canadian show revolved around high school students)…
The relationship with me and my future husband began slowly. I realized I may be forming a relationship with his character, Jimmy, with the introduction of the school shooting episode. In this episode, Drake becomes paralyzed due to a disgruntled student with a gun. As soon as I heard the gun shot and saw him fall to the floor, I felt water. I thought to myself “It isn’t raining”, but I soon realized the water I felt were tears falling from my very own eyes. I was crying over a man I didn’t even know.
But it gets worse…
Soon after the show, Drake became an award winning recording artist. And our…er…I mean my relationship with him grew stronger. Suddenly, I found myself jealous when he got a new girlfriend and imagined that every song he wrote was about us. Once, I even contemplated missing work for the opportunity to win tickets to party with him at a club in Indianapolis.
Not that I have admitted my addiction and all the issues it causes, will I ever give it up?
Probably not.
After all, true love is forever.
