It might start making you appreciate homo eroticism. Did for me and im straight. Honestly hanging with your bros seems really cool, and their passion is admirable.

I think it would only further make me pine for an existence well away from any reality I could conceive for myself. I've had two mortality scares and lived through the experience of the existential dread of fading away, watching as resentment harbours when your faculties are no longer of use to those you thought offered unconditional love, but rather, a transactional relationship dependent on your provision of labour. I am sad to say I have perhaps lived some of The Death of Ivan Ilyich, and my worldview painted black to know I am not alone in my experience, nor can I seemingly change it.

I am thus lost on tales of bound love.
