Yeah, All through high school I was focused on 'other things' besides women. It wasn't until I saw someone that I felt something inside me click and say, "YOU NEED HER MORE THAN YOU NEED FOOD OR SLEEP!!!!!"
It wasn't until the relationship ended that I truly felt alone but, that feeling passed. And now I am just me, open to everything happy and sad but, not really looking to summon the feeling of being lonely.
