Over the past several months, I would notice that my mental health would erode upon exposing myself to the dating game. Admittedly this manifested from repeated failures and being "stood up," to which I would be told "well you just got to keep trying."

Oh? Try to get something I'm not really sure that I want in the first place? I've been fortunate enough to have experienced sex and love and all that jazz, but it's not what life is all about at the end of the day. I have experienced far more benefits from pursuing personal projects and goals, rather than being a tryhard in order to get attention from girls.

So, I'm done. The grass is far greener on this side. Health and happiness above everything else, and trying to get a girlfriend contributed to neither. I'll choose to keep my sanity.
