Reviewing past flings, I realized how I fell into a trap of girls that had mastered the art of hiding the 1000 cock stare, as we call it in these parts.
It didn't even need to be a girl that had slept around a lot. Sometimes, it's girls that held off, but when marriage didn't happen in their early 20s, they caved and lost their virginity to the wrong man, and were hurt so severely that they cannot truly love again.
But, in the pictures I have with them, it's there. The smile missing the participation of the eyes. The "toleration" glare. It's all there.
I used to take these sorts of things personally. Now, I know it's not about me.
It's about what they've been through.
To further derail, I'm completely out of the loop on this Coachella business. Coachella, what's that?
Regardless, I've met women, the majority of which happen to be eastern european, although there are some plain old american girls that qualify, who get past this "reliving our glory days", and who would still make good companions. In fact, I know a few of them that realized the sand was almost out of the hourglass and they latched onto the best man they could find, got hitched, and popped out kids.
They were never the best looking girls, but they could make up for it with pleasantness and hard work.
The male equivalent of the same is a middle aged man always looking back to his highschool days as the best time of his life. Al Bundy provides a more humorous example:
In both cases, male or female, neither person worked hard to keep the motion in their life.
It's easy to look back to the past with a maudlin glance, as these women have, or in an ostentatiously overly sentimental anecdote to a son. The real effort is overcoming the urge, and making a better life using the past as a lesson.
The past is at best a lesson. It cannot be re-lived. Make the best of the time you have, and carve a way into the future.
Change, adapt. If the past contains your best memories, and you are not making new ones now-- if you are not waking up in the morning awaiting the adventure that comes-- you are in a rut and need to clamber your way out.
