The unfunny April Fool's Day blogpost

So today's April Fool's Day. Happy April Fools if you're into that sort of thing. But before you start pranking and teasing, I just wanted to cover some (love-related) huge no-nos. Might seem kind of obvious to you but honestly, you'd be surprised how many idiots still follow through with these anyway.

I know there are plenty of others; eg anything related to death that shouldn't be put into the context of a joke anytime, anywhere. But again, since this is mostly a love-feelings blog, we shan't go into anything too heavy and as I will only be covering 3 aspects of the whole "Do-not" list, you may have guessed that they are related to love.


1) Do not joke about confessions.
If it seems insanely hilarious to you that you should "confess" to that girl whom you know harbors feelings for you on this particular day, then you should honestly slap yourself. Are emotions a joke to you, my friend? Are feelings something that can be manipulated into laughs just for your own selfish pleasure of saying "April Fools" and laughing cruelly in her face? Does it make you a better person to watch her face light up then crumble and break? If so, I have no qualms about saying that there's a special place in hell for you.

Put yourself in her shoes. You've been admiring, crushing hard on someone from afar for so long. It seems impossible that they may EVER notice you. All day, all night you dream about hearing them confess their mutual feeling for you. Imagine how you would feel. Go on, close your eyes and imagine. I think ecstatic would only begin to skim the surface, wouldn't it? Then you watch as your crushes' face lights up with the most twisted grin and you hear the words "April Fools" come out of their mouth. You stand there, wondering, if it's a joke. You watch them laugh, high five their buddies. It's a joke. It was all a joke. Love isn't a joke and isn't meant to be a joke. But they turned it into one.


2) Do not joke about breaking up.
Maybe you're in a relationship and for April Fool's you wanted to play a prank on your S/O and somewhere in that prank involves the words "we're breaking up." There is a lower level in hell for you.
First of, why would you ever want to intentionally hurt your S/O? If you find it funny, well, may karma one day get back at your own.
And secondly, why would you ever want to ruin the trust and the bond between the two of you. Even if you meant it as a joke, your S/O would be left wondering "Did he really mean it as a joke?" Do you want to live with the knowledge that you intentionally nailed that bit of self doubt into a once steady and strong wall of trust?
If you've never been broken up with before, let me enlighten you. It isn't funny, whether it's a joke or not. It's scary and it's terrifying and it's the only thing that can make you feel as though your whole world is coming down on you and is enclosing you and everything you knew has shattered. The best part? It's a very literal feeling.


3) Do not joke about being pregnant.
This is to all the ladies in relationships. Do not joke about being pregnant. Chances are, he's gonna run as far as he can. Oh wait. You meant that as a joke? Oh, ha ha. Oops, he's already gone.
You have no idea how many women out there are actually trying and failing to get pregnant. And here you are, joking about it like it's some casual thing. Why would you even consider it funny to joke about life? Why would you joke about forcibly tying someone down through "pregnancy"?
Truth is, it could go downhill for you too. Throw in this joke and your man could start thinking that he might not really want to spend the rest of his life with you. He may not want you as his baby's mother. And just think, you started this off as a joke.


I'm aware I can be rather snarky or accusatory but it only goes to show how deeply I feel about topics related to love, emotions and relationships. I want the best for everyone who actually deserves it and I don't want to see relationships or 'what could have beens' get destroyed because of a moment's folly.

Prank all you want, but think before you prank.

I am no expert and I would like to hear your opinion on this post. What are your thoughts on this? Did I miss something out that you think I should have most definitely included? Leave me a comment, drop me a message. As always, think with your mind, live to your heart's desire and love wholeheartedly with your soul. 

Lots of Sugar,
