old jaded birdmad (post_romantic_stress_disorder)

since all the bad genes in my family have convinced me that i'm not likely to make it too far past age 50, i'm having my middle-aged-crazy now.

i've reverted back to what i was like before i became a college drop-out:

brief and mostly painless infatuations here and there along with a few occasional one-nighters with an option to revisit.

all that "falling in love" noise ever got me was thrown under a long string of buses (of the single and double-decker varieties)

pobodys nerfect For me personally, i'd say:

~sleep. For long periods of time, and often.
~i also try to be gracious when kind friends give hopeful compliments about what kind of a person they feel i am. I try not to absorb any of it anymore, because deep down inside it's always there--that undeniable knowing feeling that some people just aren't meant to ever be happy that way

pobodys nerfect Piffle. Whenever i give up, the whole process eventually just repeats itself all over again.

I don't want to bullshit myself into believing it'll happen anymore, and it's not coming from a pessimistic or bitter point of view either; i just want to be realistic and start mentally preparing myself for the very real possibility. I hate it when people lie to me, and before now *i* was lying to me. I'm not going to do it anymore.
