I’m interested in finding a “life partner.” I imagine it to be fulfilling and joyful.

First, though, I need to figure out how to be by myself—how to be perfectly content with my current station in life, in spite of the world, its truths, and the fact that the Four Noble ones all center suffering.

I don’t know if I’ve experienced suffering—true suffering—the kind that is so viciously unccomfortable that Noble Truths have to get written about them—in a while.

I never wrote any rules for myself. I’ve never been able to say exactly what makes the “right” things right.

For example, I was using commas before I learned grammar. For the most part, I knew where they were supposed to go. (I still don’t quite know where they’re supposed to go. I know a few rules, but most of the rules are not at all clear to me, and the process remains mostly intuitive.)

That’s the key: living intuitively, doing things how you please, and all that jazz. That’s the final thought for the moment. No additional thoughts have entered yet. There are no additional thoughts yet.
