Why We Need Sappho to Just Chill Out

It is no secret that Sappho is obsessed with the idea of love as of recent. The Lesbos native literally has been blabbing about love nonstop in her writing like a pathetic lovesick puppy.

"For when I glance at you, my voice fails me. My tongue is locked and silent, a secret fire at once runs under my skin. With my eyes I see nothing, my ears thunder, a cold sweat pours over me, a shudder seizes me all over, paler than dry grass I am, to myself seem to be near death."

WTF Sappho?! No boy should make you feel dead or like a lifeless mute. Come on....

She also mentioned something to a friend about how the fairest sight is what one loves a source tells us. Sappho backed this up by saying "For she who far surpasses all in beauty, Helen, abandoned her husband, the best of all men, and sailed off to Troy. Neither her child nor her parents did she think of at all..."

Sappho, you can't just think that Helen ditching her husband and starting a gigantic war is some sort of beautiful metaphor for following the love of your life. For all you know Helen was a conceited jerk trying to make her hubby jealous. LEAVING YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR HUSBAND FOR ANOTHER RANDOM GUY IS NOT COOL OR BEAUTIFULLY POETIC SAPPHO.

Also, what is with Sappho and virginity? She was spotted lamenting to a maidenhead about quince-apple tops ripening and trampled hyacinths leaving stains on the ground. Did someone make her feel bad about losing her virginity? Maybe this is her way of telling young girls to save their virginity, but I mean that is quite the depressive metaphor about love-making from someone so obsessed with love herself. People lose their virginity and sleep around all the time, I mean have you seen our culture?

Sappho has been a little crazy lately with all these writings and metaphors and who knows what else. Seems like she needs some love detox and to maybe try something else in her love life because these men obviously aren't treating her right.

Sappho, we need you to figure yourself out and chill.
