This is for all the non-monks out there

I was just thinking back how much pressure I put myself under to get laid, especially when I was younger. Almost to the point of depressions

Now having had a few experiences I learned the urge is never satisfied and that most of the time getting a girl has more to do with your ego than actual pleasure

I doubt many people get depressed when we try to learn guitar or pick up a hobby like rock climbing and are not doing as well as someone else

By all means, learn some game in your spare time, hit the gym, improve your style but avoid putting all that extra emotional pressure on yourself, most created by society, to gain validation from the most vapid creatures on this planet

I feel more validated if a stray cat comes and rubs up against me on the street
