and then i make a vow not to get emotionally entangled in anything

Let me tell you, it is so much easier to focus on school and work and so on when you're not stressing out about how someone else feels or thinks about you. Now I remember why I like being single and intending to stay that way- because you're not out to impress anyone else but yourself. And you can just hang out and jill off if you want to.

So, I hereby promise myself that I will not actively look for someone else to crush on, be infatuated with, or otherwise donate emotional time and stress toward, until such point as I see fit to allow myself a little romantic playtime.

D'ya hear that, me? I mean it this time.
