So many beautiful unique interesting people in this world and you have to figure out how to interact with them like you’re a human being and not a little naked gray alien sent to live amongst humans as an experiment

each summer has a different taste 

im so thankful anne carson wrote “i can feel that other day running underneath this one like an old videotape.” today a year ago, today 5 years ago, i can feel that day but i can also taste it and smell it and roll it in my hands , it’s contortions and distinct shape.

one of my best friends has the most beautiful writing you’ve ever seen and her substacks always have me teary eyed over how similarly we feel things. granted mayhaps on different levels but the fact that she understands me and her writing reflects how i feel as well, wow, it’s just beautiful. To be understood. I too just want to be loved whole heartedly and unconditionally and i want it so bad i’ve numbed my emotions to restrain that want, that need. I’ve been hurt so much im scared to even feel loved (romantically) because of the possibility of it being taken from me, so might as well not feel it at all. I realize this isn’t exactly the best way to go about things but I’ve only realized I was numb today and now I don’t even know what to do about it. I digress but I highly recommend the substack, check it.
