And all this to say, I am still pro-romance and pro-love. What I am against is losing course, something which I myself have fallen victim to and which I have seen all too many men with limitless potential around me fall victim to themselves
You are not an ornament for some foid to wear on her arms. You are a man with a destiny which requires you to act on every desire burning in your heart that you have buried away
You must never goon. You must not engage in anything masturbatory. You must not fill desires which exist to push you towards growth with sedatives that stunt your development. Dream of omnipotence
If you’re unhappy with your current situation in life I can think of nothing short of picking up a drug addiction which you could possibly do which could be worse for you than GETTING A GIRLFRIEND
And the drug addiction is an apt comparison here, as for all intents and purposes she may as well serve you the same purpose
Like the drug addiction she will sedate all of your desires, and while she may briefly make you feel invincible, slowly she consumes you until you become her—at least if you have not built up a strong enough self and position in life (which if you did, you wouldn’t be unhappy about your situation)
Bit by bit the embers of the spark that was the raging flame within you saying “EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE” will lose their glow, and not only will you lose yourself to this cold comfort
When she inevitably leaves the ashes that remain of your spirit to go feed off the warmth of another you will be left a hollow shell of yourself, because you filled the swirling void in your soul with another instead of filling it with the realization of your hopes and dreams which it was desperately craving
