My apologies for making a post that started off singularly for my love interests. I have met someone, courted, and married. With the Feast at hand, I am happy to extend this thread to all who seek love, affection, or simply a weighty ball and chain. My original message below:
Good day, fine evening, and for all times in the crepuscular between–a general Hello,
I appreciate you finding yourself here, listening to me now. While I am most certainly honoured by your presence, I hope that something beyond curiosity has brought you here. I hope that you are, as I am, seeking a certain feeling–one that (and please pardon my blasphemy) is a stronger compulsion than even Mr. E----, himself.
I have found myself desiring to follow this force; peruse it; pursue it.
In the past, I found that I could quell this desire by satiating one of my more basic, id impulses. I would fulfill this fervorous stir through nights at the honey-dens or through various city vices. However, this feeling has blossomed into something more than a simple, unaccountable peckishness. I have a desire for a partner–one with whom I can raid the brass embassy, assuage the Masters of the Bazaar, and climb the ladder of society. It is true that I actively seek to rub elbows with the powers that be; however, during my time in this dreadfully magnificent city, I have foremost sought to attain and maintain my wholeness (to the greatest extent possible, of course). I have never lost my way to Jack’s Knives; I will never forsake my tiny roof-top friends; and I most certainty will never let those dastardly devils take my most prized possession. My desire to be a man of power comes second only to my desire for maintaining my wholeness, and right now…
I am incomplete.
If you, too, feel an incompleteness about you; if you, too, feel a stir within you to seek a partner, then please do not do either of us a dissatisfaction. Respond, so that we may explore a realm that, as yet for me, is entirely unknown. I desire an acquaintance that can evolve into an engagement, and while I have my definite lines in the sand (i.e., selling my soul), I am not bothered by the most petty of distinctions, like alliances, agendas, or genders.
Thank you for your engagement, and I hope that one day, I may utter this phrase again.
Insatiably Yours
