Love?

These are some quick comics I did while eating some delicious food.

It may seem odd that a person who is self-proclaimed to be incapable of love would write comics about it. The truth is that I am quite capable of loving other people, and I do it quite fiercely. Love is integral to my life, and it defines every interaction that even remotely matters to me. Love is everything, and I could write about it all day. It is all-encompassing, engrossing, and far more complicated than simply romance. I am, however, incapable of loving someone romantically. I don't know why. There are just some things I can't do. I can't play sports and be expected to contribute in a serious game, I can't spend all day writing computer code without wanting to throw the machine out the window, and I can't maintain a romantic relationship if I am being honest with myself. It doesn't mean I can't love in general, and it doesn't mean I don't appreciate romantic love in particular. It doesn't even mean romantic love isn't appealing to me. It just means that I accept that romantic love is not the answer to my fulfillment as a person, and, therefore, I don't need to feel bad about myself not being able to honestly pursue it.
