That's something I can't understand.  Because the thought of having sex with a man disgusts me.  I'd never want to change what disgusts me in order to do it.  Plus I imagine there'd be possible other problematic things in that area for me like increased risk of STDs and so on.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

I'd choose to prefer productive things over any other thing at all times.  I'd be fucking -rich- by now if I was -always- working.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Men are different than women. That's the best that I can explain it.

But in all seriousness, I find there's a particular mindset I can develop where I'm the best possible version of me and I just keep being that for the sake of it - well, at least in theory. I don't know why I can't get myself there but I do know it's within my powers. It's like anything else you do in life except this is supposed to be constant and universal. You push past the difficulty and you keep going... Forever.

I'd like to get the motivation to get in that place, mentally. The rest will follow.

IKR?!?  That's pretty much a service I provide myself at present...but it would be nice if it wasn't even required, lol.

That's the beautiful thing about it. Once you master yourself to that unbelievable degree you can, in fact, do anything. So long as it's possible , anyway. But the point is I think most of us don't even use half of our potential.

RE: If You Could Choose Your Own Desires
I'd say I'd want to increase my desire to become successful and learn and do the things I want to do atm. However, I don't complain at my current state since I'm happy, but there's always room for improvement.
