Serendipity
I like ‘locked up in all your heartache’, because most people are so afraid of getting hurt again that they wont let something beautiful happen to them. Like they’re holding themselves back from what they want because they’re afraid because of something else completely.
You know, that was something else. And, this is something new.
That’s most people’s problem. They hold onto their past experiences and they relate them immediately to their direct situation. I mean, do you see what I’m saying? I’ve been learning a lot of things about women recently. It’s just like, every girl immediately, even if they love you, they meet you and they feel like they could marry you, like one of those ‘love at first sight’ things, it doesn’t matter. They’re going to be so afraid of that. And in most cases they’re gonna fuck it up, because they’re so afraid of:
a) The chance of getting it right; or…
b) What just happened to them before happening to them again.
When you find a girl you have to, like, figure out a way to prove to her in some non-conventional method that you’re not going to be what she just had.
And I don’t know how to explain it any better than that.
It’s like you have to convince her that you’re not that. Like, hold on, in other words. Guys I don’t think hold on very much. You know? You do a little bit, but you have your ex-girlfriend and you’re not applying what she did to you to the next girl you meet. Like, “Oooh look at this girl!”, you know what I mean. It’s just like immediately a clean canvas. I think girls paint over their stuff, they never use a clean canvas.
