anyone ever notice that being in love feels almost exactly like the early stages of food poisoning?

last night i drank unjustifiably expensive cocktails in a strip club with a friend & we kissed in the taxi home. are we in love? do we depend on each other or are we just mutual enablers? aside from our shared interests in self-destruction, 20th century literature and the inherent absurdity of the world are we not two people trying to reach out across an unbridgeable gap, trapped in our own bodies no matter how much we fuck? are other people actually possible?

btw love starts when you put the feelings and desires of somebody else ahead of your own, and work to give them the best life they can possibly have. a thankless position really, unless you're fortunate enough to have somebody who feels the same way. your path of meaningless, selfish hedonism is a one way ticket to endless misery and loneliness, hope you're excited

maybe youre looking in thewrong places and should sleep (methodically) with all your male friends



i dont have very many male friends actually. one or two of them would probably be up for it but i just don't really have any inclinations in that direction

you're right, hedonism alone isn't selfish. but methodically sleeping with all your female friends in a quest to find "love" sure as shit is selfish and hedonistic

i keep falling in like with girls and then we develop a friendship and i get sad and depressed because i want something romantic and they dont, and then im torn between just grinning and bearing it like nothings wrong, or cutting them off for a while because its bittersweet and painful to hang out with them. in the past ive always gone with the former but its happening again and im thinking i should try the latter this time as a change of pace? and is telling her how i feel just a bad idea, or a terrible idea? oh and i work closely with this girl five days a week

the worst part of being in like is feeling compelled to post e/n posts

how undialectical. the correct course of action is to abandon the search for true love and instead to focus on your career and improving the lives of those around you, and those around the world. it is in this very radical absence of seeking of love that is required for love in the romantic sense to exist. that is to say, you are always already eating from the trash can of true love all the time.

probably find someone else who is actually sexually attracted to you & try to be a good friend rather than lusting hopelessly over someone you can't have
