Males and Females

You'll meet the perfect person who you love more than anything, you even argue well and you grow together, have children and get old together and then shes gonna die. That's the best case scenario. That you'll lose your best friend, walk home from the super-market every weekend and wait for your turn to be nothing also.

If your goal is a happy ending, you're gonna have a bad time. The ending is a minority of the story, and if you focus on it the whole time, the story's gonna fucking suck.

Picture it like a book. It can be 300 pages of a myriad of amazing experiences ending with death, or it can be 300 pages of "they're gonna die" written over and over and over. Which would you rather read?

You just have to accept that from the get-go that you are going to suffer, experience pain and lose those you love. You're gonna get hurt. You're gonna hurt others. We're all mortal and all relationships and states of affairs are finite. Resisting or demonizing these facts is fruitless and will get you nowhere.

Embrace mortality and finitude and appreciate the fact you're able to genuinely connect with someone at all, whether it's for one day or 25 years.

Well put.
 
I agree with cf. One regret I have from my time in the Marines was I didn't fully appreciate the good times I had from a perspective of their finitude.
 
You guys aren't really saying anything I don't already know. And you're all right, but fuck, what a bunch of twats! I thought I was on a metal forum, fags. Cynicism motherfuckers, get some!

Kramp, you are the definition of a serial monogamist. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Metal is about strength and nobility, not about breaking down every time something goes wrong. Go join an Elliot Smith forum if that's what your looking for! :p

And for the record, I know a guy in his 80s who lost his wife last year. They started dating when they were 18 and 17 respectively. He's back out there dating other geriatrics now. It's all about the perspective you choose to take toward life and that's true when you're 20 and when your 80.
 
You just have to accept that blah blah blah, blahblahblahblah

Oh is that what metal is about :lol:.

I'm not asking for your help bud, but thx. Nobody here is breaking down man. I'm just talking/typing out loud, it's a bit dark but I'm fucking around, relax.
You seem like a sincere nice dude. You're just a little too wide eyed for me. We obviously have different perspectives so let's just leave it at that.

Don't worry, I assumed you were being tongue in cheek and not in the middle of a serious dilemma and I was certainly doing the same in that last post.
 
1349/Averse Sefira tour with Goatwhore in 2007?

Re: serial monogamy I know, I'm so bad at it. I did the whole "date other guys" thing while PP and I were starting out but I just didn't like them as much.

If I lived in a less...dead zone for hot smart dudes (e.g. a bigger city) I think I would always have three or four boyfriends at a time.

You better be careful. Most guys probably wouldn't react well upon finding out that information.
