I have a pessimistic view of relationships. My view has always been that you talk about it with your friends, you scheme, you plot, and you see psychoanalysts. You see marriage counselors, get medicated, do everything they can, but in the end you have to luck out. It’s complete and total luck.
I qualify in a broad range of 20-somethings, in a city that holds a bulging population of like minds. On an unnamable threshold, I continue to mourn the old man and make the conventional mistakes of the inexperienced, the utterly ill prepared.
