Before you laugh, ask yourself how much of YOU can be seen in her here. She’s reflection of many of us dudes at 28.
So many of us stumble around, jumping from one quick-fix after another, never really taking true control over life. Sure, most of us aren’t taught how to use our own agency aside from “follow your passion“ or “you can be ANYTHING you set your mind to!!!!*” but at the very least men have a robust internal compass that can help us navigate life even bereft of companionship, support, or external guidance.
But Women are even worse off, not equipped with that same grit and self-determination that we have. But society pretends they do, their mentors, teachers, and mothers (fathers, in the rare instances they’re around) expect them to show the same level-headedness of a guy tossed out on his own. So they throw their daughters to the pirhanas of life, expecting them to find happiness alone and vulnerable.
This society cannot stand. People like this simply can’t support a world on their shoulders.

I don't.
I know this is a cliche, and normally, I would even call it anecdotal low IQ take. But I know enough women of strong character to know, that they aren't "that retarded". They understood the results of their actions. They did know where it is going to lead them. They just didn't care.
But to not care and to not understand are completely different things, and I am not capable of feeling sympathy for people who didn't care.
@LukeAlmighty @monsterislandcolonizer So many of these decisions are ignored because people can silence them with the comforting dull of drugs and vice. The thrill of sin overpowers the soft sensation of sorrow, the high of addiction quiets the spooked part of the soul that knows the damage as it’s incurred.
That’s why so many are getting mental Rx’s, drug addictions of every stripe. It’s why weed is totally commonplace now, because they’re trying to run away from their conscience. It’s why they hate silence, it’s why they won’t look a righteous man in the eyes, it’s why our culture has built up a constant drumbeat of noise.
No one in america is at peace with their own soul.
