Diamonds Are A Guy's Worst Friend

As long as possible live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you are committed to a farm or the county jail. - Thoreau

people can be so nosey

they said he had a fear of commitment

but the fact was that he'd given half the women he'd been with a ring

around the bathtub

and the other half a ring

around the rosie

Author's Note

"Methinks I am never quite committed, never wholly the creature of my moods, but always to some extent their critic. My only integral experience is in my vision. I see, perchance, with more integrity than I feel." - Thoreau

Poor him, it seems he didn't find the right one yet. people often judge according to what they see in their heads, while the truth is known by only the holder. read this one few times, I found many layers to be explored in these lines.

a bit of silliness to fit my mood. actually, i'm the opposite - wanting to spend all of my time with her and rush to the alter. you are correct as you know me by know - usually layers of meaning like an onion in my writes. thank for the pleasant visit ... :)

So he is the playful one, it can be yes... I thought it can be too that they all rejected him lol

One day You will be the Groom don't rush 😊
