I find myself drawn to this blazing force within meāmy “fiery fire”āa restless, burning energy that I crave to awaken fully. Itās as if Iām seeking to dissolve the frost encasing my heart, a coldness Iāve carried too long, tucked away in a place I call the “void less dark.” That phrase feels right to meāa shadow not pitch-black, but muted, a half-lit emptiness where Iāve lingered, neither lost nor found. Philosophers like Heraclitus might see this fire as my lifeās constant flux, a heat that promises to reshape me if I let it.
But thereās a tension I canāt ignore. This fire I tend, this soul I igniteāitās fleeting. A bonfire roars only as long as I feed it, and my cold heart, my void, they hover close, ready to reclaim me. I wonder if this is what Sartre meant by crafting meaning in the face of nothingāa refusal to let the dark win. Or maybe itās Nietzscheās voice I hear, urging me to embrace this cycle of melting and burning, to affirm myself again and again. Iām caught in that dance, desiring my own renewal, holding my soulās light steady against the shadows I know too well.

The Sixth Tread from āCall Me A.CĀ Green..(Poem): āVirginity as a Gift: Building Integrity for My Future Wife”
“One DM from a girl resembling Vanityā¦ My sex drive is packaged as a gift for my future wifey.” Thatās the line I walkāa fleeting temptation in my inbox, a spark that could ignite my sex drive, yet a choice to hold it back. Virginity isnāt just a status for me; itās a gift, something Iām shaping with every ānoā I say to the now, saving it for my future wife. A message pops up, her words dripping with allure like Vanity, the singer whose beauty once captivated the world. But I scroll past, not because Iām immune, but because integrity matters more. Kantās principle whispers in my ear, and scripture seals it: āHusbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the churchā (Ephesians 5:25). My virginity is a promise, a piece of me Iām building for her.
Temptationās Knock
Temptation doesnāt come with a warning labelāit slips in quietly, like that DM lighting up my phone. Sheās not just a name; sheās a mirror of Vanityāstunning, magnetic, a test of my resolve. My sex drive kicks in, a natural pulse I canāt deny. I could reply, let the conversation flow, see where it leads. No one would know. But I stop myself. Not out of fear, but out of something deeperāa principle Iāve chosen to live by. That moment isnāt just about resisting; itās about building, stacking another brick of integrity for the man I want to be.
Vanityās allure fades when I think of whatās ahead. Temptation promises a thrill, but itās fleetingāa sugar rush that leaves me empty. My sex drive isnāt the enemy; itās a force Iām channeling, a gift Iām wrapping up for someone I havenāt met yet. One swipe, one reply, could unravel that, but Iād rather hold it together for her.
Integrity Over Impulse
Integrity isnāt loudāitās steady, a quiet strength that grows every time I choose the long game over the short one. Kant, the philosopher, talked about the categorical imperative: act in a way youād want to be universal, a rule for everyone. For me, thatās what virginity becomesāa principle, not just a personal quirk. Iām not saving it because itās easy; Iām saving it because itās right, because Iād want my future wife to trust me with her whole self too. Itās a standard I set for myself, a way of living that says my word, my body, my soulāthey all mean something.
This isnāt about shutting down my sex driveāitās about giving it purpose. That DM might stir it up, but integrity keeps it in check. Iām not perfect; some days, the temptation feels like a tug-of-war. But every time I walk away, Iām stronger, more the man I want her to find when the time comes.
Scriptureās Blueprint
Scripture gives me the why behind the what. Ephesians 5:25 isnāt just a verseāitās a vision: āHusbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.ā Thatās the kind of love Iām preparing forāsacrificial, selfless, all-in. My virginity isnāt a badge of pride; itās a piece of that giving, a way Iām starting now to love her like Christ loved. Itās not about rulesāitās about relationship, about showing up for her with something pure and whole.
Then thereās Proverbs 4:23: āKeep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.ā My heartās where this battle plays outāwhere temptation meets integrity, where my sex drive meets my faith. Guarding it isnāt passive; itās active, a choice to protect what flows from it. That DM could crack the door open, but Proverbs tells me to lock it tightānot out of paranoia, but out of care for what Iām building.
This gift isnāt about denying myselfāitās about defining myself. Every temptation I turn from is a step toward her, a piece of trust Iām earning before we even meet. Kantās principle keeps me honest; scripture keeps me hopeful. Together, they turn my virginity into something active, not passiveāa choice I make for love.
