Many people encounter what they think is "love". I feel I have encountered loves twisted sibling. My life has not been full of great moment, according to my standards. This true tale that I will bring you from the deeper regions of my soul, to me is a great moment for the human spirit.
So there I was, 21 unemployed and depressed. It was the summer of '99. I was just finishing my junior year of college. My body was of pain and ugliness. The previous semester had taken its toll. In my words I was nothing to brag about. I felt my mind was my only good point, but having just a C average wasn't my idea of something to positively focus on. My parents were at their wits ends with me. I guess living under their roof for the last 21 years had made them bitter. I had a social life that was non-existent. My "friends" were just a collection of people whose goals for life were getting drunk high and or laid. Well since two beers made it impossible for me to drive, and drugs were money I didn't have, I was the only overweight jobless dickhead who was under the impression he was going to get laid at will. To be honest I never thought this to be possible. I only made this up to get my friends from picking on me and making my self-worth even lower.
I spent most of that summer working around the house, keeping my mother from having a reason to kick me out. Evenings were spent hanging out with friends going places that didn't interest me. My nights would usually end with me crawling into bed after a cold shower and jerking off onto an old shirt. I would sometimes cry and wish I were spending time with someone who really cared about me and wanted me to be around. I escaped into music, some nights I couldn't fall asleep unless I had my headphones on. I would listen to music and daydream about a life that was so distant from mine. These dream I was king. Pretty girlfriend. Great job. Friends, who I didn't have to call in order to have something to do, this may sound like hell to you but the scary thing was that I became this fake person.
