knowing someone who was a defining figure in your life doesn’t think about you, and mostly being over All the Shit but knowing it will always matter a little because it was a formative and years-long-disaster. that you’ll always wonder how they’re doing and where they live and what their coffee order is now and if things could have been different or if it was always going to end that way. i’ll still see it until i die, you’re the loss of my life. etc.

unfortunately i’m still recovering from “are they second hand embarrassed that i can’t get out of bed ‘cause something counterfeit is dead??” it reminds me of something finally starting to feel like. I’ve Gotten Over it. unfortunately that means i’m looking back at the last couple of years with a clearer eye and going “well that shit was embarrassing and pathetic!!! oops!!”

actually the only other song (edit: besides who’s afraid) from ttpd that i’m close to listening to as much (they’re both on my on repeat playlist) is i can do it with a broken heartwhich is very “*writing with a glitter gel pen* i’m losing my sense of humanity” of me. the duality of being me. etc.