The Man Iāll Be
So I let that DM sit unanswered, not because Iām better than anyone, but because Iām building something bigger. My future wife deserves a man whoās wrestled with temptation and won, not by luck, but by principle. My sex drive is hers, a gift Iām keeping safe with every ānoā I say today. Vanity canāt sway meānot when integrityās my compass and faithās my guide.
On lifeās court, Iām still A.C. Greenāsharp, steadfast, unashamed. My virginity isnāt a burden; itās a promise, a piece of me Iām crafting for her, day by day.

“Iām one swipe away from fulfilling my sexual appetite, but letting God take control keeps my soul from going wild.” Thatās the edge I live on every dayāa single flick of my finger could unravel everything Iāve built, yet I choose to hold back. Itās not because I donāt feel the pull; my sexual appetite is real, raw, a wild part of me that roars to be let loose. But Iāve learned that giving in doesnāt tame itāit sets it free in all the wrong ways. Instead, I trust God to harness that energy, to keep my soul steady when temptation presses in. Kierkegaard called this a leap of faith; scripture puts it plainly: āTrust in the Lord with all your heartā (Proverbs 3:5). One swipe could change everything, but faith keeps me grounded.
The Power of a Swipe
Technology has made temptation closer than ever. One swipe on an app, one tap on a screen, and I could feed my sexual appetite in an instant. Itās not just about dating appsāitās the whole digital world, dangling possibilities that feel so easy, so right there. My wild side doesnāt need much convincing; itās ready to run, to chase the thrill thatās always just a click away. But I know where that road leads: a quick high, a hollow crash, a soul left restless instead of satisfied. Thatās the trap of the swipeāfreedom that feels like a cage.
This isnāt hypothetical for me. Iāve felt the itch, the moment where my thumb hovers over the screen, daring me to act. My sexual appetite isnāt some distant thingāitās a fire inside, wild and alive. But Iāve seen what happens when I let it rule me. Itās not liberation; itās chaos. So I pause, breathe, and turn it over to something bigger.
Free Will and the Wild
Hereās the tension: Iāve got free will. I could swipe. I could say yes to temptation and let my soul run wild. No oneās stopping meānot physically, anyway. Kierkegaard, the philosopher, wrestled with this too. He called faith a leap, a choice to trust when every instinct screams to jump the other way. Thatās where I amāone swipe away, standing at the edge of my own leap. My wild side wants control, but free will means I donāt have to give it. I can choose differently.
That choice isnāt easy. Temptation doesnāt just knockāit pounds, loud and insistent. My sexual appetite isnāt wrongāitās humanābut letting it steer me unchecked turns it into something destructive. Free will gives me power, but it also gives me responsibility. I could feed the wildness, or I could tame it. And thatās where God comes in.
Trusting Godās Control
Proverbs 3:5 hits me hard: āTrust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.ā Itās not about ignoring my desiresāitās about handing them over. I donāt trust myself to tame my soulās wild side alone; Iāve tried, and itās a losing fight. But God? Heās got the strength I donāt. When Iām one swipe away, I donāt just resistāI release. I let Him take the wheel, trusting that He knows whatās best for this wild, restless part of me.
Then thereās Exodus 14:14: āThe Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.ā Thatās my anchor. I donāt have to wrestle temptation into submissionāGodās already in the ring. My job is to be still, to stop my thumb from swiping, to let Him calm the storm inside. Itās not suppressionāitās surrender. My sexual appetite doesnāt disappear; itās redirected, held for a purpose I canāt always see but choose to believe in.
Faith Over Frenzy
This is where faith becomes real. Itās not a vague hopeāitās a lifeline when my soulās wild side threatens to take over. Kierkegaardās leap isnāt blind; itās bold, a trust that Godās got me even when Iām shaky. One swipe could unleash chaos, but faith keeps me steady. Itās not about killing my desiresāitās about trusting theyāre better off in His hands than mine. The wildness isnāt gone; itās just not running the show.
Some days, that trust feels like a wrestle. Temptation doesnāt back offāit doubles down, daring me to test my limits. But Iāve learned to lean on Proverbs 3:5, to whisper Exodus 14:14 to myself when the urge hits. Faith isnāt passiveāitās active, a choice I make every time I donāt swipe, every time I let God tame what I canāt.
A Soul Worth Saving
In the end, itās my soul Iām protectingānot from desire, but from destruction. One swipe could satisfy my sexual appetite for a moment, but itād leave my wild side hungrier, more untamed. Trusting God doesnāt erase the fireāit refines it. My soul stays wild in the best way: alive, vibrant, but not reckless. Faith turns temptation into a proving ground, a place where I see what Iām made of and who Iām made for.
