“IT WASN’T ABOUT THE MOTHERFUCKING LUNCHBOX.”
I mention this because laughing at absurdity is a huge part of how I process and cope with shit.
Also, I really hope that one day some of my myriad old/ex- friends can forgive me for being so fucking insane. Because apparently I have shit to deal with (not exactly my own shit, mind you), albeit in a...

She does not give a shit about you.

Oh, this sucks.
I wish I could explain the loneliness I feel.
Don’t worry, it’s not always like this.
Except secretly, it is.
I’m going to go pretend to be merely cerebral now, because that’s what my family understands.
I think I’m learning to accept that I’m truly alone, and maybe that I always have been.
P.S. Please disregard this if it seems too intense and/or bleak....

i remember reading somewhere that most laugh tracks were recorded in the 50’s and most of the people laughing in them are dead. which totally makes sense because no living person would laugh at the big bang theory.

Oh, Salinger's good for these things, too.
Franny and Zooey moreso than Catcher in the Rye, though - if for no other reason than the Glasses sort of typify what is it to be a person who lives with that sort of terrible sensitivity without being ultimately destroyed by it (well except for Seymour, but to be fair he had all that, y’know, being-hollowed-out-as-a-person-by-the-horrors-of-war stuff happening).
Like, I think it’s...
Brief Interviews
I’m reading that one story about the guy who’s talking about seducing the naive hippie and then she starts telling him about how she got picked up by a serial killer while hitch-hiking and she circumvented getting deaded by finding compassion for this psycho rapist and it’s a really good story and everything but at the same time it’s like YOU KNOW WHAT THE LENGTH OF THIS...
oh, right
I guess that’s why I’m still sort of crazy.
I do my best, but I'm made of mistakes.
This is one of those nights (mornings, oh crap) where I wish things felt real and authentic and I felt safe and I could just go to sleep.

The Hairpin: When to Touch a Painting* →
“Excuse me?” said the security guard. “You’re standing too close to the art.”
“Okay,” I said, straightening immediately. “Yes, sorry ma’am, sorry.”
Touch me, the painting said.
OH GOD YES IT’S AMAZING
[I’m a terrible person - don’t touch fine art. I mean, unless you’re supposed to or something. I mean if you’re at like, the Whitney I’m sure...
Oh
relief.
Destructive is better than powerless, I can’t imagine anyone would disagree.
That sounds terrible and maladaptive. I guess context is everything.

Nope, it’s just not a legit variation on white russians.
Please don’t tell anyone how ghetto I am.
