Romantic Schlock

What a bunch of romantic schlock! The truth of the matter was that my life at that time was almost totally devoid of sincere romantic feeling. After high school I messed around in various jobs and schools for another twelve years. I couldn't seem to find a place for myself. I couldn't get married, because of these nagging homosexual desires. And I couldn't act on the desires, because that would have made me a horrible person, or so I thought. So instead, I just sat in single rooms and played my guitar and sang to myself. A couple of times I almost committed suicide.

I have to tell you that I always had a circle of good friends around me. We laughed and joked, played cards and tricks. Yet they never knew how tortured I was. I was alone. Society said men of my ilk were no good, and I agreed.
