when i don’t want to face being awake, i struggle with waking up early. when i’m excited about my life, it’s much easier.

whenever i see something beautiful, i want you to see it too

i've always considered myself a community-minded person. but am i actually? are two people considered a community? because i feel like one is the maximum number of healthy relationships i can sustain.

i’m afraid that i’m too shallow to actually generate any interest, to be the one people go to for advice or opinion.

my palms have a memory of their own

i want to be alone. i don't want to be lonely. even when i feel nothing, i feel it completely. i second-guess every decision i make and every thought i have. i'm afraid to ask for help sometimes. i'm afraid to be judged or called a freak. i need constant reassurance and it's embarrassing. i don't want to be this way anymore, sorry...

i’m telling the browser that i’m a human, though i'm not sure that i still am

I've been thinking about the border between friend love and romantic love for a long time... and maybe it's not even a border, maybe it's more like unknown territory... I think we lack a vocabulary to describe all the subtle nuances and forms that relationships can take...

anyway, I find it a shame that friendship is often on the sidelines, e.g. phrases like "we are just friends" or "friendship with benefits" — as if friendship alone isn't enough, isn't a benefit on its own...

argumentation will achieve nothing; we must create symbols, make myths, and imagine miracles

select individuals who could bring a small part of the divine into the mundane.
