me staring at a selfie my friend sent me: how should I respond to this is it unpolite to say they're hot and that I want them should I just go "oooh I love your whole thing going on!" or be specific about the many details I'm genuinely interested in here or maybe would way too much sincerity actually be good because it would show how much I like them and these pictures so they'd have less doubt towards talking to me abt them like that or

friend, now a bit anxious that I haven't replied in 10 minutes: that's my favorite sweater by the way

me: can I fold you into a papercraft model of a war biplane and attach you with a string to a ceiling fan and observe you every day

i am sorry, mama. i know you did your best but i turned out wrong. i only ever sharpen my teeth on my own legs. i can't hunt and every song in my chest sounds more like a siren call. i tremble at every loud noise. i fear i am unlovable. you used to tell me to bark back and bite hard. i let every hand muzzle me and consider it gentle. touchstarved. i'm sorry. you wanted to raise a wolf but i am just a bad dog.

one time a professor asked me if i’d ever wanted to write anything “more important” than romance. and i said no. i was put on this earth to write about sad people kissing. and if another writer ever came up to me and said they wanted to write 400 pages containing nothing but a character baking a single loaf of bread each day, then i would tell them to do that. people don't write something because it's important. they write about something and that is what makes it important
