How I feel right now
Real Life experiences and the need for social approval.
The only ones who do not seek social approval are those who
have it.
The same goes for attention, power, wealth, and knowledge.
In Solomon’s book of Proverbs, I encountered the light about a man through
desire separating himself to seek and intermeddle with all wisdom and it struck
a chord with me.
Emotional life: The earlier years of my emotional life were
fraught with negative emotions that I have come to identify with relationships,
although I now understand why this was so – my own emotional life wasn’t the
best and this reflected in my actions and attracted all the things that I
didn’t want in my relationships. I feel relationships – the deep ones – make
life better (I don’t feel this, or else I’d have been in a relationship..duh
but I have the head knowledge). Women are just going to externalize all their
feelings and if you have something in your feelings that you’re secretive
about, you’d better steer clear.
Men are many things but women still have a sounder knowledge
of how emotions and feelings work, I mean you see how women can conveniently
hide the birth status of their children only for the men to find out in
unexpected ways – in short, except a woman says her secrets or God reveals
something to you (God doesn’t give a damn tho’, the woman is the man’s problem
or solution), men would be in the dark. If one is used to the status of girls’
being emotional and stupid, one would be shocked to encounter women who are
knowledgeable about kinds of stuff – this can be quite intimidating.
My mother did a good job in terms of upbringing, I wish it
went way better but then my mum has a more enhanced masculine side than most
women do, which means that situations that could have been settled quite softly
had to be battled out. Every man’s idea of women is generally built on the
ideas he has of his mom. I’m not a guy who needs women to fall sick to reveal
his softer side, I’m not that guy and I am just who I am… whatever that means!!
Well, life took a different turn and that was good, the only
stuff I seemed to have any iota of feelings for was the public attention, but
then it got annoying because it was simply translating the vibe of, getting
Teeman’s attention means that you have to go public – crazy kinds of stuff! I
was able to get rid of that obsession and now what I have sole feelings for is
me. I used to think I was not like every normal kid and thought it was a
problem but it wasn’t – apparently, it’s my thinking that it was a problem that
made it a problem.
On Social status and power
I do have these stuff and while I do appreciate the goodwill
they bring, the truth is these graces don’t bring joy in themselves, but they
can open doors that will culminate in joyful endings and so is every other good
blessing out there – intelligence, beauty, etc
I think what keeps me on top of my game is knowledge.
My life indeed took a turn after my service year, I got
better against all odds while losing all I previously had – I knew that new
wine have to be put in new bottles. I run on different programming now, and
sometimes I look at folks who run on the programming I deserted and wonder if
they are indeed happier. But then nice pictures and positive public announcements
to the whole world don’t translate to happiness especially if your posts don’t
gain the traction that you were looking for then it becomes a case of the
handshake extending way beyond the elbow. I just traded whatever was
superfluity for my happiness which is paramount. Better deal plus I think I
already saw it all.
(The Betas et. al wonder why the Alphas don’t give a damn
about these things, ain’t that why they are Alphas? If you don’t give a damn
about something, either it’s beneath you or you’re beneath it)
Relationships especially when it is romantic are initially
sweet because they are new and newness has its sweetness. It also provides a
companion who can be a human mirror reflecting yourself to you and magnifying
whatsoever emotions one had while single. How one acts in his own family is
literally how one would act in a married relationship. Again, I don’t feel the
need for a relationship but I know that once the feels come, a relationship is
going to feel like the best thing in the world. The feelings surrounding those
who are in a relationship right are probably not-as-bright and that’s why the
married want more of the unmarried to get married so that they can be a
beneficiary of the feelings that would emerge by proxy. I feel this game is a
zero-sum game and really… fuck relationships!!! (PS; this is just the state of
my mind right now, nothing personal)
My last relationship just revealed how emotionally primitive
I was and this is a bitter pill for a guy like me to swallow but that showed me
how much I wish to not be in the game for now. The feelings are still there,
and here am I thinking that more years would at least make me better off, but then
I found it hard talking about my fears, waves of anger, and all because I felt
and knew that it could be used against me so I keep a sealed mouth. Fuck the
bullies!!! Fuck the bastards who use every opportunity to get something out of
the unsuspecting. Like really, after all your antics and tactics and a lost
war, when you get into that scary place you call your feelings, how would you
even feel good? Impossicant!
Well, I’m not interested in sharing my stories with anyone,
If I was to even share my story then that means that I really do like and love
you and I’m not even sure yet if I do. No one indeed loves their children more
than mothers but yeah, I’ve got nothing to say. For sure, whoever knows loads
and loads about you holds some degree of power over you and when you have this
authoritative bent in you, you tend to view simple things quite differently
“honey please help me carry the vegetables downstairs and bring them up,
afterward help me warm the stew” can be seen as “Have I become her servant that
she’s ordering me around?” Now, you’re not thinking of whether she’s tired or
she’s fagged out, you’re only in your feelings.
{I think I know why those who write the best romantic books
or scripts for the best romantic movies around don’t necessarily have good and
sound marriages… I mean, see me saying stuff I ordinarily would not think of
doing normally – I hate to be ordered around actually, quite a different case
if you’re higher in authority than I am}
What people say about me is based on who they’ve observed me
to be over the years but I do have the creative power to craft a new definition
of myself, the thing is if you don’t define your reality, society would do it
for you & this is difficult because it takes loads of courage to define
your reality.
How to define your reality?
This is made possible by giving out everything good from you
till it becomes established in reality. Elite status is attained once this is
done, life naturally rewards you if you do or plant something good into its
garden.
