Failed relationships. Sure, some people have had far more of these than others, and some relationships end far worse than they should â but no matter what â youâll survive. A failed relationship is not the end of the world. Maybe youâre just having bad luck, or maybe you just make really bad decisions ⊠probably the latter. But for the sake of todayâs lesson, letâs pretend youâre not a terrible judge of character. Letâs do this by meeting a woman who â like you â also suffered from bad luck: Her name was Violet Jessop, and she survived not one, not two, but THREE fucking shipwrecks. No, not those shipwrecks you consider dating material; weâre talking about actual ships â not dicks. You see, Violet was a stewardess/nurse who spent her life at sea. In 1911, she was working on the luxurious RMS Olympic (at the time, the largest of its kind). However, proving size doesnât matter, the motion of the ocean took over, causing the Olympic to collide with another vessel. The good news, despite suffering significant damage, they made it back to port without sinking. Unharmed and without fear, Violet got on with her oceanic career. (Her first wreck was kind of like your first serious relationship: not ideal, but nothing too traumatic.) In 1912, Violet was on the Titanic. And, we all know how that voyage ended, but Violet survived as she was rescued from Lifeboat 16 the morning after that iceberg meeting. (Leo should have got in her boat instead of holding on to that damn board.) In 1916, Violet was on the HMHS Britannic when it sank in the middle of the Aegean Sea following an unconfirmed explosion. Was THIS the end? Nope. Violet jumped out of a lifeboat to avoid being swallowed up by the shipâs propeller and, once again, survived. At this point, most people would be like, âFuck this, Iâm getting a job at a bank,â but not Violet. She wasnât about to let past experiences affect her, so she got back to shore and back on a boat. Not retiring until 1950. Well, you just learned some history. Youâre welcome. Now, if Violetâs story sounds like your dating life, that sucks, but youâll survive. Just flag down something better next time â maybe something with a job. #SUNDAYSCHOOL
