A Writer’s Woe I wanted to write a narrative about us. But you wouldn’t give me a paper. I am tired of holding my pen.

I had a spontaneous cuddle date at 6a.m.He invited me to join him and his friends in a club which I declined. He brought croissants even.Mind you I was too nervous to sleep and even had sleep apnea.I thought he was gonna bounce but he stayed and we made out later on.I’m not sure what’s the next move.

Also I feel like someone who hasn’t been fucked up by life at some point can simply not grasps the full spectrum of my being.I’m still a bit fucked up in many ways so on the very rate occasions when I like a normie I just who also seem emotionally available I just dodge cause there are certain things you can’t explain to those who haven’t lived it.

word dump: i feel small but not safe and i don’t enjoy that state of being. I cry because I think that there is no other thing to do. I listen to music and it feels empty. I want a car. I want to live in my own space, an apartment with a window view to the outside, right in from of my sink. I don’t know how to get a grip on my life bc it feels as if everything is a waiting game for me. Is my patience being tested? Why is it that I can’t seem to stop thinking? & why are all my thoughts negative? I’m lying. Not all of them. Still, I can sit here and feel like I miss you. But I doubt if that’s true. I can’t say that I loved you, since it feels wrong, because I couldn’t accept the fact that you are a polyamorous person. And for me, to love means to accept everything about someone. Maybe, I need to redefine a lot of things. So that my vision becomes clearer. How do I become unapologetic about my being without losing sight of what’s right and wrong? I’ve done disgusting things for other’s pleasure, success, and happiness, why do I hesitate to do the same for myself? If I love myself as much as I say I do, why don’t I feel that love? Is this how I make other people feel?

What do horror gays think of “Bring Her Back”? I think it’s better than “Talk To Me”, but after seeing it I felt so insanely miserable. Like, the worst I’ve felt in years. I love how scary and occasionally disgusting it was, but it’s far from “feel-good” or “good for her” horror. If anything, it’s actually “that really fucking sucks for everybody” horror
