if you find yourself caught in love

the only freedom that you'll ever really know, is written in books from long ago

it has been determined that, while lonely, life with a +one would be infinitely more torturous. how sad. it's a terrible thing to realize, tbh.

there's just no way to win with the rules we've got. it's easy to say that you'll make your own rules, and it's harder than anything to walk alone. but the compromise turns my stomach. giveth with one hand a taketh away with the other. i've already got one example of one terrible marriage, two mediocre, and several mediocre-at-best relationships. i've yet to see anthing that ever made me believe that 'love' is enough and real enough to overcome everything that's working against the pure supportive union of two souls.

don't mind me, i'm just going to be over here practicing for the future.
