The lunch was nostalgic and good fun, memories and catching up was had. Alas, she’s already seeing someone. Bumming, but what can one do at that point?

It hurts, but there’s nothing and no complaining for it. Just holding it in nice and tight to yourself. I don’t think it gets easier; rather, you just get desensitized to it after an arbitrary number of times. That’s fair and life. I put my best foot forward, and my next best foot after it.

Which all ties into my choice song today: Don’t Hurt Yourself.

I’ll be alright. Might go to the bar later.

So it goes. At least you had the chance to catch up, which many of us don’t get.

Don’t worry about it man, plenty of fish in the sea.

This reminds me of a story! I agreed to meet this girl for lunch and she decides to drive. We’re barely off the campus when she mentions she has a boyfriend just as I’m mentioning where I’m from, etc - he works in the same geographical area as where i’m from.

Ouch. But what can you do about it? My other friend suggested going for it, even after she got engaged but I don’t think the sexual harassment violation is worth it.

I seemed to relate more to old school Marillion with Fish, but then again, I’m old.

You never know what might result in the long term from having had lunch with her today. Not that you should hope for or expect anything from this, but maybe she won’t be seeing that someone forever, and will remember a nice lunch with you, and . . .

That’s a pretty intimate relationship thing to discuss at a lunch.

If it’s any consolation, at 22 I hadn’t even met the woman who will someday become Mrs. Chuckles. So just because you haven’t met the right person yet doesn’t mean that you never will.

Live and die, I’m alright if it doesn’t happen. I don’t believe in empty guarantees. Truthfully, in my world where friends new and old are in relationships, getting engaged and married left and right, it isn’t much consolation.

I appreciate the effort in trying to cheer me up though.

You’re right that I don’t know, but you’re also right that nothing should be hoped for expected from this.

This is bad advice

It seems to come in waves. I wasn’t trying to guarantee anything or promise you that you’ll find someone, just sharing an anecdote that it’s possible to meet great people for the first time in your mid-twenties.

That wave hasn’t come yet.

I meant that other people getting into relationships, getting married etc. comes in waves. It might seem like everyone you know is in a relationship, but 5 years from now you might be part of a group that’s mostly single. I’m 32, and currently my 5 best friends are all single. 4 years ago, most of them were in relationships.

I do think that it’s important, and you might already be doing this, to live for yourself. Do things that make you feel good about yourself, spend time with people who reinforce that, and don’t base your self worth off of the opinions of others.

That’s all I can do. No one else will live for me, so I have to. At this point, I don’t give a damn if relationships happen or not. I don’tand can’t understand any of it. If it doesn’t happen, no one cares, I sure won’t. I’ve wasted time trying to understand and wanting to feel things I’m not meant to feel because it never amounts to anything no matter how long it takes.

Bring on WW3 and all the nukes for all I care. Or maybe I won’t feel this way tomorrow.

I hope you don’t feel that way tomorrow.

What makes you happy? What do you enjoy? Based on your existence here, I’m guessing something car related, but what specifically? Do you like driving cars, fixing them, photographing them, or collecting them?

I like all of that.

Alright, but is there anything that you love so much that it makes you forget about a shitty day? For me, that’s driving my Miata with the top down, either on twisty backroads or flying down the highway at night. That car is therapeutic.

I haven’t got one of those things actually. Driving always clears my mind but I never forget how shitty the day was. The 911 and 924 are on jack stands and it’s salty outside. My Mustang isn’t nearly as therapeutic as those cars. So right now I haven’t got anything that makes me forget the day, I don’t think I’ve ever forgotten a day before.

It can be especially tough this time of year when the weather is too shitty for spirited driving.

I don’t mean to imply that I forget permanently about my troubles, but in that moment I can not let them bother me. I can sometimes find the same feeling at a really good concert. In fact, music is usually integral to the driving as well.

Then I’ve never had a moment like that before. I’ve never had a moment where my troubles or emotions didn’t bother me, no matter how therapeutic the drive was. Almost all of my music is very emotional and deep feeling so that doesn’t help.

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you can find something in your life that can bring you that kind of happiness.

I need to go pass out now, so don’t think that I’m ignoring you if I don’t respond. I’ve been around here for a while, and I know that you have too. I know that you’ve had your fair share of struggles over the years, and I hope that it gets better. I don’t think that I said anything tonight that other Oppos haven’t said at some point, because we care about you.

I understand if you don’t want to hear what I have to say, but it can get better. I’m not saying that it will, but it can. I know that it can because it got better for me. If you want to talk some time through another channel, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. Goodnight K-Roll.
