Back again.

Well, once again, I'm back. I just got out of a year+ long relationship, which was amazing overall. The main lesson I learned from that one is that long distance relationships just don't work. period. Maybe for some people, but definitely not for me. A good lesson to learn.

So now I'm back again, unfortunately I'm kind of feeling like I'm starting over in that I've been out of the game for so long. I honestly forget many of the lessons I've learned over the last few years and can barely approach women anymore. Ah well, I guess there's always time to fight back to the surface. So now I'm dedicating myself to posting my successes and more importantly, my failures, so that I can learn through analyzing these experiences. After reading over my last posts, it's energized me and motivated me once again.

Here's to new beginnings.

I've been reading a lot of Kurt Vonnegut and Chuck Palahniuk lately, (by the way, stop reading only pick up stuff, read a good book once and a while), and I realized the other day why I admire their writing style so much. Kurt Vonnegut and Chuck Palahniuk have many similarities, but the one that strikes me as most admirable is that they both just don't give a damn what anyone else thinks of them. They both create and pour their souls into beautiful writing that often offends and disgusts, but is renowned world wide. They write not for the fans, they write for the love of writing, not giving a damn what anyone else thinks. This is an important life lesson as well.

I'm not saying go crazy and run naked around the streets, a little social grace is often important, however, loving and accepting yourself for who you are, and not basing your self-image on what other people think of you is an incredibly important characteristic. It is also one most all of us struggle with, myself included.

Think though, about the people you admire most, and the most successful, genuine pick up artists, are they ever self-conscious? Do they ever worry about what other people think of them? Probably not.
