Well first off...hello. Complete new guy here. Was searching the forums here to find some answers to questions i've had about previous relationships. Never done anything like this before in my life. I'm pretty introverted so yeah. Anyway, while looking i found this topic and it struck a cord to say the least.
I think i've long since given up on a certain type of love. There's young love and lasting love. Lasting love, to me is something that has the potential to last through older age because of the mutual satisfaction and agreement two people have. Young love, in my opinion, is something that has a definite life span. Only because of its very nature. Its young and most times, even though we may not think so at the time, very unstable. Hormones and hearts..blah blah.
To be fair, yes a bit of young love is needed now and again in lasting love. Just like they say though, too much of any one thing can be bad. But as far as young love goes yeah. I have totally and utterly given up on that. Think i may be giving up on lasting love as well. There's just so many different ways lasting love can be negatively effected that i'm surprised when i find two people that have actually been able to make it.
As for compensation. Well i think i've compensated the absence of lasting and young love for art. A while back ago i use to wonder how anyone could really "love" their job. I mean its a job. How could anyone really have that much affection for something they have to do to survive. Keep in mind that at the time i was working in a menial labor job lol. So that kinda explains that whole temperament right there. I'm getting into photography right now and i honestly can't see myself going through life without at least a disposable camera lol.
The one thing that has consistently carried me through life is goofiness. Sure there are intelligent laughs and uber sophisticated laughs. But nothing on this planet will surpass laughing at a bad pun, fart joke or just plain slap stick humor.
As for spending my last days alone, well, might sound a bit depressing but i'm kind of expecting it. Have no idea why.
I don't know, personally. Family and friends would be more than enough for me. I just don't have that privilege most days.
Creativity keeps the forlorn and self-pity at bay (for the most part). There is nothing in this world like building something out of nothing.
Haven't always been single, i've loved and lost lol. I wouldn't say completely that they loved me back. At the time sure, i would have said yes without an afterthought but looking back i can see that their affections were placed elsewhere.
Guess that's my formal introduction
(i feel soooo naked now lol) Oh keep in mind that this is the first completely personal forum i've ever posted on lol.
