Confused love with complicity

I have confused love with complicity…

I was so above-other-people that I was complicit with noone.

The reason XXXXXX was so amazing was not that we connected exceptionally well---

It was that I was impressed enough with her 'credentials' that I opened my ears, believed that what she said meant something. I believed, for the first time in weeks, that she was as good as I am. She was the only girl I was complicit with for months! Everyone else… I lorded over them like a caped hawk. I believed, because XXXXXX had told me, that I was the best. That I was the best. That I was the best person my age that our country had to offer. Obviously I was better than the rest of them. This left very few people for me to associate with on an equal footing. This left very few people for me to learn from. This left very few people for me to BE with.

It left me alone with my moneygrubbing desires.

Now I am free.

Humility is not made moot by ability.
