...give it up.

Trying a bit hard, sometimes. But it's something you have to do.

Sigh. Sad but necessary. One goes with the flow.

drawbacks...

Sometimes, people think of some things as drawbacks.

Things like the protracted period before things start to work.

Things like having to rinse, wash and repeat.

Things like people trying to insinuate themselves into your life.

Things like being gassy.

Things like a chance that something might not go as planned and you end up dead.

Granted, if everything goes well, I'm very sure it's a good trade-off. And for some, the drawbacks might actually be desired effects.

fleshly concerns...

Trying something new. If it works, best 300 bucks I ever spent. If it doesn't, most unnecessarily arduous month ever.

Don't wish me luck. Wish me success.

the man/boy who sat still...

And so it was that the man/boy learned something.

It wasn't a lesson that the other people usually took away from something like this. Usually, they'd just try again.

Naturally, for someone trying so hard not to be the same, trying so hard not to be different, he would take away something else.

That someone/thing wasn't for him.

The man/boy decided then that maybe there wasn't really anyone/thing suitable for him. Maybe it wouldn't matter if there was anyone/thing that was. Lessons learned are rarely free, he told himself. He did not feel like he could afford any more.

Maybe for someone so different and the same, the man/boy had best go everywhere/nowhere.

So the man/boy decided to sit still forever. In that, he may finally find the place where he could be where he was supposed to go.

Some people are in love, others in love with the notion of being in love.
