Icon T + 1month.
This phone is like a toxic relationship. Devastatingly beautiful, my Icon continues to seduce me with the promise of what she can be while continually letting me down with what she does and what it fails to do.
Well-meaning friends are telling me I can't keep living this way. They point out that I have stopped doing so many of the things that I liked to do. They have invited me to get out and try a new app, but my Icon will not allow me to do so.
I try and tell them that we have some tender moments together, and they all understand when they gaze at Icons' delicate figure and beautiful display.
Then they remind me that she refuses to carry an SD card, and that she is lazy, and has to take a nap by the afternoon and recharge or she will nag me incessantly and finally leave me alone when all I want is to be out having fun. I shouldn't even bother to take her out at night, I know, but secretly I want to show her off and have everyone understand.
I try and rationalize that Icon didn't have a good upbringing. She had one good parent and one that... Well, lets just Icon didn't learn all that she should have from Microsoft.
She says that she will learn. She wants to go back to school and get her 8.1, but I don't know if I believe her rosy predictions. She was originally thinking April, but that seems sketchy, and it could be late summer before the material is available to her.
And even then, 8.1 might not be enough. I want to leave her, but Icon always convinces me to stay. She is a beautiful underachiever, and I know I am giving her time I might never get back. My friends are all passing me by, and I am afraid I will end up alone with Icon, just the two of us, and she will never do anything unless she wants to do it.
And yet, I still feel I will follow Icon and ignore my instincts. I want so badly to believe in all she promises me.
