But for the next ten minutes, I refuse.
Why are they so hard to understand and deal with? Why can't I have one for my own? Why can't I just find some guy to be happy with?
I feel as if I put too much effort on my part. I get ready for a while. I wear my best clothes, I wear my best cologne. I do my hair and it looks damn good. Yet you don't notice me.
Is this all I have to look forward to? A life of always striving and trying my best and never attaining happiness? Am I damned to live a life of sorrow and loneliness?
Boys suck. And I don't mean that in a good way.
The cynical part of me wants to say yes, if you believe everything Bruce Hafen said in his Evergreen Conference speech, then yes, you are damned to live a life of sorrow and loneliness.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't believe that. And I see lots of evidence around me that it isn't true. So buck up, Andy. Most of your life is still ahead, and I think there are probably lots of wonderful surprises in store for you.
He's out there, somewhere, probably wondering why nobody ever notices him.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, there are probably quite a few hims. Eventually (possibly sooner than later) one of them will cross your path.
A friend of mine was complaining to me several months ago... He sounded a lot like you, and he was ready to quit even trying. Less than a week later he met a guy and he's been very happy with him for almost six months now.
Patience. :)
Thanks, you guys! I was just having one of my "girl" moments...but I feel a lot better thanks to your great advice and assurance! Love you!
