To all the romantics...
Dear Blog Diary,
If you were to ask me if I want to go to Japan, the answer is always yes. It’s never no. Does it bother me that I’ve never been there or I’m not there? – Very rarely.
That’s how I feel about relationships.
Truth be told, I often wonder if I’ve become too set in my ways. I live a full life and it’s efficient as hell. I’m truly happy and it doesn’t take much. The only times I find negative effects are when I’m doing or experiencing something incredible and it’d be nice to share it. Homies are great but it’s not the same.
I imagine this is how John Mayer feels.
Treacherous waters we all swim in and I can’t imagine either gender is really happy about it. Dating apps are unhealthy so that’s out. I often wonder if most men even like women. Don’t even get me started on the red pill dudes. And ladies, when you’re facing life’s hardships with a man, trying to communicate and trust and put in the work of a relationship – do you really think it matters if he’s tall?
We live in a weird time. I often choose to not participate. I wonder if that’s a mistake. It’s not like I don’t want those things, all the gooey bullshit. I’m positive that I’m no picnic at times but companionship is dope. The thrill of asking out a woman and the early stages. To be of service to her, support and encourage, the whole gambit. High enthusiasm, low expectations, and then, don’t take it personally. If I had a nickel for every time a woman found me unattractive…they’d probably start finding me attractive.
You can be bitter. Rejection sucks and even worse when you feel like you’re invisible, not unwanted – You’re not even worth noticing. I empathize, not sympathize, with anyone who feels that way. I've often struggle with a quote I heard, "if you were good enough, you would've done it already." To you, reader, if I'm the first person to tell you this today, you're enough you're beautiful and you've got a whole lot to give.
Still, I'll leave you with a metaphor:
Better aerodynamics, carbon frame, upgrade your tires – the fastest way to make your bike faster, is to pedal it faster.
