I've been working on it for a few years, so here's the big announcement:
I got my degree and I'll be giving consultations.
I'll offer a few sessions in exchange for donations to TRP.RED. A chance for members here to sort out some things, while supporting the platform.
PM me for details.
I've likewise had women try harder when they thought I had a wife/girlfriend at various times in my life
@Vermillion-Rx most backed off when they saw the ring, but I made it obvious that I was making sure they saw it.
Some saw it as a challenge to overcome.
Broke another scale at the self checkout
2y ago my FWB said something so stupid [or rather attempt to exert control she didn't have anyway], I have kept the message at the top of the stupid things list, to stumble upon it from time to time to keep me on my toes.
After 24months she said something directly correlating to it in very different circumstances. I chuckled - instinctively. The chuckle at this moment was odd so she asked me why?
I have proceeded to "destroy" it, by exerting as much self amusement as I could naturally come up with. Changing subject and moving onto previous topic.
I think timing was perfect. Execution not bad judging by aftermath.
This song gets more relevant the older I get. Stay on your journey gents, all you have is yourself and probably your closest bros or family of you're close enough to them
I needed this post. Maybe it will help someone here, too

In a way they are already washed before you build them.

The problem with Nihilism - it properly identifies that nothing leads to nothing, then tries to remedy by pretending something is permanent for a while.
"Yes all sand castles will be washed, but invent your own"
The trap is in the "but"
Evasion.
It makes you sad? you still didn't understand.
What do you think is ending?
Where do you think you are, exactly?
It makes you sad that you can't grab it forever - you're missing the whole point.
"My legacy!, my relationships!"
It's all gone already. Which is why you keep holding them.
What do you think is ending?
This is your kinder-garten.
Your choices and actions are not supposed to ripple to infinity and have actual stakes - and that's the point.
You're here BECAUSE it's impermanent.
You're free - while dreaming of being trapped.
Impermanence is the GIFT.
You're FREE.
The power is NOW."
