Dimensions and Girls

Dimensions and Girls

I have recently come to the realization, that despite my lifelong aversion to math, dimensionality has become very important to me and my understanding of my place in this confusing world.

I know what you're thinking, "Duh, Sydney the world is totally full of dimension." No, that's not what I'm talking about. Let's refer back to our high school English classes. Ok so in a book our characters have differing levels of dimensionality. A real simple character comes off flat, undeveloped one-dimensional. These characters almost don't seem real or at least they seem unimportant.

In life flat characters don't seem to get such a tough break. At least not the girl ones. There are two girls at a party (in focus), and bothare pretty and pleasant, but where is our difference? What is the distinction? Dimension. Because one girl is 1D, the other is 3-4D. 1D girl is charming and unchallenging. She laughs at your jokes, acts just drunk enough to be charming, and touches you just enough to leave you wanting more. Meanwhile 3D chick is a whole different ball-game. She asks you about your family, what inspires you, and who you want to be.

So who wins? What is the outcome? Well, truth is friends, 3D girls are amazing, they are the girls who inspire people to be great. But they do not quickly and easily fit into your car, your bed or your life. And 1D girls are as easy to carry around as they are to understand. (Or at the part of them they want you to see). So 3D girl gets passed up, goes home alone. Or she gets chosen just long enough to scare the crap out of some boy who thought he was ready, that he wanted the real deal.

So what's a 3D girl to do? Try to shave herself down to simplicity? No, take solace dear sister in the truth once discovered in high school English. The heroines, the relatable, most beloved characters are the ones that feel real.
