Should I have a girlfriend? When will I have sex again? Am I not attractive? Why aren't there anyone making a move on me? Do I deserve to be love? Will I ever have someone I can open to? What type of woman should I go for? Someone who turns me on? If I get in a relationship, maybe the sex will be bad? Isn't this all too confusing? Can I simply be celibate for the rest of my life? That would feel good Maybe I should become a pimp? Trading protection and drug for sex, keeping thing simple. Am I too cerebral to have good sex? Should I be more stupid? Stupid people do more sex, but I don't think they can enjoy it as much. Should I become an addict? I would probably worry less Will I ever be loved again? I should probably get laid, it will fix all of my problems. All these questions, rolling in my head, triggered by my confused and drained mind. My energy leaks into giving attention to all these girls. Non-verbally they are seeking approbation, I'm constantly looking, growing tired by the minute. Zoe of them all, pulls in my attention the most. When I look at her she looks back, fixes her hair, stop for a moment. There is a freeze in time. We barely know each other. We talked twice. There is something in her seeking something in me. My potential is high, yet my head is confused. I have to change my practice if I want to enjoy these type of events, reflect as I go, practice presence, fill myself with light and fill the others. At the end of the month, there is another festival, but with a more open culture. I feel there will be less 'attention for the sake of attention' and more 'attention for a desired connection'. I feel that this will be less draining, making connection, openly sharing desires and fantasy. As I cultivate my energy, I feel a lot goes to my head. It creates anxiety and makes it uncomfortable. Do I want this or that? Should I go for this or that? What about this? There is an underlying desire for something that I don't truly grasp. I wish, I want, a feeling of not having what I need. But I can't logically find out what it is. As if it wasn't a mind thing. Similar to a nervous breakdown, the mind doesn't help much in these situation. The mind cannot resolve the nervous imbalance, it can help calm it though. Maybe when I am in my head like that I simply need to ground myself. Which is what I am doing right now. Being alone, downloading my mind into the machine, in silence. There is nothing to satisfy, there is nothing to do. Flag when the mind is unstable. Stop, slow the breath, focus on the feet, on the roots.
