>>24462123love or lust? what is it you're seeking? is life worth living without at least one genuine romance?
i don't envy your situation, nor do i try to downplay it. but the world is not so bright over here, either.
if you want my honest, unsolicited, and slightly drunk opinion, it's all dogshit. maybe you'd find what you're seeking here. but more than likely you won't. you'll find a herd of vapid, attention seeking whores that see you only for your body and who'll leave you at the first disagreement or the slightest sign of imperfection.
better than a bullet in the head, to be true, but equally lonely.
i do not wish you ill will. i hope that in your fantasies that idea of love persists, as it does for me, but it is almost an impossibility.
