millennial-review:

I think it’s good and okay to make light of billionaires dying. On its face the act of being a billionaire is inherently violent. Hoarding that much wealth and exercising the power necessary to keep it leads to literally millions of deaths worldwide. It means sitting atop explotative and discriminatory social structures and maintaining them for your benefit. Poor people die due to this structural violence everyday and it’s rarely reported or commented on as such. Billionaires have every privilege and protection in the world and when they willingly decide to traverse to the bottom of the ocean and die in a submarine, you have every right to make fun of them. When they die of old age you have every right to make light of it. Billionaires kill people and they shouldn’t be let off the hook for that just because they die, especially when that death is particularly comical.

There’s a huge difference between being ‘the shit’, ‘a shit’ or simply just 'shit’.

One thing I don’t like doing is holding a grudge.

I’ve known people who’ve held on to grudges for years and it never particularly ended well. I’ve asked them why they’ve held that grudge and it’s usually for a trivially stupid reason.

Also, I’ve noticed that the people that hang on to grudges often don’t look all that good. There’s a saying that I really like: “Hate corrodes the container it’s held in.”

That really is a true saying. Most of the hateful people I’ve known often look years older than they actually are.

When you think like a hateful old man, you start looking like a hateful old man regardless of your actual age.

As nerve-racking as it is for me, I’m finally going to have a one-on-one conversation with the woman from the birthday incident last December. I need to tell her some things to get them out of my mind and soul as well as call her out on some things.

The recent events aside, most of my experiences with her have been mostly positive. The things that led to the negative thoughts I’ve had about her need to be cleared out of my head.

I often let my heart jump ahead of my heart with certain people. It’s a problem that I’ve been working on trying to control for years now, and while I’m getting better at it, there are some women that make me fall head over heels for them.

I really need to stop doing that.

Another thing I need to figure out is whether I even should be more than friends with a woman. If I want to take it further with her, I should be asking myself several important questions.

1. Am I able to give her the love and attention that she truly deserves?
2. Does she feel the same way about me that I feel about her? If so, that’s good. If she just wants to have sex with you and nothing more, you need to factor that in as well.
3. Is she someone that can make me better as a person?
4. Conversely, am I someone that can make her a better person?

Those are the main questions that I need to ask myself about love. There are often smaller questions that are specific to that woman, but those four questions are the main ones that I should be asking.

I will keep working on myself to actually be someone that is actually dateable and relationship material.

Being fuckable is one thing, but being someone that she wants to have as a part of her life is something completely different.

If you want to be something more than a swinging dick she can call on, you have to put the work in.

I’ve really been thinking about some of the relationships and friendships I’ve had here in the past few years.

While I’ve had a good time with a lot of people and made a lot of good friends, I’ve also been re-evaluating how I like to interact with those people for better and for worse.

One thing I seem to do is put whoever I’m close to up on a mental pedestal.

I did this with a woman who I dated about two years ago but maintained a friendship with. I put her up on a pedestal for some reason and kept thinking that something was going to happen between me and her like before. Well, that was a dumb decision.

She was able to move on from me while I was still pining for her in some form or another. I kept trying to force something to happen that was never really going to happen ever again.

It’s only within the past 6 months of no contact with her that I realized I did this with other women I’ve dated. I wonder why some of my dating relationships seem to crash and burn after a while, and this is a big reason why.

Yes, dating and relationships are a never-ending learning experience, but there also comes a point when you actually have to apply what you freaking learned.

There comes a time to move on, and I didn’t get the message or refused to acknowledge it.

I will hopefully talk to this friend soon about what happened in December. I don’t know how it will go, but I know I need to get these remaining thoughts I have for her out of my mind and my soul.

I actually need to apply what I’ve learned and discovered about myself and move on with my life.
