Better than sex
I have known it for a while, but have purposefully refused to acknowledge it - the worst part of my depression is knowing the fact that she's moved on and I - no matter what I do- just cannot! I am at a standstill sitting on the edge of the Niagara Falls. I just wish somebody would simply push me...
Most of you probably are reading this post because of the title and not because you are simply concerned of my welfare. So for those of you, behold: it is best that you learn the truth now - there is nothing better than sex, except probably:
- Licking the bowl after you've made that yummy chocolate cake
- Finally getting your turn to pee after holding it for an hour during the football half-time
- Nuzzling the ear-bud in your ears after a long hot shower.
Most of you will still find sex better. Well, who am I to argue?
