Topic 4: Love at First Sight
Do you believe in love at first sight?
I guess so, sure. Whatever works for you. Myself, I don't really believe in love at all. It's certainly never happened to me. But if you want to pretend that shagging means something more, something deeper than just getting off, if you want to call that love, then I'm not about to stop you. It's just a crutch, though, a way to get you through life without killing yourself from the fucking bleakness. Some people, like myself, take drugs to make life more bearable. Others, like yourself, perhaps, tell themselves lies to achieve the same effect. So maybe I'm an escapist, maybe I'm not out there facing up to reality, but let's be honest. Neither are you.
