everyone talks about finding love, but no one mentions how strange it feels to be in a room full of people and still wish you had someone who gets why you freak out over a soggy paper towel, or that this morning, all you really needed was someone to complain to about your toaster betraying you—turns out, when your situationship introduces you as 'a friend,' that title feels heavier than ever, like...
it’s not that i don’t have friends, it’s just that i keep losing them like socks in the dryer. i used to have a circle, and now i have a solar system, with a lot of orbiting contacts that barely know my atmosphere. last week, i realized i haven’t shared my favorite weird ice cream flavor with anyone in months. funny how i have all these people in my phone but not one who'd join me in indulging in ...
