R.N.D.
I've got a bit of a case of the "I Just Don't Know Anymore"'s tonight.
I understand and acknowledge that is quite the cliche, and that it implies that at some prior stage I did know, something, at least (a claim I am far too self-deprecating to make). That said, it seems that 10 years ago I was much more self-assured, and even assured in general that it was all gonna be OK.
Now, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the reason you feel like you know what's going when you're young can generally be attributed to the fact that you and your life are so far removed from what is actually going on that your brain can't compute the true nature of it all, but I mean really, I'm not that old, and this current state is getting beyond a joke.
I had dinner with a dear friend last night, who as it turns out, stands at a similar crossroads to me, and just as stagnantly too. She theorises that there's quite a lot of us in the same boat, it's just no one likes to talk about it, if for no other reason than it's so fucking petrifying.
Call me an aging sentimental fool, but when you're standing at the crossroads and there's no traffic in sight, it's comforting to know that a little ways behind you someone else is looking in all directions, and they can't see shit either.

If you had your binoculars I am sure you could see me behind you.
Top post.
Hmmm...If you can't be with the one you love...love the one you're with...cause it all about sex and death in the end...well that what I figure anyway.
Interesting theory mert.
Perhaps if I found the 's' key it would be easier to understand. Contractions were never my forté.
Beware the post-Woodford blues, my friend! They can be killer... and they do pass.
You are an aging sentimental fool...
But I see some merit in your theories and will be subscribing to your newsletter
