Sometimes I wish I could have stayed friends with my real life friend from years ago, but I suspect she was losing interest in the things I still enjoy. I wasn't exactly a good friend to her either, although I didn't realize it until it was too late. I have no idea where she is now.

Being a virgin doesn't carry the stigma that it used to. In the late 90s early 00s you were tarred and feathered for it (hence a certain pointless movie about a 40 year old). Nowadays, I feel most people would just shrug and say "fair enough" - especially in this day and age where personal experiences, life goals, and having a good time, take priority over romance for a lot of people.
Or are we just older & no longer exposed to it..........?
At our age when most are married, those who are virgins are 20 years behind (even behind those who waited till marriage) so it's an old joke that's not funny anymore.

Incel I see frequently as an insult when I browse social media so there must still be a stigma to those who don't want to be but can't.

But no one in Christ is an incel.

There's a bit more to incel than that. It's a term given to an online subculture which frequently expresses very negative views about women.

That doesn't mean that the label isn't at times misapplied, but it's usually not used simply as an insult but rather as a criticism of things a person may have said.

If I knew at eighteen what I know NOW (the faith, wisdom etc) then I'd have "stuck to the plan" - as I firmly believe, I'm following a plan now. One that was always set for me from before birth. My "wild" years were between 2008 and 2012 - long before I'd found a faith. And to tell you the truth, I barely remember any of it (which shows you how unimportant of an era it really was.)

I think you know my thoughts on the incel thing. It's a choice just like anything else. If you see yourself as something, then you'll inevitably become it - which is a mantra that applies to anything. Yes, you can even be a billionaire if you want to - or a homeless person in rags. It's that simple, you literally "think" it into reality.

Are you following "the plan" though? Debatable.

Welcome to "The Plan"...!

I had a journey to before my birth when I hit 33. It was out of space and time. I died or almost died and discovered that my present life is a resurrection, biblically speaking. It was like I passed the second death or many deaths. My concept of life and death changed. That changes everything. Yes, I'm following "the plan" to the best I can.

Revelation 20:6. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

Love your avatar by the way. Is she from one of those Pixar movies, perhaps?
Thank you. It's from the Disney movie Moana. I loved the movie and her character. They say version 2 will release this year. :)

Oh, I remember that, now. I'm surprised I haven't seen it myself yet; it seems like it'd be my kind of movie, with cute heroines and all. ^_^

That's what I liked about her character. She is cute and brave. She saves her people like a knight.

Always was drawn to such heroines in fiction, I must say. ^-^

Actually I tried out some AI art for the first time not too long ago, and with a text description brought one of my favorite personal character creations to life, a girl named Gwendolyn Jersey Heartshorn who while actually a magical girl - and not a knight by profession - becomes known as the finest knight ever living by her fellow townspeople for the deeds of kindness and bravery that she came to accomplish in the course of her story.

Wow. I never tried AI art and I actually like the candles on the floor.

I should probably wear something like that for my wedding while also looking feminine, considering marriage is a war of love.

:satisfied:
