Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own
The greatest skill you can acquire is to learn to have a really good time by yourself.
And that does not mean binge watching Netflix, or scrolling on social media. That is you trying to escape yourself and your life. But spending time doing things where you are actively involved like cooking, playing music, reading, learning a new skill etc.
People who can do that well also make for great friends, colleagues, neighbours. Their cup is always full so they come out into the world with good energy. They are not seeking someone to make them feel better, instead they are the person who makes everyone else feel good.
not enough people doing things for the love of the game anymore
too much money, status, politics involved
ultimately you should just do things cause you like doing things
modern dating is going out with someone and having the most beautiful night of your life for 9 hours thinking you met your wife then they ghost you the next day cuz they got the ick when u sent them an apple music link
Unrelated but read few times back that toxic women measure love by how much they are allowed to inconvenience their man.
And ngl experienced in over the years.
