This has been a thing I’ve been wondering often about; that comes to mind whenever I mention the wrong interest to the wrong person and they look at me as if realizing they don’t know me completely.
You articulated it so beautifully, thank you for this beautiful piece.
You put together the pieces of a puzzle that have been floating around my brain and created an articulate art piece. Thank you for taking the time to write this, I will be rereading it!
i think you described perfectly why relationships are so consuming to me, they always eventually lead to a performance
I felt like this for the longest time and still do sometimes, but i think I’ve begun to realise real intimacy isn’t the absence of performance.
it’s when we notice we’re performing
and slowly begin to let that soften.
with the right people,
you start forgetting to perform at all
yeah, i think i may have found someone who has seen more sides of me than everyone else and still stays
Absolutely incredible. I'm in awe of this piece. And I feel seen. Thank you for writing this.