So I stand, one swipe away, and choose God over the frenzy. My wild side doesnāt winānot because Iāve crushed it, but because Iāve given it to Someone stronger.

“Day and night, listening to the words of the wise keeps my lust deprived.” Thatās my shield, my rhythm, my way of holding steady in a world thatās always trying to pull me off course. Lust isnāt just a fleeting urgeāitās a force that creeps in, testing my resolve when I least expect it. But Iāve found a defense: wisdom. Not the fleeting kind that comes and goes, but the deep, steady kind I draw from the words of the wiseāmentors, scripture, voices that echo truth. Aristotle saw virtue as a habit, something you build over time, and scripture backs that up: āThe fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdomā (Proverbs 9:10). Day and night, this wisdom shapes my restraint, keeping lust at bay and my soul intact.
Wisdom as My Armor
Lust doesnāt knock politelyāit barges in, loud one day, subtle the next. Without something to counter it, Iād be defenseless. Thatās where wisdom comes in. Itās not just a collection of smart sayings; itās armor I put on every day and night. The words of the wiseāwhether from a trusted friend, a sermon, or the pages of scriptureāgive me something solid to lean on when temptation starts whispering. I donāt just hear them; I listen, letting them sink in until theyāre part of me. Thatās how I keep lust deprivedānot by willpower alone, but by filling my mind with something stronger.
This isnāt a one-time fix. Day and night means consistency, a rhythm that doesnāt let up. Lust doesnāt take breaks, so neither can I. The wise donāt just tell me what to avoidāthey show me what to pursue. Their words arenāt rules; theyāre a roadmap to a life where restraint isnāt a burden but a strength.
Aristotleās Habit of Virtue
Aristotle had it right: virtue isnāt an accidentāitās a habit. He believed that you become what you practice, that goodness takes root through repetition. For me, thatās what wisdom doesāit turns restraint into something natural, not forced. Every time I choose the words of the wise over the pull of lust, Iām building that habit. Itās not about being perfect right away; itās about showing up, day and night, until resisting temptation feels less like a fight and more like who I am.
This fits my battle with lust perfectly. Itās not enough to say ānoā once and call it doneālust keeps coming back, testing me in new ways. But Aristotleās idea gives me hope: the more I practice restraint, the stronger it gets. Wisdom is my training ground. By listening to the wiseāthose whoāve walked this road before meāIām not just dodging lust; Iām growing into someone who can stand against it.
Scriptureās Steady Voice
Philosophy lays the groundwork, but scripture brings it home. Proverbs 9:10 says, āThe fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.ā Thatās where it starts for meānot fear like dread, but awe, respect, a sense that thereās something bigger worth living for. This verse isnāt abstractāitās practical. When I let that reverence guide me, wisdom flows in, pushing lust out. Itās a trade: I give up the cheap thrill of temptation for the deep clarity of a life rooted in something real.
Then thereās Psalm 1:2: āBut his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.ā Thatās my blueprint. Meditating on scripture isnāt just a ritualāitās a lifeline. Day and night, I turn to those words, letting them wash over me, crowding out the noise of lust. Itās not passiveāitās active, a choice to fill my mind with truth instead of letting temptation take up space. The wise voices in scripture donāt just warn me about lustāthey point me toward joy, purpose, a life that doesnāt need to lean on fleeting desires.
Restraint as a Practice
Restraint isnāt glamorousāitās quiet, steady work. But wisdom makes it possible. The words of the wise donāt shame me into saying no; they inspire me to want something better. Day and night, Iām reminded that lust promises more than it deliversāquick highs that fade into regret. Wisdom offers the opposite: a slow, sure strength that builds me up. I practice restraint not because I have to, but because Iāve tasted what itās like to live free of lustās grip.
This practice takes shape in small ways. When lust stirs, I donāt wrestle it aloneāI turn to a verse, a prayer, a lesson Iāve learned from someone wiser. I keep those words close, like a playlist on repeat, so theyāre there when I need them. Itās not about shutting down desireāitās about channeling it toward what lasts.
Day and Night, Lust Deprived
The beauty of this is how it works: wisdom doesnāt just block lustāit starves it. Day and night, Iām feeding my soul with the words of the wise, leaving no room for temptation to take hold. Aristotleās habit becomes my reality; scriptureās truth becomes my strength. Lust might knock, but it doesnāt get inānot when Iāve got wisdom standing guard.
So I keep listening, keep practicing, keep choosing restraint over chaos. The wise have shown me the way, and Iām walking itāone day, one night at a time. Lust doesnāt stand a chance when wisdomās got my back.
