After several moodswings and angry walks home, countless cigarettes and cheap bottles of white wine, I just scuff at how I try so hard to prove myself to others. Specifically, proving I'm a good catch to members of the opposite sex. I go above and beyond only to end up at square one after every failed attempt. I can pay for all the dinner and movies in the world, I can buy endless amounts of gifts, share all my Marlboro Lights and walk a triumphant amount of kilometres to be with someone only to get nothing in return.
So, now I impatiently ask, when is it time to just give up? When can one accept that it's game over?
