You are a person. A breathing, hurting, longing person. And you deserve to be loved not when you’re easy, but especially when you’re not. You deserve to be held when you’re messy. You deserve to be chosen even when you can’t offer anything back.

Ethics is about seeing yourself more whole so you do not betray what you love through confusion or cowardice.

Being a slave to your desires and instincts is not freedom. True freedom comes from taming your animalistic urges and transcending the primal, amoralistic condition imposed to you by your imperfect human nature. We’re all inherently flawed and prone to degenerating to a lesser, nihilistic, dehumanized state of being. Self-imposed discipline from adhering to higher spiritual teachings (or even to a secular, yet ethically firm philosophy of life) is a never-ending struggle for self improvement and human completion.

You’re better than that, King.

Don’t let the AI read or write for you; unused muscles are quick to atrophy. Above all, seek wisdom.

don’t look for a relationship, look for truth

Walk more slowly if you can

you might find your mental health improved by accepting the hopelessness of your situation, and the unlikelihood of it ever improving
