Some things about me

My guilty pleasure shows are standup comedies yeah like I didn't expect to like John Mulaney's Baby J but I did. Also Impractical Jokers (their stuff leaves me going "I can't believe they just said that" aaa I love it)

I love songs that sound like people talking ish because they're easy to sing along to

I love songs that have a very band-like sound if that makes sense? Like when the drums hit hard or when the sounds are so music. Yeah love those

I love romantic comedies. My favorite ones would have to be 27 dresses, Set It Up, Confessions of a Shopaholic, and recently I enjoyed Destination Wedding! It was so well done but I feel not everyone would appreciate it. I also

Love Keanu Reeves. What a man.

I like making things because it's the closest thing to magic and the only thing I can do with the love I have in my heart. I feel it got worse when Darren died. There's not enough words in the world to bring him back and not enough gifts to show how important his presence in my life was. I guess I started giving more because they're only in my life for so long. Not just due to death but because of stuff like distance, dreams, obligations, etc. I'm not the best at keeping in touch.

My favorite color is gray actually not green. Maybe out of sentimentality. I feel like I look good in it but because of the weather I don't wear it a lot. It's two things like me, a color made out of non colors.

I don't date because I don't think I feel love like normal people. I don't know. I think it's nice but then get confused. I guess I've never really seen myself with anyone. I think people want to be loved so bad they settle for anything. I can't see myself wanting something like that (well, now at least). I've been alone my whole life. I don't think another person would make much of a difference.

A lot of my emotional support non-fiction people have killed themselves, died young, lived in solitude. Anthony Bourdain. Sylvia Plath. Mac Miller. Franz Kafka. Fernando Pessoa. How do I tell them years later it doesn't really change that much? How are they still making sense? Why can't I be more normal?

I write out this list because lately no one cares enough to ask. No one really wants to know. I'm sorry.

I'm trying to cut them out why won't they leave me alone?

Maybe this is my karma

What advice do you have for someone who feels lost in life?

I freak out about this constantly. I find It's best to just live your life one hour, one minute, even one second, at a time. stare at the veins in a flower. look at a river. people watch. remember you are a small fragment but in the luckiest way possible. hug yourself anon don't let the rules of society make you feel lost when the point of existing is to just be
