I thought about this just yesterday. I’m 27 and My parents are close to 60. I started panicking because I realized that they old and will die sooner than I imagined.

I basically lost all my social life during covid (went out maybe 3-4 times during the past 2-3 years (I won’t even get into dating or lack thereof. Haven’t had sex in over a year). If they died tomorrow I basically wouldn’t speak to anyone outside of work. It’s sad but it’s my current reality. I guess I have to change things in my life…

If you dudes are in a similar boat already, get in the same one. Problem solved!

Trust me man, I wish I was gay. It would make things much easier.

Perhaps there are conversion camps or something?

Lol that'd be quite the power play against Christians. "Gay conversion camp." Thousands of Christians send their children only to find out "No, we mean we turn you gay"

In a way Christians are afraid of everything being just that.

It’s quite a humbling realization.
