Barriers to Entry Volume 4: Love

Yes love. That magical word that makes us giddy when young and robs our bank account when we are not much older.

Love, despite its wonders, can be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It can send you on the highest of highs; can make you float above rational reality and even bring you to a beautiful union of sexual intercourse.


However it can also blind you, leading you n an exciting trail of discovery only to find out too late that you were actually going down a dark alley where you are left alone with your genitals locked inside a steel box called emotional trauma. Furthermore, the person who led you there also took the key.

This is the double-edged sword of Love.

To be fair, neither of these is my story, though I do know a good number of people who one of the above scenarios could describe.

My story with love is much more beautiful, but at the same time, much more tragic.

The most dangerous combination in this world is not cola and Mentos nor is it drinking beer and rum, no, those only give you some temporary discomfort, heck they may even kill you, but there are worse things; things that make people long for death.

The worst combination is a heart that falls deeply and fully in love and a brain to rational or stubborn to take action. This is a wretched mixing which will ruin your heart and leave you cold and alone. It will cripple your will and empty your hope. It will suck out your soul, your life, and your purpose and leave you alone at the end of a dark alley, your genitals in a locked box whose key is lost forever.


And this is the ultimate, “barrier to entry.”









Note: future entries will turn to lighter subjects, namely The Awkward Adventures of The Mormon Virgin
